The reality is that financial scams are becoming increasingly common, with criminals taking advantage of vulnerable people and exploiting their lack of knowledge. It is therefore essential that banks and other financial institutions take steps to better protect their customers from these scams. This could include educating customers about the risks associated with financial scams, or taking more proactive measures such as monitoring for suspicious activity and blocking transactions that could be part of a scam.

It is not enough just to provide customers with education and advice banks must also take proactive steps to ensure that their customers are protected from fraud.
