Weiters scammed

[ElwoodBlues1]

Does the bank have some responsibility here? I realise Weiters himself transferred the money but I was thinking yesterday that he stated he transferred the max daily limit out of multiple accounts for a week. You'd think the banks monitors this stuff and could have contacted him to say "Hi Jacob, we noticed you're transferring the max limit out of multiple accounts everyday, is it intentional and is everything ok?" I'm sure that would have rung some alarm bells earlier.

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.
