Just under half (44%) of fraud victims do not receive a full reimbursement Under current regulations, if your bank has not taken enough action, they don’t reimburse you or they don’t respond, then you have no right to complain or escalate your complaints to any authority. In 2018 the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) proposed plans to increase the powers of the Financial Ombudsman Services, which would allow victims to escalate complaints and ultimately, enable more people to claim reimbursement of funds lost through this particular type of scam. ‘people subject to this kind of scam do not currently have legal protection to cover their losses’ It’s called Authorised Push Payments (APP) and unfortunately, people subject to this kind of scam do not currently have legal protection to cover their losses. Out of the £500m lost in the first half of 2018, 30% (£145m) of that was lost through this type of scam. When you also consider that only one in five people report the incident to Action Fraud, the UK’s national fraud reporting service, or the police, the true figure could actually be much higher.ģ0% of customers duped into authorising access to their account – with no legal protectionĪlthough we live in an increasingly digital world, a lot of fraud happens face-to-face, over the phone or through postal services, with smart scammers tricking people into handing over crucial details and access to accounts. That’s a little less than both the health and defence budgets for the UK. It’s estimated that the total cost of all fraud to the UK is £190bn a year.
