Sussex – dating fraud hotspot

The Times newspaper has analysed data from Action Fraud to
identify the places across the UK that are most associated with common frauds.
Sussex is a hotspot for dating fraud where people are duped into sending or
giving money to a lover or a date they meet online.

The fraudsters would appear to be targeting people that
appear to be the more affluent [or at least the people purporting to be such –
you never know what’s true with dating sites]. Meanwhile next door Surrey had
the most door-to-door frauds per head and Yorkshire had the most insurance
frauds.
