One of her kids was sick. People in a state of alarm believe other warnings that confirm their fear. It’s normal human psychology. Unfortunately it’s our weakness. That’s why it worked before and always will.
If someone rings you claiming to be from a bank, insurance company, or whatever, hang up straight away and call the organisation. Also on line. I am always getting dodgy emails from people to be my bank,insurance company, I'm not insured by the way, I know scammers are getting cleverer but pay attention!

This is ridiculous. She was stupid for going into the bank and not trusting legit bank staff that were RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER in a BRANCH but instead she trusted a voice on the phone. No bank will tell you to transfer your own money to an another account.
@@M_SC so going into a branch and lying to them so you can move your money into a fraudsters account is NORMAL? She trusted a scammer over the phone rather than bank staff in the branch. Her low level of intelligence is shocking. And so is yours if you think she isn't partly to blame for this.
@@Beeee185 Are we really to believe that this lady had £436,000 just sitting there in an instant access account with Lloyds Bank waiting to be transferred out? It has been suggested in comments that this may be money from an inheritance or house sale, but even so just leaving it there in a current account paying zero interest or an instant access savings account paying peanuts in interest defies belief.
@@user-xu5vl5th9n I've never heard of that before. That's so horribly devious. It must make it even more difficult for genuine victims of fraud to be believed. What a world we live in 😔
I feel very empathetic for this lady losing all that money, it must be absolutely devastating. But how many times do people have to be told that banks will NEVER call or text them out of the blue and ask them to move their money, let alone telling them not to query it with any of the staff at the bank. So many alarm bells in this case, but the bank should have done much more to check the validity of a transaction this size.

@@Ben-xe8psit all sounds highly suspect.. the fact she said she got coached..i think she might have been in on it.. get the refund plus a cut of the original withdrawal.. maybe she was in a position where she could not pay the bills but had the capital
Whenever I move money or pay into an account other than my list of "trusted accounts" a warning message comes up (on the banking site) which says something like "Are you sure you're not being scammed? Read these handy tips about scammer techniques before clicking the final submit button"
@@sensimania Agreed. But it appears that she did not make this transfer herself (it would have been over the faster payments limit anyway) but went into a Lloyds Bank branch and gave the instructions in person to the staff responding to any questions that they may have asked her by repeating the lies that she had been instructed to tell them. However, I still find it difficult to believe that she had £436,000 just sitting there in an instant access account with Lloyds Bank waiting to be transferred out. If she really did have £436,000 on deposit with Lloyds Bank they would have been all over her trying to get her to come into a branch to be upgraded to Private Banking and/or get investment advice. Also, the video states that it looked as if the text she received was from her 'card provider'. What sort of card? Why refer to the bank with which she held her account as a 'card provider'?
Stupidity shouldn't be compensated. Dark thought, but I feel like she's the involved insider. Maybe she needs investigating. How can you be that trusting? Mind blowing. 🤯
On what planet does a bank require you to move money around? They can (and do) freeze your account at the click of a button! I understand if someone very elderly or with cognition issues gets caught, but this woman is clearly neither of those. I read about this scam every day, how has it escaped her?

