Are we reading the same thread? I can't see anything where the OP reports that they had to "deal with the aftermath which in his case caused a lot of problems, failed dd's etc".

Nor can I see that the OP said the bank gave the OP's money to someone else.

His case should have been 'my relative's case', and there's an IF at the beginning of the sentence because in the OP's case it's hypothetical. My relative is the one who got the headache to sort out the problems due to the bank's mistake, if they had checked the ID and signature properly they would have not given his money to the thieves, and he would have not had to waste time sorting out the problems with the new accounts, the failed dd's etc etc. I think it took them a month to open the new accounts, they made some mistakes on the type of account/overdraft etc, then he had to contact all the companies the dd's were supposed to go to. Very time consuming.

These are very serious and despicable cases of fraud but none of them was a cashier whose job at the counter is being recorded by CCTV all day long. Where is the evidence that cashiers are forging people's signatures?

Yes please, do seriously explain how cashiers at banks forge signatures, as alleged by the OP.

Cashiers don't have toilet breaks or lunch breaks? Jobs to do away from the counter?

The world is full of people in positions of trust who are willing to bend the law to their own ends. You think bank cashiers are immune to it?

Tripe.

Not quite the same thing. In one case the staff would have been commission based, there'd obviously be an incentive. The other is just theft. The op's case is not like this.

Keeping your job is an incentive.

I am never asked for a pin when I go into my Nationwide BS. I just hand them my debit card and they give me the cash.
But I do think that the op should get out more.

Says the guy posting on this forum on a Friday night!

Not that there's anything wrong with that... but it's kinda hypocritical given what you've just said.

In addition to my earlier post... the link about the Frome employee says that he WAS a cashier and did forge withdrawal slips.

What's any of this to do with bank cashiers? If you are trying to prove that people in employment misbehave, including criminally misbehave, that's fine. We all know it already. Why you would use this particular thread for it, and why you seem to imply that posters on internet forums are always telling the truth is a slight mystery to me.

I would remember if I had signed something. I am 100% certain I did not sign anything.

If you knew or understood anything about the workings of the human brain, you'd know that this simply makes no sense. People forget things, people do things absent-mindedly, people do this all the time.

Do you believe that you are superhuman, not like the rest of us, or are you claiming that you videoed everything?

In short, why do you believe that you have a perfect memory, when no-one else does?

I'm not saying that posters on internet forums are always telling the truth.

I'm saying that there's enough corruption in the world that I keep an open mind about such things.

Meanwhile you get a bunch of people who reply saying it's impossible, and oh no it can't possibly be true just because it seems unlikely.

If I was a betting man I would have put money on all of the people in the above stories not having committed the offences they committed, but guess what, they did! So it is not beyond the realms of possibility that a bank cashier would forge a signature. It has happened in the past and could happen again.

Open your mind and at least accept the possibility, however unlikely.

Or read loads of threads on here where people swear blind something wasn't the case then someone sooner or later comes along and proves it was. Eg with me post about people claiming they never knew when a free trial would come to an end that they would get charged saying it was never mentioned then someone comes alone with screenshots proving the opposite.
