Online fraud and scams
16 March 2023
Ofcom has commissioned a study to understand users' experiences of, and attitudes towards online fraud and scams.
We carried out this mixed-method (quantitative and qualitative) research in line with our duty to promote and research media literacy in the UK. It is one of a series of research studies to help inform our preparations for implementing new online safety laws.
The findings should not be considered a reflection of any final policy position that Ofcom may adopt when we take up our role as the online safety regulator.
