New fraud prevention measures including one-click reporting
This is probably not news to some members but I found it interesting. Especially the "Clamping down on 'number spoofing. This will see the Government working with telecoms regulator Ofcom to ensure fraudsters can't impersonate legitimate UK phone numbers."
Quote:
Social media users will be able to report scams with just one-click under new measures announced by the Government today. Banks will also be allowed to delay payments they believe to be suspicious, while cold calls on all financial products will be banned as part of a host of new measures designed to help tackle fraud.
snippet ... The Government's new national fraud squad will comprise of 400 specialist investigators who will work together with local police forces and the UK's intelligence community - which includes MI5, MI6 and GCHQ - to clamp down on scammers.
