Put to Rights - Get your money back

Do you have an issue that you need to put right? Which? can help you.

For our latest Put to Rights piece, we helped a woman who lost £56,000 to authorised push payment (APP) fraud, where scammers pose as the victim’s bank to lure them into transferring money.

In this instance, a scammer spoofed Barclays' phone number. They informed the victim that her bank account had been compromised and she should move her money to a ‘safe’ account. This resulted in the victim transferring £56,000 to the scammer. Thankfully, they managed to get their money back with our help.

Discover what to do if you fall victim to APP fraud.