Don't ever try to solve such case solo. No matter how educated you are, isolating youself is direct way to get on hook. Call family, friends, bank, police before you even step out of house.
I agree that’s a lot of money to fall for a basic scam. Banks constantly warn us of fraud these days too. I think she tried to pull a fast one on the bank to get money. She seems disingenuous to me just my opinion.
For years, the advice has been if you receive an email or text (or even phone call) about your money, contact the financial institution directly to confirm the problem. I feel terrible for this lady, but it's a well known scam.
use a different phone to call your bank, scammers will keep the line open so you are re connected to them and a different scammer will answer as if they are your bank.
@@NettiieB So awful. How on earth do these scammers always seem to be one step ahead of everyone else? 🤔 These are very sophisticated, cunning techniques. I detest scammers with a passion.
@@rabbitsonjupiter6824 Yes same here, very suspicious that they knew she had a large sum of money . If you can even trust the bank staff it's very worrying.
Sorry not the banks fault, people need to take some responsibility for themselves. Transfer nothing, banks will never ask you to….its not that hard people.
How many times do people need telling - the bank is capable of moving your money to another account. It doesn’t need you to take a strangers word with stories of a sting by police into a crook in your bank. If someone is a crook, they are suspended pending an investigation and can no longer enter bank premises or have access to bank systems.
*mad respect for him.. i can't even imagine the physical and emotional toll this challenge would put on a person.* *no doubt this is the best pro on youtube!!! ❤️* *Been watching STRONGWIDGET for about 2 years now and to see his growth is still good to accept, hes so humble and normal its almost like hes been on UA-cam his whole life*
No actual bank will ask you to move your funds. Makes no sense. Besides if that happens, ain't you supposed to go to the bank to sign documents for that to happen?
Why is it her fault? If she were robbed in person would it be her fault? The simple fact is that it is the thieves' *AND* the bank's fault. Why? Well these so called scams are psychological abuse. They threaten the people with something scary ie losing their money, just as a highway man would threaten people with a gun to the face. Mentally vulnerable people might harm themselves after being robbed like this. Have you considered that? Gone are the times when we ignore the power of verbal manipulation. This lady was distracted by her sick child. How can it be her fault? Did she ask to be contacted by a worthless thief? The reason why the bank is at fault, IMHO, is because it should not be possible for anyone to clear out their entire account (assuming they have a significant amount of money in it) remotely. That should be something that they have to go into the bank to do and the bank should be able to verify the location of the receiving account and that it is legitimate. The fact that this doesn't appear to be in place is absolutely ridiculous, especially given that this kind of scam has been going on for a long time. Years even. It's just more evidence of the laziness and stupidity corrupting all sectors. People want to get paid but they don't want to do a decent job. Why haven't the banks put rules in place to prevent this? Also it makes no sense for a private individual to defend banks because they push us to use online banking so the executives can cut down on the cost of renting high street space and employing people at local bank branches, all to line their own pockets, but online banking is detrimental to vulnerable people and puts everyone at risk. Long distance theft ie people robbing you from a completely different country when they used to at least have to risk their personal safety robbing people in person, has increased exponentially to the point that it is a major industry in places like India (where they even scam their own fellow countrymen). These people set up call centres and employ graduates who can't find work elsewhere to take money out of our local economy to fund theirs. It's so known that there have been television programs about scamming. In one such show a man said that he had even forced, by threats and manipulation, a single mother who was crying and begging, to send his organisation the only few dollar she had left to feed her children. These people are demons. It's not the victim's fault.
She went to the branch and must have explained what's going on. They actioned her request. That's why they gave her compensation. They was at fault aswel.
There has to be more going on in her head for her to do something so stupid….she said she was distracted cause her kid was sick. How’d she make £400,000 in the first place ?
I feel so sorry for this poor lady. It's tempting to think that we wouldn't be fooled as she was, but the report says that her child was sick and she was distracted. Surely anyone can have a moment when they aren't thinking straight. The -scammers- *thieves* are the only people to at fault. They purposely target single parents and elders. A similar situation happened to one of my cousins. It was just after payday and she was left with nothing to feed her young children after emptying her account just like this. This is why we should really resist online banking. In former times a thief had to actually rob the bank in person and the money stayed in the local economy. Now these people are overseas mostly in India and Nigeria stealing not only from individuals but the entire economy. They purposely target people in Western Europe and the USA.
This is a well known scam. If she had called her bank directly, they would have told her the same. Online banking just allows you to do the transfer easily yourself. If you transfer thousands just based on a text message, that's not very intelligent.
It's not like £30,000,000,000 of Taxpayers money spent on Track & Trace aren't unaccounted. Michelle Mone and all the other unscrupulous offshore tory donater have joined the chat.
banks dont call you and ask you to move money....why not just hang up and call and find out how this happened...scamming stories have been shared so often she is not elderly.
@141Lav exactly, plus she did go into the branch. Yet they still actioned the request. She must have explained what she had been told. That's why they gave her some refund. So even going to branch your not entirely safe
@@boxer786ful So just don’t do it at all. Don’t transfer money into any other account just keep using your bank account as normal. If you are suspicious then call your bank and if you think they are scanning hang up and just go to the cashpoint. I don’t know any other way around it!
@@boxer786ful They're not hacked. They simply don't hang up, and when you use the same phone you're back onto the scammers. It ain't rocket science to use another phone, or go to the bank. Or, just leave it about twenty minutes and the line then clears itself, and THEN phone the ACTUAL bank using a number you get from the banks website.

