    Man, this one hit me in the heart. It's reminds me of my aunt, who is an incredibly giving person and donates more than anyone I know. Sometimes her kindness is taken of advantage of, and it makes my blood boil. Thank you guys for saving her $980,700. You dramatically changed her life for the better. The scammers don't stop after 1 success. Thank you, thank you, thank you Nicholas and *Universaldispute* on the internet team. You guys are heroes to me.

      Combank fraud centre called and then texted me when I started transferring money to another bank. When I didn't respond they reversed the transfer and locked me out, which I didn't mind, then they texted me again telling me to call the number in the message. I called it, got the voice menu and eventually to a section where it asked me to enter my client number and password (may have been tekebanking password), before I got to actually speak to anyone. That's when I hung up and called the number on their Web site, which was the same routine (the text was genuine but it can never be trusted). I didn't provide a client id or password the second time either and still got to a human and they unlocked access without that info.
      No wonder people are confused when the banks can't see that what they're doing is exactly what scammers can do.

    Scammers go into panic mode, thinking their system has been compromised, they want to know who told you, the number who phoned, you just hang up, works a treat.

    Banks should be held accountable. They know exactly where the money's going .Just watch how fast scams start to dry up.Letting scammers take hundreds of thousands of dollars from people without there authorisation is beyond negligence regardless of ANY situation or scam!Problem these days banks are becoming too automated and not enough actual staff..MAKE BANKS ACCOUNTABLE!Like they already do in some countries.

Interesting that one of them is a smaller bank and not one of the big four, suggesting the smaller bank doesn’t use same level of expensive I.T. as larger banks. Two people who replied to my comment probably work for one of these smaller banks.
