Alex Bacsa is the founder and editor of Beat the Scam, an independent UK consumer-protection publication covering scams, fraud, and the plain-English verification checks readers need before they send money, share credentials, or install software they didn't ask for. He runs Beat the Scam from the UK as an outside operator — not a journalist, lawyer, regulator, or banker — paying close attention to the patterns that keep costing UK households tens of millions a year and translating them into checks anyone can run in under sixty seconds. Coverage is drafted with AI tooling against a strict editorial template, then run through an automated accuracy gate that validates reporting routes against a verified canon of official UK sources — Action Fraud, the FCA, the NCSC, and Citizens Advice — and holds back anything that fails; readers are invited to flag any error for prompt correction.