Yeah this is her fault, she should have gone to the bank and questioned it first. No bank will text a customer and tell them their money is in an unsafe place!!! Someone tried to buy something from Amazon for £500 in Ireland but my bank texted me to let me know and I declined the transaction.
Be careful with those texts as well. They can spoof any number and will text you with a "did you authorize this?" message, you reply back No, then they call you with a spoofed id of the bank/Amazon/whatever and that leads into trying to scam you.
Why would a bank ask you to move money into another bank account you don’t know? Cmon now . In fact I’ve never heard of a legitimate bank to tell a customer to move their fund, it just never happens. Don’t use the excuse ‘my child was sick at the time so I wasn’t thinking’. It’s common sense especially moving £400k, like do you’re proper checks before ever transferring that much SMH Although the only thing that’s shocking is the bank not questioning like…
What I cannot understand is why if a person is convinced that their accouint is compromised, why not move the money to a different account of their own? Your one step ahead of everyone then. UK National Savings is good to deal with for instance, or maybe a second account at a different bank, or whatever.
Tragic but surely it should of been too obvious, she should of known instantly, how do people fool for this such obvious scams? Even when it’s obvious. When does a bank ask you to transfer money into another account? Never.
She was also told to visit her local bank to transfer the money to the scammers account. Why wouldn't she mention anything to her local bank? the suspicious text and the suspicious way the call centre handled her call.
These scammers are clever. This is their job, 5/6 days a week, 8 hours a day. After you've done your 100th call, you likely get pretty quick on your feet and convincing.
If you receive a scam call and want to speak to your bank you should pull out the cable from the phone socket (if they're calling to a landline) and wait a few minutes before reconnecting it to make sure your not connected to the scammer or contact the bank using a mobile. If they phone you on a mobile call the bank on another mobile or use a landline. Having said that, we are repeatedly told that banks will never phone you and instruct you to move money to a so-called safe account!
I want to feel sorry for her but how on earth can someone be so stupid! Her mentioning her sick child is her way out of her accountability or it’s purely a scam she is part of
She only has herself to blame. Going to her physical bank, making a money transfer to a safe account and NOT telling the banking staff as they may be in on it is crazy.
All the people in the comments blaming the victim are likely to be victims when they are old or in an emotional state. Because they think it can’t happen to them
If you even receive a questionable text or email from your bank, get a screenshot and send it to the bank's Twitter, asking if it's genuine. That's what I always do, and I can confirm it's saved me from financial ruin.
It's very sad. But the bank is not at fault and shouldn't be held liable IMHO. She didn't contact her bank herself, but willingly chose to believe strangers emailing her and talking to her on the phone. Also, who keeps that much money in a bank and not invested?
I just gotta say as a 29 yr old veteran in computer science, you guys rock. Thank you so much for helping these scammed folks keep their hard earned savings. God Bless!

One of her kids was sick. People in a state of alarm believe other warnings that confirm their fear. It’s normal human psychology. Unfortunately it’s our weakness. That’s why it worked before and always will.
Very good indeed
@@M_SCdon't believe everything a person says.. she paid enough attention to get coached by the scammers.. she sounds like she was in on it
If someone rings you claiming to be from a bank, insurance company, or whatever, hang up straight away and call the organisation. Also on line. I am always getting dodgy emails from people to be my bank,insurance company, I'm not insured by the way, I know scammers are getting cleverer but pay attention!
How can someone be so brain dead and have 400k at the same time?

