2 different banks warned customer.
"Unfortunately, despite repeatedly warning her of the dangers of transferring money to someone she hadn't met and directly raising our concerns that this was a scam with Ms Elwell and the police, she confirmed she wanted to proceed with the payments."
"The customer was provided with sufficient fraud warnings and still proceeded with the payments."
So just what can they do?
