Original Note:
The statement that fraud has reduced by 13% is misleading, when police reported fraud increased 15%, and UK Finance reported a 46% increase. https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/crimeandjustice/bulletins/crimeinenglandandwales/yearendingjune2023#fraud The rate of fraud has in fact increased 128% compared with the year to Sept 2013. https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/crimeandjustice/datasets/crimeinenglandandwalesappendixtables
