The page highlights fraudulent emails and other scams which are currently active in the North Yorkshire area.

It offers people the opportunity to check out information which they believe to be suspicious to help them avoid becoming the victim of criminals

As the Facebook page's latest post said: "Remember, it's better to be aware before it happens, than to pick up the pieces and have the heartache afterwards."
