Published 23 February 2024
Request
I am writing to request information covering 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2023 Specifically, I would like to obtain the following information from Action Fraud: The total number of instances when a mobile network operator (either O2, Three, EE, or Vodafone) was given as an answer to the question "Which company is pursuing the victim for the debt?" on the 'Report Fraud' form. Of the above reports, how many were passed over to police forces for investigation (broken down by month). Please also provide the number passed over to police forces for investigation broken down by the police forces it was sent to (for example, how many were sent to the Greater Manchester Police).
Response
See attached.
Please note "Three" is too broad a search term to accurately return the data requested. We are therefore unable to fulfil this part of your request.
