West Sussex County Council is backing a campaign to help people avoid becoming a victim of a scam.
Scam awareness fortnight runs between June 13th and 26th and the campaign aims to create a network of confident, alert consumers who know what to do when they spot a scam.
It's being run by Citizens Advice and they hope to protect individuals and family members from scams.
The message is that scams are crimes that can happen to anyone and that everyone can take a stand to help stop them.
