Yep.. they used a lot of power to stop those transactions. The sad thing is, these resources ARE available and could be utilized to stop millions.. if not billions of dollars from being stolen to other countries. Banks could have implemented simple algorithms years ago to detect unusual activity.. for example, the age of the bank owner (elders are more susceptible), the amount of the wire, wire history and the fact that it is being transferred overseas.. how about the age of the recipients bank… all this data could be shared with SWIFT so they can ensure peoples safety.. but they don’t do sht.
Boy, it's amazing when it's the police's money. They can recover every time of it. But if it's your money or my money, they'll tell you get in your money back as very unlikely. Isn't that some hypocrisy if i've ever seen it
Once the money gets moved to a different country, it's lost. If it can stopped here in the states, it may be recovered. For example, let's say your grandma was speaking to a guy who "Loved" her and she sends half her SSI check. She sends the money, 700, to an account that the scammer tricked another individual into opening, let's say the scammer tricked an retiree to open a Chase bank account to have it ready to get their "Stimulus Check of 2024" ready and that individual tricks the retiree to give up the routing and account number, so the scammer gives it to your grandma to write or wire funds to that account. The scammer would be looking over that account and as soon as the 700 gets deposited, they quickly get out to another account. Let's say it went from Grandma, the 700, to the chase account via a wire transfer, cash app and/money transfer apps, or a deposit at the bank, and the scammer has the chase account, withdraws the money to another account, via a check using the chase account, then once it's in that's account, they go to the ATM, withdraw the 700 and give it to somebody else in person in another city who can simply walk into Canada or Mexico, and deposit the money there. Who is the one who walked into Canada or Mexico? Could be anyone, some of these scammers get a bunch of mules to transfer the money and it's gone. Let's say Grandma found it it's a scam and they report the chase account to the bank, the bank would launch an investigation and if they see money going in and going out like crazy with multiple reports, they may close or freeze the money and turn that info to the FBI. If they see like a few bucks, they may just close it and write and check. They freeze it, close the account, and keep the money and try to refund it to some victims. But let's say that after the scammer or scammers successfully tricked ten people into depositing 700 each and quickly withdrawing the money out, they may just close it and the trail ends there and where they money went, who knows. Money withdrawal at a ATM or cash app, who knows. I know about this because I worked in a department for a few months where we looked at accounts like this, recommended some for closure, or filed reports to have it investigated further. One example I remember was when a group of people in Los Angeles CA and San Diego, btw, I can't disclose which bank it was for, wasn't chase, reported them buying "tickets" for an NBA game on Facebook and walking into a bank and making the deposits to the sellers "assistant" and get them getting blocked all together. We had this one account be reported multiple times with a similar story in two cities. Looking at the transactions, every time a deposit was made, somebody would put that money on cash app and it was sent to somebody else. Each and every single dollar. Where the money went, we don't know. Once it was sent out on cash app, it was out of our bank and we couldn't recover it.
@@bentorrey12 😢 it's sad ... my mom was scammed out of $16k and they said 🤷🏼♀️ sorry we can't trace it. Long story she suffered a couple Strokes after the jab and her mental capacity was still diminished - no one really knew - physically she was good and communicated fine - her logic was off kilter...she got a phone call and didn't tell any of us and then somehow convinced her that her entire family was trying to fraud her money away from her - to take it out of her bank and put it in some stupid Bitcoin machine and she freaking did it. Couple days later she freaked out realize what she did and then told us by then it was too late even though we had all of the account information that she transferred it into they said there's absolutely nothing they can do they can't trace it they can't get it back The sad part is it's not even the money that's upsetting it's the fact that they broke her thoughts so much that she didn't trust anyone that she was supposed to... and the regret and the feelings of stupidity she has all the time I can see it in her face it just breaks my heart
It's funny how the police department can catch their money before it goes overseas. But can't move that fast for regular citizens. Just goes to show how much more important things are when you have skin in the game.
We’ve investigated ourselves, found nothing wrong, and have a working relationship and trust of all other public officials in the justice system who would otherwise hold us accountable for our misconduct or incompetence
