Autotrader vehicle purchase screwed

Hoof_Hearted

Autotrader do not do enough to prevent scams. I once spent an hour reporting scams on their website. They are so easy to spot.

Always amazes me. Setting up, altering or doing anything with a business or charity bank account takes a gazillion years, paperwork out of your ears and unbelievable amounts of ID and checking.

Yet criminals seem to be able to open whole networks of bank accounts without any difficulty??

RBS was on moneybox basically saying "it's all the customers' faults if they're daft enough to fall for scams", but that doesn't account for the banks equally falling for the same scam in opening fake bank accounts FIRST.

OP - your money will have been moved around the world several times by the time you closed your browser. Sorry.

you cant recall bank transfers

You can recall BACS transfers, up to the specified cut-off if the account still has the funds, but not faster payments or CHAPS. Most online payments will be the faster payments type. The OP was miles outside the BACS recall window.

Unlikely to be a criminal opening accounts, why would they bother when they can find some gullible fool to do their "payment processing" for them and forward the money via western union or similar. So it's a genuine bank account owned with real ID.

I used to get spam.email all the time offering such job opportunities and I'm sure they still get sent out

Thanks for the help.

This story really happened, i know i can only share my accounts to prove.

I live midway between Swindon and London area so there was my other question around buying Car in Swindon. I wish i had done that.

Yes now i got the correct Crime reference Number. Thanks for the help.

I argued with HSBC i was defrauded in my making those payments, initially they refused to do anything but they later agreed place a recall request on my payment.

Hope i have answered all the questions here. Also Action fraud letter says ..they will respond to me in 28 Days

Well that letter will either be you didn't get enough points for an investigation or the details have been passed to X police force.

So it matters not as you now have a crime number, has your home force taken responsibility?

Are you by any chance private investigator ?

Dont know what you mean by home force?

No the letter says its passed to National Crime Agency to investigate.

What for an 11 grand theft. The bank account must be linked to something else.

Which force game you a crime number?

£11k??

Action Fraud, they sent a letter and there is crime reference in it.
