INVOICE FRAUD in MIDDLESBROUGH
How invoice fraud affects Middlesbrough residents
Invoice fraud typically targets individuals and businesses who are expecting to make a legitimate payment. Criminals intercept email communications — often by hacking email accounts — and send altered invoices with their own bank details substituted for the genuine recipient’s. Common scenarios include property purchases where conveyancing payments are redirected, business invoices where supplier bank details are changed, and fake invoices for services never provided.
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 apply Confirmation of Payee checks
Banks should flag mismatches between the payee name and account holder through Confirmation of Payee. For large or unusual payments — particularly first-time payments to new recipients — additional verification should be applied.

No. We operate entirely remotely and serve clients across the whole UK. There’s no need to visit an office.
Yes. This is a classic invoice fraud scenario. Your bank should have applied Confirmation of Payee checks which would have flagged a mismatch between the name you expected to pay and the actual account holder. The fact that you intended to make a legitimate payment does not prevent you from claiming.
