Which? response as FCA tackles scam adverts

1 min read
Rocio Concha, Which? Director of Policy and Advocacy, said: "Scammers are taking advantage of the cost of living crisis to prey on consumers, and the dire financial straits many people are in means that fraudulent adverts offering tempting financial returns are even more dangerous. "The FCA is right that the Online Safety Bill is desperately needed. The government must not delay the Bill any further so that consumers are given greater protection against a flood of fraudulent adverts on the world's biggest social media sites and search engines."
