Authorised Push Payment Fraud: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Dualta ? Broin:
Regarding those potential scam ads, I would encourage people to report them through the app functionality. I do not have a figure for the Deputy but the amount of investment on the other side to combat it far outweighs any small amount that would be received for the ad. In addition, it creates a bad user experience. Other brands and advertisers do not want to have that near their material. There is also reputational damage. While there may be a financial payment which is as a result of the ad, it would be minimal compared to the investment and the other damage done on the other side.
