A survey by NatWest has found that 57% of UK students have been scammed by fraudsters, or have had close shaves.

Young adults had an average of £300 stolen by scammers in the last year, with one in four targeted by scammers impersonating their bank, according to a survey of 5,000 undergraduates. The Home Office has launched a campaign to raise awareness.

We would like to hear from UK students about their experiences. Have you been targeted by scammers?
