Stop Scams UK Hits Major Milestone in Fraud Fight

Stop Scams UK announced a major milestone in the UK’s fight against fraud.

 

This marks the first time every mobile network operator #MNO has joined the cross-sector partnership alongside 99.7% of UK retail banks and major global tech platforms. 

Key developments include: 

➡️ Full Industry Coverage: Every UK consumer now benefits from at least one Stop Scams UK member, enabling coordinated detection and disruption of scam activity across telecoms, banking, and tech; 

➡️ Cross-Sector Intelligence Sharing: Fraud intelligence is now collected from telecoms firms, enriched, and shared across industries, allowing scam journeys to be blocked before harm occurs; and 

➡️ Collaborative Milestone: Senior leaders from banking, telecoms, and tech met with the Governor of the Bank of England and the Fraud Minister to mark this step toward unified fraud prevention. 

✅ Firms should strengthen participation in cross-sector intelligence sharing and align internal fraud prevention strategies with the Stop Scams UK collaborative model.
