Rocio Concha, Which? director of policy and advocacy, said: "Number spoofing is a particularly malicious form of fraud used by scammers to deceive their victims - and our research shows some banks could potentially be leaving their customers at risk."Ī spokesperson for trade association UK Finance said: "Protecting customers from fraud is a top priority for the finance industry which is why we are actively working with the regulator Ofcom to help crack down on number spoofing. Reporting on the findings, Liverpool Echo said that Ofcom recently strengthened its rules and guidance to require telephone networks involved in transmitting calls - either to mobiles or landlines - to identify and block spoofed calls, where technically feasible, making it harder for scammers to use spoofed numbers. A previous Which? survey among fraud victims found that of those who were initially approached by either phone or text, two-thirds (68%) said the incident involved number spoofing. The not-for-profit group said that at least one phone number from HSBC, Lloyds Bank, Santander, TSB, Nationwide Building Society and Virgin Money was successfully spoofed.
