Scams Service to Continue to 2027 - Age UK

Be especially wary if anyone claiming to be from Age UK contacts you about a scam or urges you to move money to keep it safe ΓÇö Age UK's actual scams service offers advice and support, never asks you to hand over cash. If you're in doubt, ring Age UK directly on their published number rather than any contact details in a message.

Stop and think before you act. If something feels urgent, threatening, or too good to be true ΓÇö that urgency is the weapon. Scammers use pressure to override your judgement. Nothing is ever so urgent that you can't take five minutes to check, call back on a number you found yourself, or ask someone you trust.
