This is Unseen Money from New Money Review.

I’m Paul Amery and I’m joined by my co-host, security researcher Timur Yunusov.

Unseen money is our journey into the darker corners of digital payments.

For many of us, transferring money is now faster and easier than ever before. It takes a couple of swipes on a smartphone.

But with digital payments have come many new opportunities for criminals.

Perhaps you’ve suffered from a phishing attack, an ID theft or a cryptocurrency scam.

Maybe an online purchase went wrong, but you’re not sure how.

We’re here to investigate—and to report to you in non-technical language.

In this episode of the podcast, Timur and I discuss the UK’s new rules for compensating people who’ve been tricked into transferring money to criminals.

Have the rules deterred the scammers? Or have they just moved on to another type of payment fraud?

Listen in for more.
