We are working with City of London Police to replace Action Fraud with a new system that will improve support and reporting tools for victims and intelligence provided to forces.
This includes improvements to the process that the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau (NFIB) uses to determine whether a report should be considered for investigation. Reports submitted to Action Fraud are analysed to identify vulnerable victims so their cases can be prioritised for immediate assessment and one-to-one support.
The improvements have been tested across the victim support landscape, law enforcement agencies, and other relevant bodies.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment her Department has made of the potential merits of mandating that the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau must assess and action all legitimate cases referred to it by Action Fraud.

Reports submitted to Action Fraud are considered by the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau (NFIB).
The NFIB consider a number of factors, including whether there are any linked reports and the information provided about the suspects. Where there is sufficient evidence then the report will be analysed by a crime reviewer and sent to the appropriate police force to be considered for investigation.
We are replacing the Action Fraud service to create a more efficient new system that will provide better intelligence to forces. Improvements include:
- Increasing the number of staff in the call centre
- Expanding the reach of victim care services, including for the most vulnerable
- Sending cases to forces faster and better progress updates on cases
These improvements, which have been tested across the victim support landscape, law enforcement agencies, and other relevant bodies, will improve the support services and reporting tools for victims, provide greater intelligence and insight to policing for investigations, and allow for greater proactive work to prevent and disrupt fraudsters at scale.

The Home Office is aware of various allegations in the press about Action Fraud and the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau within the City of London Police. The government remains committed to improving the law enforcement response to fraud. This is why we requested that Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary Fire and Rescue Services (HMICFRS) conduct a thematic inspection on fraud to ensure our response is meeting the needs of fraud victims. The City of London Police (as the National Lead Force for fraud) is currently implementing recommendations within HMICFRS’ inspection report.
The Home Office will monitor delivery of HMICFRS’ recommendations through its Economic Crime Delivery Board (chaired by the Permanent Secretaries of the Home Office and HMT) and Economic Crime Strategic Board (chaired by the Home Secretary and the Chancellor).

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they intend to require the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau via Action Fraud to record computer software service frauds, such as the Microsoft Technical Support scam, including instances where no money has been lost as a result of the scam.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they intend to require the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau via Action Fraud to record computer software service frauds, such as the Microsoft Technical Support scam, including instances where no money has been lost as a result of the scam.
In the year to June 2016 (the latest published Action Fraud figures), there were 24,565 incidents of computer software service fraud, an increase of 2% when compared with the previous year (24,109 in year to June 2015).
The Fraud Act 2006 is clear that fraud can be committed even where no money has been lost. Computer software service fraud should be reported to Action Fraud, the national reporting centre for fraud and online crime. All fraud reports made to Action Fraud are subsequently transferred to the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau (NFIB). The NFIB evaluates the reports to assess information available which could assist an investigation, and also to identify links between seemingly unconnected incidents and therefore build intelligence.
This Government is committed to ensuring that law enforcement and the intelligence agencies have the tools they need to carry out the critical responsibilities Parliament has placed on them. One of the key aims of the Investigatory Powers Act is to ensure that investigatory powers are fit for a digital age and that crime can be investigated wherever it takes place, regardless of the method of communication.
The Investigatory Powers Act, once brought into force, will provide that communications data may be acquired for the purpose of preventing or detecting crime, wherever that crime takes place, where an application for communications data meets the requirements for necessity and proportionality set out in the Act. This would, of course, include the use of the powers to investigate fraud and other related criminal offences.
