BBC News - Report e-mail scams, National Fraud Authority urges

Millions of Britons who receive scam letters and e-mails are now being urged to forward them on just the once - to the National Fraud Authority.

The agency has launched a new operation to track down the fraudsters behind the multi-million pound industry in scam mail, but needs public input.

It wants people to forward e-mails to email@actionfraud.org.uk for analysis.

Chief executive Dr Bernard Herdan said doing so would give "unprecedented" information about criminal activity.

"Both in terms of collecting lots of fraudulent e-mails and letters, and getting those e-mails sent to our website that we can send on to the police, that has not been possible before.

Nope they don't really have a clue how big this problem is, the funding they get might cover investigation of a dozen cases but after that they are pissing in the wind. Unless someone dies the government will never throw serious money at the problem.

Even when someone dies the government will never throw serious money at the problem.

Fixed that for ya...
