Payment divert Fraud is a term given to the criminal practise of fraudulently changing the bank account details of contractors causing the payment of legitimate invoices to be paid to an alternative bank account. The practice often involves a business or public body receiving a fax or letter purporting to be from a contractor they are using. This fax or letter may appear to be genuine due to the inclusion of the company logo and information relating to supplier codes and invoice numbers; it will request that the bank account details held by the receiving organisation are changed due to the contractor changing their banking arrangements.

Tackling Hate Crime
Hate crime is a violation of personal and civil rights. Effective action against hate incidents requires that these crimes be reported, to the police, council and all other appropriate agencies.
Only if hate crime is reported can we, together, take action to deal with it. No one has the right to harass, threaten or assault anyone because of who they are.
Visit the Hate Crime section of our website and learn how to report it, who can report it, and what support and advice is available.
