Nationwide bank transfer fraud

pmduk

A bank transfer is exactly like giving someone cash. Don't blame the bank if the recipient is a crook, you chose who to give it to.

Neither should you ask a question on a public forum then complain when you get civil answers that aren't what you want to hear.

Bank transfers cannot be stopped once the money has left your account. It is theoretically possible to recall the money but the fraudsters know this and will move it on instantly.

Unless the police manage to recover it (very unlikely) your money is gone. As much as you'd like to blame Nationwide the blame lies firmly with you.

I am completely devastated by Nationwide policy on consumer protection as there is none!

This isn't just the case with nationwide as it applies to all banks when a money transfer is willingly done by a customer and as pmduk stated, in reality it's no different to giving a total stranger a wad of cash in the hope that they will send you what they said they would.

This is from Nationwide themselves:

5. Choose when to be direct

Avoid paying for goods via direct bank transfer, unless you know the person well or you can confirm that the company is reputable.

The company was a reputable one it was traders who deal with my fixtrade.com
As I previously mentioned Barclays are willing to look into it and asked for Nationwide cooperation but they refused to cooperate with Barclays.

No reputable company would tell you to do a bank transfer.

It's easy for Barclays to say that knowing you are not their customer. If that money has gone from Barclays (which it will have) then what can Barclays do - nothing.

Barclays were appalled at Nationwide.

They really, really weren't. Their call centre operative was just saying what you wanted to hear (and blaming Nationwide in the process!)

I'll say what you don't want to hear.

Your money is lost.

Sorry.

'Mike Evans CEO' appears to be the identical twin of David Harris, the Australian actor.

Even has the same taste in shirts.

Can't find the other two, no doubt their pictures are equally genuine.

Aye, and the whois lookup is equally inconclusive (they use a company to help hide the personal information)...

Although it was registered in July 2017 and expires in July 2018 (possible chop shop).

Of course, there are a few interesting things about the website....

I wonder if this is OP?
