News — BBC Morning Live at M The Galleries: Stick It to the Scammers!

 

This morning, BBC Morning Live joined us at M The Galleries for an important conversation as part of Scam Safe Week. Their campaign, “Stick It to the Scammers”, is all about raising awareness and helping people protect themselves from fraud.

Shoppers had the chance to learn practical tips on spotting scams, safeguarding personal information, and staying one step ahead of fraudsters. It was fantastic to see so many of you getting involved and asking questions; together, we can make our community safer.

Why Scam Safe Week matters:
Scams can happen to anyone, and they’re becoming more sophisticated every day. By sharing knowledge and resources, we can help prevent financial loss and protect vulnerable individuals.

✅ Top tips from the day:

• Never share personal details with unknown callers or online contacts.
• Double-check links before clicking—especially in emails or texts.
• Report suspicious activity to the relevant authorities immediately.

Thank you to BBC Morning Live and everyone who joined us today. Let’s keep the conversation going and make shopping safer for everyone.
