Protecting people against scams is more important than ever. Many people are facing issues as a result of the coronavirus pandemic – from employment and debt, to housing and health – meaning more people are in vulnerable situations. Scammers are taking advantage of this, so it’s vital people have the knowledge and tools they need to protect themselves.

Citizens Advice East End provides free, confidential and impartial advice for communities in Hackney, Newham and Tower Hamlets on the big issues affecting people’s lives. For advice, phone 020 3855 4472.