This is ridiculous. She was stupid for going into the bank and not trusting legit bank staff that were RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER in a BRANCH but instead she trusted a voice on the phone. No bank will tell you to transfer your own money to an another account.
It’s actually quite normal, it happens over and over and over. Blaming the victim is your intellectual blindness and emotional self soothing
@@M_SC so going into a branch and lying to them so you can move your money into a fraudsters account is NORMAL? She trusted a scammer over the phone rather than bank staff in the branch. Her low level of intelligence is shocking. And so is yours if you think she isn't partly to blame for this.
@@M_SCa person needs to take responsibility for their own failurea, she failed to protect her families money
@@M_SC it's called accountability.
@@Beeee185 Are we really to believe that this lady had £436,000 just sitting there in an instant access account with Lloyds Bank waiting to be transferred out? It has been suggested in comments that this may be money from an inheritance or house sale, but even so just leaving it there in a current account paying zero interest or an instant access savings account paying peanuts in interest defies belief.
Another scam is where somebody is in on the fraud poses as a victim to claim compensation from the bank. That is what makes this difficult for banks.
@@user-xu5vl5th9n I've never heard of that before. That's so horribly devious. It must make it even more difficult for genuine victims of fraud to be believed. What a world we live in 😔
She really couldnt ask herself “if I can’t trust my bank and I’m being told to move it elsewhere, why I’m I even with them” 🤦🏾♂️
Very true
I feel very empathetic for this lady losing all that money, it must be absolutely devastating.
But how many times do people have to be told that banks will NEVER call or text them out of the blue and ask them to move their money, let alone telling them not to query it with any of the staff at the bank. So many alarm bells in this case, but the bank should have done much more to check the validity of a transaction this size.
People know lots of things but in an emotional state can’t access that information. It’s why people occasionally forget their keys

@@Ben-xe8psit all sounds highly suspect.. the fact she said she got coached..i think she might have been in on it.. get the refund plus a cut of the original withdrawal.. maybe she was in a position where she could not pay the bills but had the capital
Whenever I move money or pay into an account other than my list of "trusted accounts" a warning message comes up (on the banking site) which says something like "Are you sure you're not being scammed? Read these handy tips about scammer techniques before clicking the final submit button"
@@sensimania Agreed. But it appears that she did not make this transfer herself (it would have been over the faster payments limit anyway) but went into a Lloyds Bank branch and gave the instructions in person to the staff responding to any questions that they may have asked her by repeating the lies that she had been instructed to tell them.
However, I still find it difficult to believe that she had £436,000 just sitting there in an instant access account with Lloyds Bank waiting to be transferred out. If she really did have £436,000 on deposit with Lloyds Bank they would have been all over her trying to get her to come into a branch to be upgraded to Private Banking and/or get investment advice.
Also, the video states that it looked as if the text she received was from her 'card provider'. What sort of card? Why refer to the bank with which she held her account as a 'card provider'?
Stupidity shouldn't be compensated. Dark thought, but I feel like she's the involved insider. Maybe she needs investigating. How can you be that trusting? Mind blowing. 🤯
On what planet does a bank require you to move money around? They can (and do) freeze your account at the click of a button! I understand if someone very elderly or with cognition issues gets caught, but this woman is clearly neither of those. I read about this scam every day, how has it escaped her?

