• No sense of urgency in UK fraud response

  The UK still lacks a new fraud strategy, leaving consumers and businesses exposed to escalating threats. In this episode, Lindsey and Rachel unpack why the lack of government action and explore the blame game between tech giants, financial services and policymakers. Meta faces criticism for enabling fraud through its platforms—but Meta points the finger back at payments providers. Meanwhile, identity fraud is becoming a jigsaw puzzle of stolen data, weak controls, and fragmented accountability. Amid the chaos, Starling Bank stands out as a bright spot with its innovative fraud intelligence tool, proving that thoughtful measures may make a real difference.LinksStarling Bank scam detector tool prompts questions for Ofcom, MetaNew rules proposed to combat SMS scams in UKUK fraud and fincrime information sharing deemed ineffective, clubby Serious abuse of the UK corporate register continues despite reforms Tech firms must be held to account for role in proliferating fraud, incidents surge 17%Contact useditorial@corylated.comwww.compliancecorylated.comwww.corlytics.com
