'For some who lose money to scammers, the loss can be tens of thousands and, in some cases, hundreds of thousands of pounds'
Since the start of the year, 5,600 reports of attempted scams and scams were made to the PSNI, it has been confirmed.
Chief Superintendent Pollock said: "We should never lose sight of the fact that behind every loss, no matter what it has been, is a person or a business owner who has been taken advantage of in the most despicable and callous way. In some cases, the impact of the scam has life-long consequences."The biggest amount of money we have seen lost this year has been a person who lost £350,000 as a result of a cryptocurrency investment scam.
The PSNI believes there is "rising awareness of frauds among the public and that’s driving some of the reporting and we see this in that around 60% of the reports we receive do not involve any financial loss". "From 2011-12, there has been a significant increase in the amount of fraud reported, from around 1,400 offences being reported to The Police Service in 2011-12 up to around 5,300 in the last financial year, 2021-22. For some who lose money to scammers, the loss can be tens of thousands and, in some cases, hundreds of thousands of pounds.

Chronic diseases and productivity loss among middle-aged and elderly in India - BMC Public HealthContext Chronic diseases are growing in India and largely affecting the middle-aged and elderly population; many of them are in working age. Though a large number of studies estimated the out-of-pocket payment and financial catastrophe due to this condition, there are no nationally representative studies on productivity loss due to health problems. This paper examined the pattern and prevalence of productivity loss, due to chronic diseases among middle-aged and elderly in India. Methods We have used a total of 72,250 respondents from the first wave of Longitudinal Ageing Study in India (LASI), conducted in 2017-18. We have used two dependent variables, limiting paid work and ever stopped work due to ill health. We have estimated the age-sex adjusted prevalence of ever stopped working due to ill health and limiting paid work across MPCE quintile and socio- demographic characteristics. Propensity Score Matching (PSM) and logistic regression was used to examine the effect of chronic diseases on both these variables. Findings We estimated that among middle aged adults in 45–64 years, 3,213 individuals accounting to 6.9% (95%CI:6.46–7.24) had ever-stopped work and 6,300 individuals accounting to 22.7% (95% CI: 21.49–23.95) had limiting paid work in India. The proportion of ever-stopped and limiting work due to health problem increased significantly with age and the number of chronic diseases. Limiting paid work is higher among females (25.1%), and in urban areas (24%) whereas ever-stopped is lower among female (5.7%) (95% CI:5.16–6.25 ) and in urban areas (4.9%) (95% CI: 4.20–5.69). The study also found that stroke (21.1%) and neurological or psychiatric problems (18%) were significantly associated with both ever stopped work and limiting paid work. PSM model shows that, those with chronic diseases are 4% and 11% more likely to stop and limit their work respectively. Regression model reveals that more than one chronic conditions had a consistent and significant positive
