Following its data breach last year, Beat the Scammers has partnered with Get Safe Online, to launch an education and awareness campaign aimed at consumers, called TalkTalk. Research by the partnership has shown that calls received by consumers from scammers are twice as frequent as calls from friends. The research also showed that 2.5 million UK households reported a scam phone call last month, with 63% of consumers saying they would not be able to spot a scam. Through the initiative, Beat the Scammers will provide advice to its four million customers, and consumers nationwide, on combating fraud.
