Authorised Push Payment Fraud: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Ollie Irwin:

Once that has been reviewed our trust and safety teams will review the ad against our policy. In this case, if it is a scam, we will review it against our misrepresentation policy and then there can be further reviews on the account itself. I will share some of the numbers Mr. Meade mentioned earlier. Some 5.2 billion ads were removed in the last year but about 6 million accounts were also removed in that time. We take action in those scenarios. As far as reporting it further, in some instances we may not have full awareness of the fraud or scam that can happen off our services or platforms.
