Critics have said such a move could embolden scammers but the government insists its proposal is a "balanced approach".

    I hate to say it, but I kinda agree with Zuck on that one even if it’s for a completely different reason. Particularly advance fee scams are often framed as some sort of reimbursement for scam victims, and you bet scammers will use this to legitimise their schemes.

    Wait who is funding the reimbursement? The platform? The bank? The tax prayer?
