Scam via money transfer organisation

Our daughter was scammed by someone posing as Blue Arrow Recruitment into moving £2000 from her UK bank account into WISE (not a bank) from where it was transferred into the scammers account. Is the UK bank liable for reimbursing her?

    No, it sounds like it will be an expensive lesson. 
    I imagine her bank had the warning messages about it possibly being a scam etc.

    How was she scammed?
    Did they say this would get her a job or such?

    By all means she can speak to the bank but I won't expect there's much of a chance.
