Banks to refund scam victims, but many won't be covered yet

摘要

Thousands of people remain at risk of online bank fraud because several banks have failed to sign up to a new scheme designed to refund victims. Until now, many victims who have unintentionally sent money to scammers haven't been refunded because they actually confirmed the payment. But under new rules introduced on 28 May, banks will reimburse victims from a pot of money that banks will contribute to.
