****** just grabbed a
The banks saw red flags everywhere and double checked with ex policeman *Paul. Paul lied that he had met the woman he was transferring money to. Now Paul wants to unlie and get his money back. Makes perfect sense.
So the ING fraud team proactively follow up the customer based on tidbits of information they find out, but the customer lies to them and says he has met this woman in person etc. they still warn him and he doesn’t listen.
Now he wants the bank to be financially responsible for his losses?
I do feel sorry for the guy, he was super vulnerable at the time. Plus he has a young daughter to take care of. But the sad truth is that the bank is not responsible for his loss. He 100% is responsible.
Paul is an idiot should be the title
The article says he lied to ING about having met her in person, so. Play stupid games, etc.
If you want access to your money, you gotta pay more money. Who would fall for that?
I can completely understand why he’s upset but he surely waives all rights to sue if he lied to them about meeting her in person. Had he said he never had, I doubt they would have been so passive about the second conversation.
I just don’t understand how they can sue the bank for this. Absolutely ridiculous. Especially after having lied to the bank about meeting her in person.
If you willingly sent money somewhere because you fell for a scam a bank ain’t responsible for that.
Haha. People love falling for scams. It doesn’t matter if it’s a get-rich-quick scheme, an Instagram “pay for my course and I’ll teach you how to get likes” scam, a romance scam, a dodgy investment opportunity…people love thinking they can get maximum returns for minimal effort. If it looks too good to be true, it probably is. No one is going to fall in love with you and message you for hours without physically meeting, just like if you’re a housewife you are not going to get rich selling Herbalife and out-earn your peers who have actual qualifications. And no, you’re not going to hit pay dirt on the pokies machines.
Behind every scam victim is someone who feels the need to believe in unlikely miracles.
None likes a nanny state until the stuff up then they want life with bumper rails .
Another f wit not taking responsibility for his actions. Ignoring repeated warnings from the bank. Lying to the bank. Believing utter drivel?
“Oh but it’s the banks fault!”. F right off. I can bet right now that this guy is type that has the “there’s no way this could happen to me, I’m too smart.” mentally.
> he lost another $172,000 from his ING account when he tried to withdraw his investment.
It was due to fraudulent demands from the scam website requiring him to “verify” his payments by making additional deposits…
..he turned to additional funds he had in a Macquarie Bank account, transferring another $148,300 in hopes of getting his funds released.
Even without hidnsight, I can’t imagine handing money over to anyone or anything that is already holding some hostage.
Somehow I knew it was some dude thirsty for an Asian chick before I even opened the story
Westpac made the news this week where a bank teller prevented a customer selling their house and sending the $1.5M proceeds to Nigeria to “ release their boyfriend from prison”, a person they had never met and lied to the bank about.
Some people you cannot help and Paul is one of them.
Aka ‘a fool and his money are easily parted’
That’s not a slight on Paul. People need to hear about how easy these scams are, and there’s little that can be done but to warn people to be more discerning.
There are lonely singles in my area right now?! – Paul probably.
Unsure how the banks can prevent people from lying to them and willingly transferring their own money to scammers…
Yet another moron who thinks the blame lies anywhere but with his own stupidity.
This guy deserves zero sympathy. People like this cost YOU money, friends, because their garbage claims against banks etc cost money to defend and also are often settled just to get rid of them. And that means the banks then charge you more to make up for it.
I genuinely do not understand how people give money to people who have messaged them completely out of the blue that they haven’t met
>The Consumer Action Law Centre (CALC) said the onus should have been on the bank to recognise Paul was the victim of a scam, particularly when ING was already “on notice” during the phone call that he was at risk.
It’ll be great if this group gets their way. “Your last transaction was a bit suspicious, we’ve locked your account until we get proof you’re not being scammed. No we can’t unlock it on your say-so because you might be a moron who is lying to us but we’ll be held responsible anyway.”
Dudes a moron. You should be able to opt into a banking system that holds your hand but for most of us avoiding scams is just common sense and over correcting here isn’t a good thing
If this is the critical thinking he’s acquired after years on experience on the floor, I really wonder what kind of choices and judgements he made during his early career…
Forest Gump said it best with
“Stupid is what stupid does”
But worse is the media even publishing it like scams are something new .
All these “ Desperate x? Fell for scamming x? Was too embarrassed to tell possible kids or friends now claiming ignorance and want someone else to fix.
Wonder what police said when he reported it to them
/r/boomersbeingfools
This says more about the quality of police than the banks.
Gets a random text out of the blue, transfers money, lies to his bank < we let this person enforce the rules of the country???
This is happening to my dad rn. He will not believe anyone or any evidence telling him shes not real. I feel bad for him and others it happens to, but it gets to a point where they can’t blame anyone but themselves.
I get all the judgemet for this guy, it is hard to imagine how he didn’t see the red flags. He is still a victim though. I really hate these scammers.
If this happened to me and by some miracle i found out who they were, let’s just say I might be the one ending up in jail.
I have no sympathy for thirsty, ignorant boomer men
Let’s have banks controlling when and where we can spend our money. Formal requests in writing for large expenses. Sounds great!
Bank shareholders should not have to pay for his stupidity and deceit
Is the merchant navy a thing anymore? My first thought it’s not the 1940s.
> If images are shared with you from a potential romantic partner, use a reverse image search tool to see if the pictures are legitimate.
To be honest, I don’t think this is great advice – I can see many an old mate like Paul deciding it can’t be a scam because he didn’t find the same image using a reverse search.
I think we need to be stronger – don’t give money to people you haven’t met and verified their identity, their social circle, their job, etc.
And even then, don’t fall for scams – there’s no risk-free super fast way to magically make millions.
Did culpability for ones actions go out the window during covid or something?
We can call him a buffoon, but we’re most likely to stuff up after a major life event like a death, divorce, major illness etc
Paul should go to a police station to file a report. A courteous officer will tell him they are too busy and to file it online.
Then he will receive a message that someone may contact him. A couple of weeks later he will receive a call from an anonymous number claiming to be a police officer and they are too under-resourced to consider pursuing this.
