Authorised Push Payments Fraud: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Justin Kelly:

Yes, accommodation fraud is one of them. I have done this, not by number of incidents, but by value or the amount of fraud involved. In 2022, it was €599,000. In 2021, it was €506,000. There was a significant increase between 2021 and 2022. If it is helpful I can tell the Deputy which other figures I have and he can let me know which ones he is interested in. If any are not clear, perhaps I or my colleague can explain in detail what each of them means. We have account takeover fraud; business email compromise; card-not-present fraud; investment fraud, which I referred to earlier; loan-mortgage fraud; phishing; vishing; smishing; romance fraud; shopping online auction fraud; and a catch-all for more unusual ones.
