National Crime Agency – SARs update

The National Crime Agency (UK Financial Intelligence Unit) has published their latest edition of SARs in Action. This issue covers several current risks and trends, including:

  • the rise in payment diversion fraud in property sales where victims are losing an average of £82,000
  • company impersonation fraud using well‑known accountancy brand names, and
  • increasing threats linked to crypto investment scams.

It also features insight on money laundering risks within social housing, an update from recent CARIN Steering Group meetings, practical advice in the “Ask the UKFIU” section, and two case studies showing how SAR intelligence supports law enforcement.
