Action Fraud (Royaume-Uni)

Au Royaume-Uni, Action Fraud est la voie nationale de signalement des fraudes et de la cybercriminalité, mais les problèmes de carte bancaire doivent d'abord être signalés à la banque

If you were scammed in the UK, Action Fraud is the main reporting route for fraud and cyber crime. If the payment risk is still active, contact the bank first and then complete the report.
