star this property answer text <p>Fraud is designated a priority offence under the Online Safety Act (OSA), meaning companies will be held to account if they fail to remove illegal content on their platforms. This is expected to have a strong impact on some of the highest harm fraud types, such as online purchase, investment and romance scams, as well as key fraud enablers such as the recruitment and use of money mules.</p><p>However, the OSA will take time to come into force. Therefore, the Government has also created the Online Fraud Charter: a voluntary agreement bringing together the largest companies in the tech sector, who have committed to a series of actions aimed at reducing fraud on their platforms and services. The Charter was signed on 30 November, and will deliver a much quicker and more targeted response than regulation: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/online-fraud-charter-2023" target="_blank">Online Fraud Charter - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)</a>.</p><p>Tackling cyber crime is at the heart of the Government’s <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-cyber-strategy-2022" target="_blank">National Cyber Strategy</a> 2022-25, which is supported by £2.6 billion of investment through the National Cyber Fund.</p><p>As part of the Criminal Justice Bill, we are also introducing a new power for law enforcement and other investigative agencies to act to suspend IP addresses and domain names where they are being used for a criminal activity with a link to the UK.</p>

The Metropolitan Police Service is represented on the Working Group.</p><p>A network of vehicle crime leads has been established in every police force in England and Wales, ensuring forces share information about emerging trends in vehicle crime and are better able to tackle regional issues.</p><p>We are legislating through the Criminal Justice Bill to create two new offences where a person possesses, makes, adapts, supplies or offers to supply electronic devices where there are reasonable grounds to suspect they will be used in vehicle theft. The legislation will make it easier for police to prosecute criminals making and supplying these devices, as well as vehicle thieves.</p>
