Because the dude authorized the wire. The bank didn’t screw up. Why would the bank be responsible?

A coworkers brother fell for the Microsoft support popup. He called the number and they told him they found c*ild p*rn and brought in an "FBI Agent." This guy told him they knew he didnt do it but unless he worked with them to catch the real predator he would be responsible. He couldn't tell anybody because the perpetrator could even be a close family member. Of course it went from there to convincing him to buy bitcoin and transfer it god knows where. It cost him about 30k before he wised up.

I don’t think I said they are responsible. I’m simply asking why an account holder can’t dispute the transfer as one would a fraudulent charge?

They are right there in Lagos or Hyderabad, should be east to find.

I hear you…it does suck. But unfortunately it wasn’t an unauthorized charge. What I don’t understand is why the money can’t be tracked. It went into an account that is known. I guess there’s a web of stolen identities and hijacked accounts that money gets moved as soon as it hit the account.

I don't know how they do it, but a lot of old people lose a lot of IQ with age.

In a just world, scammers would die of incurable unstoppable violent diarrhea.

Zero you can do this once a wire is sent. Gonzo.
Why don’t receiving banks have a 1-3 business day hold on wire transfers and limits on Bitcoin or digital currency purchases.
Heck I can’t withdraw more than 500 dollars a day at an ATM or withdraw more than 5k in cash without suspicion.

Hi long ago did it happen? More than 48 hrs? FBI can freeze transfer if noticed within 48 hrs of sending
The FBI wouldn’t even take the call over 10K. Our company got scammed out of 45K on wire. I called the local FBI office and they directed me to a website to fill out a report. I never heard from them again.

He needs to push back. The bank will make him whole…he just needs to not take no for an answer.

What’s really scary and abominable are the people who clone the voices of kids and grandkids to scam parents/grandparents.

A well known author in Florida, wrote a novel about 20 years ago about a bad guy scamming his mother out of end of life savings. Bad guy was tracked down and in the closing pages was staked out on an island oyster reef with land crabs chewing on his fingers and toes while the tide was rising allowing a croc to swim to him. Perfect ending for a scammer
