Aviva welcomes the introduction of the Online Safety Bill
Welcoming the introduction of the Online Safety Bill in Parliament (17 March 2022), Rob Lee, Fraud Prevention Director, Aviva, said:
“Online fraud has undermined consumer trust in financial services, and put millions of people at risk of falling victim to scam adverts and fraudulent promotions online. Aviva has long called for greater consumer protection from online fraud by urging government to include financial scams promoted by paid-for adverts in the scope of the Online Safety Bill – which the government added to the Bill last week.
“We welcome the draft legislation, and will be reviewing it in detail to ensure that it lives up to the Government’s aim for the UK to be the safest country in the world to be online. This legislation could not be more urgent, as it comes at a time of significant increases in the cost of living and increased financial stress – and we know that fraudsters target and exploit people with low financial resilience.”
