Bank Won't Pay If You Send Money Yourself

Scammers tricked two Dutch victims into sending themselves 59,000 euros by convincing them to install malware and boost transfer limits—then the bank, despite flagging one transaction, let it through because victims claimed it was for a camper van. A recent ruling says banks aren’t liable if customers initiate the transfer themselves, even under fraud, unless gross negligence is proven. While Kifid tweaked its policies to ease reimbursements for helpdesk scams, the core rule remains: if you send money yourself, you’re on the hook. Stay vigilant—unsolicited banking calls are almost always a setup. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
