My partner has been scammed TSB.

My partner has admitted to me tonight that he applied for a “marketing job” which essentially resulted in him sending money to various people via different apps. Tap tap send and lemfi. From his TSB current account. He has lost nearly £3000. 

We have spoken to TSB who have told us in the first instance to speak to these apps. We have advised the apps that the transactions were fraudulent but don’t hold much hope. 

I know TSB have a good fraud guarantee reputation, is there any likelihood that he will get this money back? He is devastated.

There could be, but the issue is he authorised the transactions and the transfers to those apps were legitimate, it is where he has sent the money from those apps after the transfer that is the issue. I suspect that TSB will not be giving him anything.
