Action Fraud has warned of a recent surge in so-called “CEO fraud” that has resulted in charities losing money intended to buy staff Christmas presents.

Partner and Head of Dispute Resolution
The scam involves a fraudster posing as the CEO or another senior person in the charity. They send an email request to a colleague to buy gift cards, which they say will be given to staff for Christmas. But then they request copies of the cards and use the codes to spend on themselves at the charity’s expense.
If you would like more information about how to protect your charity from fraud or to discuss a specific matter, please email us at [email protected] or call 020 7551 7777 and ask to speak to Rob Oakley or Mindy Jhittay.
