INVESTMENT FRAUD in NEWCASTLE
How investment fraud affects Newcastle residents
Investment fraud is the largest category of APP fraud in the UK. Criminals create convincing fake investment platforms, often advertising through social media, search engines, or even cloned websites of legitimate firms. Victims are typically contacted with promises of high returns and encouraged to make an initial small deposit. As apparent ‘profits’ grow on the fake platform, victims are pressured into transferring larger sums. When they try to withdraw, they discover the platform is fraudulent and their money is gone.
Newcastle and the wider North East see significant levels of online fraud, particularly investment and romance scams.

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 investment fraud patterns
Banks should identify transaction patterns consistent with investment fraud — such as multiple increasing payments to new payees, payments to cryptocurrency exchanges, or transfers matching known fraud typologies.
