CRYPTOCURRENCY FRAUD in MIDDLESBROUGH
How crypto fraud affects Middlesbrough residents
Cryptocurrency fraud has grown rapidly as digital currencies have become more mainstream. Scammers create fake crypto trading platforms, impersonate legitimate exchanges, or use social media to promote fraudulent token offerings. Victims typically transfer money from their UK bank account to what they believe is a crypto exchange or investment platform, only to find the platform is fake or their funds cannot be withdrawn.
Middlesbrough and Teesside residents are protected by PSR mandatory reimbursement for bank transfer fraud.

Why your bank may owe you a refund
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 crypto fraud transaction patterns
Banks should identify payments to known or suspected fraudulent crypto platforms, flag multiple transfers to cryptocurrency exchanges from customers without a pattern of such transactions, and apply enhanced fraud warnings for payments potentially linked to crypto investment scams.

Cryptocurrency Fraud claims in Middlesbrough
No. We operate entirely remotely and serve clients across the whole UK. There’s no need to visit an office.
This is a common misunderstanding. What matters is how the payment left your bank account, not what it was used for. If you transferred money via Faster Payments or CHAPS from your UK bank account — even if it went to a crypto exchange — the PSR mandatory reimbursement rules may apply. We challenge banks that incorrectly refuse claims on this basis.
