Curious that it was only an easily ignored piece of paper, though. Not even a short chat as to "how sure are you that you are withdrawing this lump of cash for a legitimate purpose"?
- pwg 3y agoAgreed, the bank /should/ have tried harder to point out the possibility for a 'scam' occurring here (and of course this would eventually evolve into a discussion of "how much is sufficient"). But the article does admit that the bank did warn her, she just ignored the warning (and I don't recall her saying why she ignored the warning on the sheet of paper).
- prawn 3y agoWasn't the scammer on a live call in her pocket, listening in? In which case, a warning on paper might've been the best way to secretly convey the message. And also give her something tangible to review at multiple times before the money was handed over?
