Unwarranted concern for account fraud

2009-12-04 | Reports Consumer Bank

The concern for being victimised by account fraud is greatly unwarranted, according to FI’s survey of 2,898 private persons. The survey, conducted during 2008, found that an estimated 1 per cent of the adult population was defrauded that year. The majority, 84 per cent, of those with claims were fully or partially refunded. The expectations of being refunded were considerably lower, however.