How bad do you want that to be true? Listen to the report. The bank flagged the transaction as suspicious. They asked the city if it was legit, the city said no. The cops were to dense to even know it happened. Call a doctor if that cognitive dissonance lasts over 4 hours
I’ll tell you one thing. If they were smart enough to scam you, they’re smart enough to not get caught… if not for the alert of a large transaction that money would have been LONG GONE
As an IT professional I can say, the Police department needs to undergo online phishing training, something that most companies require of their employees today. Phishing and Ransomware attacks rely on people being gullible enough to open attachments and/or web links without confirming the source. Hackers don't have to knock the door down, most just let them in.
As a person who actually watched the whole video, they weren’t targeted in a phishing campaign…perhaps as an IT professional you should work on your cybersecurity understanding.
That is to far fetched idea. Police training should start with Constitutional Law . Police are already experts at phishing , lying . They themselves are the best at hacking the system of their brand of justice .
@@TheGreatestShowman69 I have over 25 years securing corporate networks, internal and external, long before you started using the word cyber in front of security. I stand by my statement. Gullible people make social engineering possible, they cost companies and consumers billions. No amount of security will ever be effective against human error.
No, the bank found the money and asked the city "hey, did you want to give this guy 2 million bucks?" Then and only then did the cops even know about it after the bank did their jobs.
Kind of like the bank issuing 190 suspicious transaction reports to the FBI about Hunter Bidens bribery payments. But the fbi was busy surveilling Catholic Church moms. @@lemonstealinghorsdoeuvre
The mob didn't even do stuff like this. (Well maybe they did, I'm not sure) This is kinda funny to think the city got scammed and no arrests. At least they eventually figured it out.
Its kinda weird when it happens to the big fish.. they actually tracked the money all the way down to the accounts it went into. But us normal people gotta jump through hoops, when its obvious its ways to solve this trickery and return all stolen goods in a rather fast time frame.
So the police went after getting the money back? When this happens to normal people, we get told it is a civil matter. And the police do not lift a finger
either public info or maybe a former city worker who knew the process. suggestion to the city of Fort Lauderdale every time you fire someone change the process slightly such as add another form that needs to be filed or set up a password that they have to enter on the forms.
😂😂😂 Wouldnt it be nice if they worked that hard and fast to help us get our money back? And be so great if they at least tried to figure out and stop the people that scammed us, maybe that's why who scammed them are at such a high level of scamming now, nothing done about it for years!!
How do you know they really got the money back, they might be so embrass that they pretend they got the money back. How come many women loses millions to scammers and the banks always say there is nothing they can do
Imagine that when it's the police dept money they get their money back, if this happened to your eldery granny they would just apologize and do next to nothing.
That’s what they get they need to help the little people to get their money back. My poor little 83 year old lady friend from church got scammed for over $150,000 the cops just told her there is nothing they can do. I blame the BANKS fir paying the money to the scammer they should have flagged it some way done how. This happens to a lot of people BANKS DO NOT CARE 😢👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
Scammers: Wow. What a great plan, and we almost got away with it. Also scammers: We should just acquire and sell paper real estate. Also also scammers: We should sell courses on how to avoid scams.
It's very simple, people: anyone you don't DIRECTLY KNOW sending you an offer on text or email or in person or by mail: is trying to steal from you. Worst that will happen to you if you follow this: you'll not buy crap you don't need...
When police do illegal asset forfeiture against innocent people it's legal but when it happens to them it's illegal and those people if and when caught get criminally charged
I got scamed.. I'm a full time hard worker I don't know how they got my info, I don't know how they did this but when I went to the bank they act like they aren't reliable when you get a credit card you give them your info.. and for some reason on their computer they had a different email that ain't yours, they have a different cell # that ain't yours and I'm reliable... I don't do online purchases ever and I lost hundreds of $$$. Not their fault huh yeh right.
Whats crazy is how quick they were to get that money back. Meanwhile everyone else who get scammed they say. Theres nothing we can do about it.
Facts!
Yep.. they used a lot of power to stop those transactions.
The sad thing is, these resources ARE available and could be utilized to stop millions.. if not billions of dollars from being stolen to other countries.

