UK: CONSULTATION OF PREVENTING THE USE OF SIM CARDS FOR FRAUD

On 3 May, the Home Office launched a consultation on the banning of the manufacture, import, sale, hire and possession of “SIM farms” – devices that can hold multiple SIM cards, and which are used to send scam texts, run scam call campaigns, and/or post misleading, false or phishing messages on social media in bulk.  The consultation runs to 14 June.
