Banks launch fraud campaign
The British Bankers’ Association has launched a fraud awareness campaign today and revealed millions are unwittingly leaving themselves vulnerable to scammers who pose as bank staff on the phone and online.
Over the past year, This is Money has highlighted a series of such frauds and our investigations have helped win back thousands for readers.
Three weeks ago we ramped up our campaign and called on banks to do more to stop phone fraudsters using scams dubbed vishing. One of our main aims has been to raise awareness among those vulnerable to telephone fraudsters posing as their bank.
