I was mugged and forced to transfer money from my banking app - who should be helping me? DEAN DUNHAM

Daily Mail  

I was accosted in the street and forced to transfer £200 to my assailant’s bank account via my online banking app. Traumatic: A reader is being sent back and fourth between the police and her bank after she was accosted in the street and forced to transfer funds from her banking app Dean Dunham replies: New rules that came into effect on October 7 last year require banks to reimburse victims of APP fraud up to £85,000 within five working days, unless an exception applies. Authorised Push Payment fraud involves someone being tricked into sending money to a fraudster posing as a genuine payee. However, I think your bank has denied your claim as it has paid too close attention to the meaning of APP fraud.
