To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what support her Department provides to victims of online fraud and scams in (a) Fylde constituency and (b) Lancashire.

Answered by Dan Jarvis

The National Economic Crime Victim Care Unit (NECVCU), led by the City of London Police, is a national service that supports all 43 forces in England and Wales, which provides victims of all types of fraud and cybercrime with the support they need.

The aim of NECVCU is for victims to feel safe and more confident following contact, whilst assisting them to cope and recover from the crime, and reduce the likelihood of repeat victimisation. Since its inception in 2018, NECVCU has supported over 440,000 victims of fraud.
