Authorised Push Payment Scams 

Authorised Push Payment scams are when a scammer poses as a genuine company (maybe a supplier you often deal with) and tricks you into sending money to them from your account. They'll do so by tricking you into believing they are someone from a legitimate business, for example, your utility provider, a retailer, a government department or a bank. Proceeds from such scams often go to funding illicit acts that cause further damage.
