Banks never ask you to move your funds. Especially when the account is held by another bank. When you get text messages like that always call the bank using the phone number on the website. It is not the bank’s responsibility - you have to be vigilant.

Screw the banks. They should be doing more. I understand there's a difference between being conned and being vigilant' it shouldn't have happened of course. All the same a horrible story.

Sounds unbelievable? Are you kidding, that’s the oldest scam ever!

@sriramcan 7 месяцев назад

why would anyone park all the funds in a single bank account !

@trevhedges 7 месяцев назад

Any COLD CALLS or texts or anything, you directly contact your bank!, never use the information they provide! Banks do not cold call, the scammers prey on you believing them as they have good details.. your details are available everywhere!

I hope they get justice feel for them they are just kids really.

Why didn't they just call the bank number on the official website or on the back of their cards?

@wascawywabbit0987 Год назад

For the life of me, I cannot see why your bank would be texting you in the first place. My bank has NEVER texted me.

I could barely understand the guys story. Anyone else felt the same?

I’m in Australia myself we get told daily do not click on links etc before passing any details over to anyone double check if this is legit by your bank I feel sorry for these couple if I could stand on a street ask for donations in Sydney I would help them get back what they have lost I would help them in a heart beat I bet I do more then what the banks would do good luck guys hope the bank gives you more then $3000
