      Combank fraud centre called and then texted me when I started transferring money to another bank. When I didn't respond they reversed the transfer and locked me out, which I didn't mind, then they texted me again telling me to call the number in the message. I called it, got the voice menu and eventually to a section where it asked me to enter my client number and password (may have been tekebanking password), before I got to actually speak to anyone. That's when I hung up and called the number on their Web site, which was the same routine (the text was genuine but it can never be trusted). I didn't provide a client id or password the second time either and still got to a human and they unlocked access without that info.
      No wonder people are confused when the banks can't see that what they're doing is exactly what scammers can do.

    If a bank rings you up and says ‘your account has been compromised’ my logic would be that it’s their problem to sort it.

Where would the scammers have found these people’s details, if not by getting into the banks’ system, which obviously has flaws. Interesting that one of them is a smaller bank and not one of the big four, suggesting the smaller bank doesn’t use same level of expensive I.T. as larger banks. Two people who replied to my comment probably work for one of these smaller banks.
