  • Latest bank transfer fraud victims: 'We've lost £113,665 and are now homeless

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/personal-...-now-homeless/

    A mother and daughter from Kent have told Telegraph Money of their horror at discovering they had been tricked into sending £113,665 to a criminal – instead of to a solicitor who was dealing with their home purchase.The fraud was discovered only a fortnight ago and Nikki and Jill Douthwaite – along with their six cats and two dogs – are now living with friends.
    They cannot buy the £182,000 Cambridgeshire bungalow they were expecting to move into.
    Within days of their shocking discovery Britain’s payments watchdog – the Payment Systems Regulator – finally addressed the widespread problem of “transfer fraud” in a long-awaited report that set out tentative proposals to help victims such as the Douthwaites.