Right
Yup, leave it to the bank they'll leave you high, and dry...

Well. Your money isn’t 1.2 million dollars lol, so I’d expect more fraud protection
@@supportmytroups7 funniest part is its still the people's money that the government stole.
@@supportmytroups7 It isn't theirs either. That 1.2 mil is taxpayer money.
@ygrittesnow1701 he means whenever it's money they are responsible for
Right! Funny how that works when their job and their arse is on the line
Huh... how come they can't get the people's money back when they get scammed? 🤔
Yeah, could be the Government is lying.
Oh, wait. They'd never do that

Technically it is citizens money
Technically, the bank found it and informed the city. The cops just happened to be the target. They didn't do anything

Well it's a parking lot, which in 10 years will pay for itself ticketing ppl so ofc they need the money
They probably just scammed the community for the money back.
Yes they do, it's called Civil Asset Forfeiture
People at risk of being scammed - my grandma and police departments. And my grandma hasn't been scammed yet.
And these are the people that are supposed to be keeping us safe L O L.
They'll get "their" (our tax money) back BUT you'll get a lengthy investigation going no where when its your money.
Like anyone is going to listen to the chief of police and his advice 😂😂😂
I get phishing texts every other day. UPS telling me I have a package, but they need my address, and send me a link.
The link is to gain access to your phone. If you know, good. People fall for it. I don't even scan those qr codes.
I reply asking who it is from.
Crazy how they double down on training you...but not on catching and punishing scammers.
Well at least all of the police cars have an extended warranty now.😊😊
😂😂😂

I doubt they got any
@@InPinkClover yeah but you can't beleive everything you hear; young and naive one
@@InPinkClover the point is we don't believe not that we didn't hear
I thought the same thing. That money is long gone.
especially crypto-currency, its impossible to get them back, the scammers knew what to do
The average citizen would have lost every penny.
The scammers weren’t trying to cause harm they were lining their pockets with the money!!
@imofftheleantho Figure it out for yourself, Einstein!
There needs to be more training for employees, recently people have been getting duped by fake emails and fake documents that are not verified.
As a regular person try getting your money back once you’ve been scammed let alone the police find out who the people are that took it.
It couldn't have been that sophisticated if police "intelligence" thwarted their efforts
I wouldn't doubt if this is politicians or government officials that are doing these scams
See, there are no faces or names!
😭
No big deal really, if The City of Fort Lauderdale didn't get any money back, they'd just get some more from the same source, The taxpayers.

Who ever scammed the police... 👏 🏆 bruh. That's some gangsta shii!!!
Whoever fell for the scam should be fired, and their boss fired.
Anytime I hear of a person getting scammed they don’t get their money back.
Imagine that! They can go full bore to get the cities money back back but a private individual or elderly is SOL.
I'm weak.. it ain't safe
Most definitely not
This is hilarious. What jagoffs
They won’t find em 😂 smh
They most definitely did not get that money back. They just say that to stop other people from trying.

Oh jeez! It must suck when a criminal organization gets scammed by another one.
How much did they spend getting it back
When the scammer gets scammed. 🤣
The only thing the scammer did wrong was to send 1 big bill instead of 3 smaller. Don't worry they will learn quick.
It's very simple, people: anyone you don't DIRECTLY KNOW sending you an offer on text or email or in person or by mail: is trying to steal from you.

How much of the money from all of the people Moss scammed before the police did they recover?
Somebody needs to be fired , an employee most likely cooked up the scam
never trust anyone from India when they call asking to connect to your PC...lol
This goes to show even the police were not very bright. If not for that bank to catch it, their million dollars is gone
Florida is a mess.
How exactly did these idiots get scammed for over a million dollars? Aren’t they supposed to be trained against crap like this?
so if they lost the money how would moss have been paid another million seems they knew the deal
Scammers scamming the police out of a million dollars. Legendary
Yeah, it's totally bulshit that they can recover their money but can not recover the money of anybody else.
I call bs there was never a dime missing 😂
These were clever scammers. Its actually pretty funny considering the scam victim. Hehehe!!!

Oh...if we lose to scams we stoopid...if police do it was a 'sophisticated scam' 😂
I'm glad they got their money bakc!!!!
