These scams can take various forms, such as romance scams, where victims are deceived into paying for non-existent relationships, or investment scams, where money is sent for fictitious investment opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>Scammers build trust with their victims, posing as trusted figures like lawyers, accountants, friends, family members, romantic interests, or business partners. Using manipulative methods and deception, they convince the victim to transfer money urgently and sometimes regularly from their bank accounts.<\/p>\n<p>As victims believe these transfers to be genuine, they often realise they've been scammed too late, and embarrassment may prevent them from seeking help. These payments are typically sent overseas, complicating the tracing and recovery of the lost funds.<\/p>\n<p>The rise of real-time payment systems has facilitated APP fraud for cybercriminals. Once money is transferred, it's irretrievable once the victim discovers the fraud, making APP scams particularly damaging and challenging to counteract.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><div

proceedings result in a conviction, the Court may award compensation to the victim. However, tracking down fraudsters, especially those based overseas, can be challenging, and they may not have sufficient assets to pay compensation.<\/p>\n<p>Many victims don't realise that banks, where payments to scammers are made, are obligated to exercise due diligence in managing their customers' accounts. This includes implementing stringent security and data protection measures, as well as procedures to identify and respond to 'red flags.' These red flags could be vulnerable customers, frequent and large-value transfers, or other transactions that are unusual or deviate from a customer's normal activity.<\/p>\n<p>In cases where there's a disagreement between a bank and a customer who has been scammed, the customer can lodge a complaint with the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS). The FOS will review the specifics of the fraud and how the bank handled it. In their assessment, FOS considers the bank's greater awareness of fraud types compared to the average customer. Therefore, banks are expected to take protective measures like halting suspicious transfers, freezing accounts, or working in collaboration with other banks to safeguard their customers.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n              <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n      <div class=\"bde-faq__item\">\n      <h3 class=\"bde-faq__title-tag\">\n       <button id=\"bde-faq-130-button-2\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"bde-faq-130-2\" class=\"bde-faq__question js-faq-item\">\n          <span class=\"bde-faq__title\">What should I do if I think I have been the victim of a Push Payment Fraud?<\/span>\n                           <div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"bde-faq__icon bde-faq__icon--inactive\">\n                                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\"><!-- Font Awesome Free 5.15.1 by @fontawesome - https:\/\/fontawesome.com License - https:\/\/fontawesome.com\/license\/free (Icons: CC BY 4.0, Fonts: SIL OFL 1.1, Code: MIT License) --><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"\/><\/svg>\n                            <\/div>\n         \t  <div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"bde-faq__icon bde-faq__icon--active\">\n                                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\"><!-- Font Awesome Free 5.15.1 by @fontawesome - https:\/\/fontawesome.com License - https:\/\/fontawesome.com\/license\/free (Icons: CC BY 4.0, Fonts: SIL OFL 1.1, Code: MIT License) --><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"\/><\/svg>\n                            <\/div>\n                  <\/button>\n      <\/h3>\n      <div hidden=\"true\" aria-labelledby=\"bde-faq-130-button-2\" id=\"bde-faq-130-2\" class=\"bde-faq__answer\">\n        <div class=\"bde-faq__answer-content breakdance-rich-text-styles\">\n        <div class=\"flex-1 overflow-hidden\">\n<div class=\"react-scroll-to-bottom--css-ezupc-79elbk h-full\">\n<div class=\"react-scroll-to-bottom--css-ezupc-1n7m0yu\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-col pb-9 text-sm\">\n<div class=\"w-full text-token-text-primary\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-7\">\n<div class=\"px-4 py-2 justify-center text-base md:gap-6 m-auto\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-1 text-base mx-auto gap-3 md:px-5 lg:px-1 xl:px-5 md:max-w-3xl lg:max-w-[40rem] xl:max-w-[48rem] group final-completion\">\n<div class=\"relative flex w-full flex-col lg:w-[calc(100%-115px)] agent-turn\">\n<div class=\"flex-col gap-1 md:gap-3\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-grow flex-col max-w-full\">\n<div class=\"min-h-[20px] text-message flex flex-col items-start gap-3 whitespace-pre-wrap break-words [.text-message+&amp;]:mt-5 overflow-x-auto\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"896cf473-7e14-4aac-8fb0-87cbdc16e963\">\n<div class=\"markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert dark\">\n<p>In the event of falling victim to a scam, it's crucial to act swiftly by notifying both the police and your bank.
