How fusion cells disrupt and prevent scams
Fusion cells bring together expertise from different government and private sector participants to address specific, urgent scam problems.
The first fusion cell looked at investment scams and ran from August 2023 to February 2024.
The second fusion cell ran from September 2024 to March 2025. It focused on job and employment scams. The job scam fusion cell aimed to disrupt criminal groups advertising or offering jobs that do not exist.
Our third fusion cell focused on romance scams and ran from July 2025 to December 2025. Its initiatives helped to strengthen romance scam disruption activity, enhance intelligence sharing and improve victim support.