Imagine being so naive that you believe another person would ever contact you to help.
Don't ever try to solve such case solo. No matter how educated you are, isolating youself is direct way to get on hook. Call family, friends, bank, police before you even step out of house.
Now THIS is good advice
What if she was working with the scammers .i don’t believe her
Yeah, probably a part of the reason she had that much in a random account (i.e not tied up in shares or investments) in the first place.
@@RustyShackleford66not everyone has shares and investments.
exactly my thought. Split the profit (with the "scammer") if the bank is responsible for returning the money. Easy money.
I agree that’s a lot of money to fall for a basic scam. Banks constantly warn us of fraud these days too. I think she tried to pull a fast one on the bank to get money. She seems disingenuous to me just my opinion.
Yes, I'm not convinced that it is genuine, it does seem to me that she is reading from a script.
I’m waiting for scammers to scam me but to no avail. Maybe because I’m penniless. I don’t know. I give up!
I’ve been scammed. Even made me pay for the wedding day 😂
@@RevealedFilms😂😂
Lmao! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's not the bank's fault why on earth should they pay?
For years, the advice has been if you receive an email or text (or even phone call) about your money, contact the financial institution directly to confirm the problem. I feel terrible for this lady, but it's a well known scam.
wow she is a clown, when they phone you, put phone down, grab card phone number on card, job done.
use a different phone to call your bank, scammers will keep the line open so you are re connected to them and a different scammer will answer as if they are your bank.
@@NettiieB So awful. How on earth do these scammers always seem to be one step ahead of everyone else? 🤔 These are very sophisticated, cunning techniques. I detest scammers with a passion.
@@rabbitsonjupiter6824 Yes same here, very suspicious that they knew she had a large sum of money . If you can even trust the bank staff it's very worrying.
I have £20 in my account, why arent criminals calling me?
How do these scammers even know how much money is in someones account?
Bank tellers, customer service representatives in the bank who get to look at people’s accounts are probably in on it and get kickbacks.
Because you will tell them.
@@burmesepython393 I was thinking about this as well, that's why cash is king
Because u are a bum u broke ! Why would a scammer want to call a broke poss smfh 😒😒
This seems like a very obvious scam. She is proposing that the loss is socialised amongst all other customers of the bank.
No! The bank makes so much profit
How can you fall for that? You got to be naive.

@@M_SC you’re not very good at gaslighting. Try again.

@@Gwenzzzfrifz only the naïve people who need growing up fall for this. I’m guessing you’re one of them.
or in on it???
Sorry not the banks fault, people need to take some responsibility for themselves. Transfer nothing, banks will never ask you to….its not that hard people.
Yep, completely agree. You can always ask people at the bank or over the phone if your unsure.
How many times do people need telling - the bank is capable of moving your money to another account. It doesn’t need you to take a strangers word with stories of a sting by police into a crook in your bank. If someone is a crook, they are suspended pending an investigation and can no longer enter bank premises or have access to bank systems.

No actual bank will ask you to move your funds. Makes no sense. Besides if that happens, ain't you supposed to go to the bank to sign documents for that to happen?

