You may already be aware, that you can report suspicious emails by forwarding them to the national Suspicious Email Reporting Service. (SERS) [email protected]
For suspicious text messages, you can forward them to 7726.
Since last month, the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has launched an additional tool called the scam website reporting service that allows the public to send them a link from websites which they think are trying to scam them.
If the investigation concludes that the website is malicious, then the NCSC can issue a notice to the host requesting that the website is removed so that it becomes inaccessible to others.
Fake websites are used by criminals to advertise cheap goods and services such as holidays and electronic goods that do not exist. Or, they will put the link to the fake website into a range of phishing communications such as; email, text, social media.
