Re: Weiters scammed

Banks would transfer the money to a holding account with one transaction internally not expect him to withdrawal it every week. That would be a give away it was dodgy.Jacob is a sensible young bloke but I'm still surprised he fell for a scam like this without checking at his local branch face to face and having that first transaction validated.Young people seem more busy and trusting with paying money, I see it with my own kids and have to remind them to be careful.
He obviously didn't know the procedure and was sucked in by the supposed validity of the callers. If you read his detailed account in the interview he did with Hamish Mac, you can see how he was duped. Point is, the banks should monitor and check on strange transactions by their clients and ask the question.