Really, pay back the full amount. Then people will take no responsibility for their actions.
Her own fualt, not the bank😅
Sad but not the bank fault
Why is it her fault? If she were robbed in person would it be her fault? The simple fact is that it is the thieves' *AND* the bank's fault.
Why?
Well these so called scams are psychological abuse. They threaten the people with something scary ie losing their money, just as a highway man would threaten people with a gun to the face. Mentally vulnerable people might harm themselves after being robbed like this. Have you considered that? Gone are the times when we ignore the power of verbal manipulation.
This lady was distracted by her sick child. How can it be her fault? Did she ask to be contacted by a worthless thief?
The reason why the bank is at fault, IMHO, is because it should not be possible for anyone to clear out their entire account (assuming they have a significant amount of money in it) remotely. That should be something that they have to go into the bank to do and the bank should be able to verify the location of the receiving account and that it is legitimate. The fact that this doesn't appear to be in place is absolutely ridiculous, especially given that this kind of scam has been going on for a long time. Years even. It's just more evidence of the laziness and stupidity corrupting all sectors. People want to get paid but they don't want to do a decent job. Why haven't the banks put rules in place to prevent this?
Also it makes no sense for a private individual to defend banks because they push us to use online banking so the executives can cut down on the cost of renting high street space and employing people at local bank branches, all to line their own pockets, but online banking is detrimental to vulnerable people and puts everyone at risk.
Long distance theft ie people robbing you from a completely different country when they used to at least have to risk their personal safety robbing people in person, has increased exponentially to the point that it is a major industry in places like India (where they even scam their own fellow countrymen). These people set up call centres and employ graduates who can't find work elsewhere to take money out of our local economy to fund theirs. It's so known that there have been television programs about scamming. In one such show a man said that he had even forced, by threats and manipulation, a single mother who was crying and begging, to send his organisation the only few dollar she had left to feed her children.
These people are demons. It's not the victim's fault.
She went to the branch and must have explained what's going on. They actioned her request. That's why they gave her compensation. They was at fault aswel.
@@boxer786fulShe lied to the bank staff because she believed some dude on the phone that she didn’t know and never met.
@@boxer786ful As much as I hate big banking, they are NOT responsible for the idiocy of their customers.
@bobjames6622 it wouldn't have been as straightforward as they making it out. They will be missing out key parts of the scam so people don't copy.
There has to be more going on in her head for her to do something so stupid….she said she was distracted cause her kid was sick.
How’d she make £400,000 in the first place ?
Probably inheritance .
She may have recently sold a property… many ways to have such money!!! Come on now
I would wager that there is never ANYTHING going on in her head, except whistling wind and tumbleweed! LOL!
How did the bank let her withdraw that much or to send it into another account without checks
I feel so sorry for this poor lady. It's tempting to think that we wouldn't be fooled as she was, but the report says that her child was sick and she was distracted. Surely anyone can have a moment when they aren't thinking straight. The -scammers- *thieves* are the only people to at fault. They purposely target single parents and elders.
A similar situation happened to one of my cousins. It was just after payday and she was left with nothing to feed her young children after emptying her account just like this.
This is why we should really resist online banking. In former times a thief had to actually rob the bank in person and the money stayed in the local economy. Now these people are overseas mostly in India and Nigeria stealing not only from individuals but the entire economy. They purposely target people in Western Europe and the USA.
I wouldn't be fooled by that. Then again, I'm not an empty headed moron.
how do u know that she was a single parent
This is a well known scam. If she had called her bank directly, they would have told her the same. Online banking just allows you to do the transfer easily yourself. If you transfer thousands just based on a text message, that's not very intelligent.
It's not like £30,000,000,000 of Taxpayers money spent on Track & Trace aren't unaccounted. Michelle Mone and all the other unscrupulous offshore tory donater have joined the chat.
I’m sorry, she went into a bank to do the transfer, she’s thick as they come
My heart breaks out for scammed victims…. 😭
There is a special place in hell for ALL scammers of the world !
Why she has half milion in her account, i think she is on the scam
it was awful xDDDD
banks dont call you and ask you to move money....why not just hang up and call and find out how this happened...scamming stories have been shared so often she is not elderly.
maybe she was in on the scam.. the way she's talking and "crying" is very fake
My bank has sent out warnings to call them if anyone calls to ask you to transfer or move your money!!
Well, you do know phones have been hacked. So when you ring your bank, it diverts to the scammers. Scammers are sophisticated.
@@boxer786ful Okay in that case you should go into the branch then that’s if you can find one because they’re all closing down.
@141Lav exactly, plus she did go into the branch. Yet they still actioned the request. She must have explained what she had been told. That's why they gave her some refund. So even going to branch your not entirely safe
@@boxer786ful So just don’t do it at all. Don’t transfer money into any other account just keep using your bank account as normal. If you are suspicious then call your bank and if you think they are scanning hang up and just go to the cashpoint. I don’t know any other way around it!
@@boxer786ful They're not hacked. They simply don't hang up, and when you use the same phone you're back onto the scammers. It ain't rocket science to use another phone, or go to the bank. Or, just leave it about twenty minutes and the line then clears itself, and THEN phone the ACTUAL bank using a number you get from the banks website.

