Over ons
Our mission is to protect consumers worldwide from scams by raising awareness, enabling hand-on tools for consumers and law enforcement, facilitating knowledge sharing, organizing research, supporting the development of (legal) best practices, and offering training and education. The number of online scams is booming. $1.026 trillion was lost by consumers to scams in 2023. However, this is only the tip of the iceberg as only 7% of all victims report the online scam to the police. Still, in most developed countries 20 to 40% of all reported crime is now related to online fraud. Scammers, however, can go free because they can operate globally, while law enforcement operations locally, regionally, or nationally. According to the World Economic Forum, only 0.05% of all cybercriminals are prosecuted.

Our groundbreaking new protections for victims of authorised push payment (APP) scams start today! 🙌 🙌 🙌 Under our new rules, people making payments from one UK account to another using the Faster Payments system (the system used for mobile and online banking) or CHAPS system (the UK’s high value payment system used for some consumer payments such as house purchases) will now benefit from world leading levels of protection against APP fraud. 📢 David Geale, Managing Director of the PSR, said: "Today is a very important day in making it quicker and simpler for victims of APP scams to get back money they’ve lost to criminals, with a guaranteed minimum level of protection in place. “But not only that, our new requirements will see all payment firms involved facing strong incentives to introduce more robust ways of identifying and preventing these scams from happening in the first place. Firms have already made a good start in making changes and we expect to continue seeing new and innovative systems being rolled out to drive fraud out of our payment systems.” 👉 Read our full announcement here: https://lnkd.in/eE8WnQba
