IMPERSONATION FRAUD in IPSWICH

How impersonation fraud affects Ipswich residents

Impersonation fraud is one of the most distressing types of APP scam because victims believe they are following instructions from a trusted authority. Criminals spoof phone numbers so calls appear to come from your bank, HMRC, or the police. They create convincing scenarios — your account has been compromised, you owe unpaid tax, or you need to move money to a ‘safe account’ — and pressure victims into making immediate transfers.

Ipswich and Suffolk residents are protected by UK-wide PSR mandatory reimbursement for bank transfer fraud.

PSR mandatory reimbursement

Since October 2024, banks must reimburse eligible APP fraud victims up to £85,000 for payments via Faster Payments and CHAPS within 5 business days.

Failure to detect impersonation fraud patterns

Banks should identify transactions consistent with impersonation scams — such as urgent transfers to new payees, ‘safe account’ transfers, or payments immediately following a phone call. Banks should also have systems to detect when their own identity is being spoofed.
