That's disappointing. MET Police, NFIB and NCA contacts over many years have repeated ActionFraud reports do make a difference, not using it and not reporting it will skew statistics and therefore allocation of funds and people.
I do agree that for the individual victim it feels useless doing so, and that the reporting form is poor for some fraud and often needs the "here is your reference number" email responding to with the appropriate free hand details or attachments.
