Does Monzo/HSBC refund you if money has been taken out of an account by a scammer,? My daughter was called on the phone and now she has lost a few thousand pounds , money for university degree - she is devastated - as she is an innocent trustworthy young lady ,now may not be able to carry on with her degree . Will she get this money back? , Monzo / HSBC are looking into the above as she reported it straight away to them - this has knocked her confidence etc . Is there any help / advice for young students who get scammed and how to get this money back ?

What was the background to the event? Each case will be decided on the facts surrounding the events such as the level of checking done by the customer and how resilient the banks own systems were. In addition, the bank may be able to recover monies (partially or whole) depending on where they are in the banking system.
So straight answer to your question is no-one knows apart from your daughter as she has all the facts.
There are also dispute systems (Financial Ombudsman) if the banks conclusions are at odds with what your daughter thinks. So early days.- All land is owned. If you are not on yours, you are on someone else's
- When on someone else's be it a road, a pavement, a right of way or a property there are rules. Don't assume there are none.
- "Free parking" doesn't mean free of rules. Check the rules and if you don't like them, go elsewhere
- All land is owned. If you are not on yours, you are on someone else's and their rules apply.