If 99% of frauds are covered by the 85k limit then banks can easily cover the extra 1%.
Yeah this is her fault, she should have gone to the bank and questioned it first. No bank will text a customer and tell them their money is in an unsafe place!!! Someone tried to buy something from Amazon for £500 in Ireland but my bank texted me to let me know and I declined the transaction.
Be careful with those texts as well. They can spoof any number and will text you with a "did you authorize this?" message, you reply back No, then they call you with a spoofed id of the bank/Amazon/whatever and that leads into trying to scam you.
Zero common sense. It's her own fault
Not at all. How illogical. Your logic means that the physically weak deserve to be physically attacked.
Why would a bank ask you to move money into another bank account you don’t know? Cmon now .
In fact I’ve never heard of a legitimate bank to tell a customer to move their fund, it just never happens.
Don’t use the excuse ‘my child was sick at the time so I wasn’t thinking’.
It’s common sense especially moving £400k, like do you’re proper checks before ever transferring that much SMH
Although the only thing that’s shocking is the bank not questioning like…
dying to be scammed....stop blaming the bank
What I cannot understand is why if a person is convinced that their accouint is compromised, why not move the money to a different account of their own? Your one step ahead of everyone then. UK National Savings is good to deal with for instance, or maybe a second account at a different bank, or whatever.
The reason for that is very simple. You're using logic and common sense, and most people are bereft of those two skills.
These scammers are very good, and they keep up the pressure on these people so they don't have time to think. And they're scared.
Yes, but every time a customer moves £1.50 the banks AI bot will scream "COULD THIS BE A SCAM?"
Brave lady, well done to help others with her story.
I don't think banks r responsible
How could she be so ....
I hope you get scammed to find out...
Any transaction over $10,000 should require a person to physically visit the bank.
Tragic but surely it should of been too obvious, she should of known instantly, how do people fool for this such obvious scams? Even when it’s obvious. When does a bank ask you to transfer money into another account? Never.
She was also told to visit her local bank to transfer the money to the scammers account. Why wouldn't she mention anything to her local bank? the suspicious text and the suspicious way the call centre handled her call.
When people is constantly living in a status of depression, distraction, etc, their intelligence/ discernment will be impaired. Feel sorry for her.
@@mahuanhit Then you're clearly as soft in the head as she was.

These scammers are clever. This is their job, 5/6 days a week, 8 hours a day. After you've done your 100th call, you likely get pretty quick on your feet and convincing.
Obviously not the fizziest drink in the fridge, thick as mince springs to mind!
We need a proper consumer protection body in this country. One that genuinely puts consumers first.
If anyone calls saying this sort of thing just say “no thank you goodbye”, or texts just delete.
If you receive a scam call and want to speak to your bank you should pull out the cable from the phone socket (if they're calling to a landline) and wait a few minutes before reconnecting it to make sure your not connected to the scammer or contact the bank using a mobile. If they phone you on a mobile call the bank on another mobile or use a landline.
Having said that, we are repeatedly told that banks will never phone you and instruct you to move money to a so-called safe account!
I want to feel sorry for her but how on earth can someone be so stupid! Her mentioning her sick child is her way out of her accountability or it’s purely a scam she is part of
No, it’s explaining normal human psychology
She only has herself to blame. Going to her physical bank, making a money transfer to a safe account and NOT telling the banking staff as they may be in on it is crazy.
just be thankful they arent Aussie banks because it will be totally 10000% your fault

If banks are not party to a fraud and are not negligent
Banks should not be required to compensate bank fraud victims.
All the people in the comments blaming the victim are likely to be victims when they are old or in an emotional state. Because they think it can’t happen to them
If you even receive a questionable text or email from your bank, get a screenshot and send it to the bank's Twitter, asking if it's genuine. That's what I always do, and I can confirm it's saved me from financial ruin.
It's very sad. But the bank is not at fault and shouldn't be held liable IMHO. She didn't contact her bank herself, but willingly chose to believe strangers emailing her and talking to her on the phone. Also, who keeps that much money in a bank and not invested?
Always call your bank, credit card etc. Never trust a call that comes in.
Banks will only send mail they will never contact you by telephone-people musnt read the small print on the letters.
