    You are free to give your money to anyone you choose, this is not the banks problem, however it appears they are trying to HELP YOU here.
    I have to say, as Scams Go, this is one of the oldest most widely known their is, I would find a WISE old friend or relative to offer you some advice and guidance before you enter any more of these "business transactions " if you really are that trusting you are going to need some help because they will come thick and fast now you are on the "LIST", dont get upset, life is hard, you are born naked, defenceless, cold, hungry and wet, then the trouble really starts...

    Just a quick question really, if the person does open a new bank account before these fraud markers are placed on the account - they should be OK to do this but what happens each month once they can see fraud markers have been added via the monthly feed? Would they close the account because of this or would it only be if the new account was involved in fraud again in the future?

    Should a customer gain a a CIFAS marker, I reckon you can expect all banks to close your accounts, or at least treat you with huge caution.
