Ben Hanlin TV magician on scams & fraud
YOUNG PEOPLE ARE MOST CONFIDENT BUT LEAST PREPARED TO TACKLE FRAUDSTERS
Despite 91% of young adults feeling confident that they would be able to spot a fake request for personal information online, new research from UK Finance’s ‘Take Five to Stop Fraud’ campaign suggests it’s actually young adults who are the most at risk group
While almost half of 18-24 year olds have been targeted by impersonation scammers, 52% admit having shared personal information or making a payment as a result of the request
Ben Hanlin, magician and trickster by trade, is raising awareness of the financial threat to young people and reminding them to Stop, Challenge and Protect when faced with potential scams
