There have been campaigns to improve the situation of victims of domestic violence, sexual assaults, gun and knife crimes. However, few campaigns have focused on fraud victims, resulting in fraud being described as a silent crime, with victims receiving little support or restitution. This report begins to fill that gap. The report presents findings from surveys conducted in the summer of 2009 on the largest group of fraud victims in the U.K. to date. Using face-to-face interviews, focus groups and telephone interviews about 800 victims have provided information on their experiences and their attitudes to the support available.
