How do I report email fraud in the UK?

I'm looking for a place to rent but I'm getting a lot of fairly legitmate looking emails about non-existent places to rent. They include real information like actual address and photos.

People could easily become victims of this and post off a deposit (and never hear of the apartment again)

What email address can I forward these to in the UK?

Answer 1

Ring the Old Bill. More than likely the scammers are asking for wire transfers of funds that will be collected outside of the country. This will limit their ability to do much of anything about it, however.

Answer 2

I've just read the question posted after yours. Sounds like there's lots of e-mail fraud around with estate agencies after all. Read it - it's from combat baby - the question above this one if you click on the renting and real estate section.
