Is it impossible to prevent?
What types of entities are in a position to be most able to prevent fraud?
What kinds of interventions can mitigate fraud?

On this point we disagree. My viewpoint is one of "what entity has the most ability to do something about the problem". Yours is one of individual responsibility.
I would prefer the bank do something to protect my vulnerable grandma from doing something wrong to one where her mental decline and therefore her inability to comprehend her impending mistake is her responsibility.
- smeej 4y agoHow do you propose your bank tell the two situations apart that I mentioned? Your bank should not be considered the owner of your money. If you want to send your money somewhere, you should be able to do so because it belongs to you. If you later regret that decision, for any reason, you should certainly be able to request your money back from whomever received it, but why should the bank be the one to pay you back?
