RESEARCHERS at the University of the West of England (UWE) want to hear from people who have targeted by con artists.

The team is conducting research into what makes people susceptible to scams, be it online, over the phone, through the post or face-to-face.

Anyone who has fallen victim to a scam or simply received a suspicious communication but did not respond to it is being asked to take part in the online research survey.

If you are interested in taking part in the survey or want to find out more contact Dr Emma Williams by emailing emma25.williams@uwe.ac.uk
