North Yorkshire Police and North Yorkshire Trading Standards are offering local residents the opportunity to join an online event just prior to this years 'Black Friday' and 'Cyber Monday' shopping events.

Each year North Yorkshire residents spend millions of pounds in the run up to Christmas and Black Friday and Cyber Monday are now established shopping events which retailers advertise heavily. Fraudsters and Counterfeiters are also ready to relieve local residents of their hard earned money on fake goods or online scams. It is likely that scams of this type will see an increase this year with many retailers suffering supply issues. This is an opportunity to learn about the signs to look out for and to ask officers who specialise in fraud from North Yorkshire Police and North Yorkshire Trading Standards any questions in relation to such matters
