“It’s concerning to see yet another rise in fraud and scams cases coming to our service,” said Abby Thomas, chief executive and chief Ombudsman of the FOS.

The Financial Ombudsman Service has released new data showing that complaints about fraud and scams are at record highs.

Between July and September this year, the Ombudsman received 73,692 overall complaints, significantly higher than the 46,716 cases it received over the same period last year.
