Victimless my @$%!!

Fraud of this manner is such an issue lately that the authorities need to do what they can, regardless of where it takes place. If you are a citizen in the UK then you could at least hope that your own police/investigators could help even if the scam takes place overseas.

"There is often... an attitude that victims of fraud should have done more to protect themselves," said the report. There was also "a pragmatic realisation that fraud is not a policing priority and so is unlikely to get investigated,"

Yes, it is true that victims need to protect themselves better but for the authorities to think that is rediculous. If people are going to geet this kind of reaction from their own police, then they need to take action themselves and start protecting their assets on their own.
