Be aware of farm subsidy fraud

As farmers start to receive subsidies under the basic payment scheme, the risk of fraud can increase. To help protect yourself follow these steps.

  • Be aware of who is contacting you. If you receive a phone call or email from someone claiming to be from an organisation you have a relationship with, take time to validate the contact by calling them back on a number you have independently checked.
  • Don’t be rushed. Fraudsters will often make requests sound urgent and will make you feel pressured. Genuine business rarely act like this. Always take the time to thoroughly check any calls, emails and texts to make sure they are genuine.

The Rural Payments Agency has set out guidance to help farmers protect themselves against fraud.
