With so many scams, and warnings about scams, going around, it's difficult to know what's true and what isn't.

http://www.safefromscams.co.uk/uk is a good place to start, with an easy to use menu of topics and a good search function.

It's easy to read and it's a UK site.

Snopes.com is another good resource for checking out whether the safety warnings we all receive via e-mail are genuine or are just scaremongering.

There are pages specifically for these types of crime warnings (with a simple red, amber and green system of warning).
