2025年,金融监察员处报告了31 300起欺诈和诈骗投诉,其中大约20 000起涉及授权付款。 The Financial Ombudsman Service reported 31,300 fraud and scam complaints in 2025, with about 20,000 involving authorised payments. 半数以上与网上投资骗局有关,这些骗局往往通过社交媒体或搜索引擎加以宣传,有望带来高回报,特别是在加密货币方面。 Over half were linked to online investment scams, often promoted via social media or search engines, promising high returns—especially in cryptocurrency. 受害者通常获得小额初始收益,然后被迫支付费用或税收,以收回从未出现的资金。 Victims typically receive small initial gains, then pressured to pay fees or taxes to withdraw funds that never appear. 需要预付工资的虚假工作机会,通常以加密货币支付,也仍然司空见惯。 Fake job offers requiring upfront payments, often in cryptocurrency, also remain common. 监察员敦促谨慎行事,建议人们通过金融行为管理局的核对器核查公司,避免未经要求的报价,并通过官方渠道确认联系细节。 The ombudsman urges caution, advising people to verify firms via the Financial Conduct Authority’s checker, avoid unsolicited offers, and confirm contact details through official channels. 受害者可以通过监察员服务寻求自由公正的帮助。 Victims can seek free, impartial help through the ombudsman’s service.
