Reporting Fraud

If you suspect dishonest or fraudulent activity on our network, notify us immediately via email. You should not try to personally conduct an investigation into a suspected fraud. We will treat your report with absolute confidentiality.

The results of our investigations will not be disclosed or discussed with anyone other than those who have a legitimate need to know. This is important to protect the reputations of people or companies who have been suspected of fraud, but who have subsequently found to have been innocent, and to protect the organisation from potential liability.

It's important that you contact us as soon as you suspect there may be a fraudulent act on the site. It'll help us keep you and everyone else who uses the site safe.
