Re: Tales of the Thunderturd
I thought recent legislation stopped others paying large cash sums into your account, without your card, or you present?

Re: Tales of the Thunderturd
I am sure you are correct Nigel - I have fallen foul of this a couple of times in recent months. There has to be an account trail or verified payee at the cash input end. You effectively have to pay the cash in yourself....

Re: Tales of the Thunderturd
There's a far less limit than £3K - In fact I don't think there is any allowance unless its 30 quid or summat. I could not pay £300 in to Mrs Rocker's account from my branch - it had to go into my account first. This, despite a demonstrable trail of such transactions over the previous 12 years.....

I know...They can ID-verify the cash-holder, CCTV the transaction, record the note numbers, audit the whole process etc. What they cannot seem to be able to do is stop people scamming account-holders electronically.....

But that's ok they'll agree to pay them back with the profits that should be interest on the accounts of those not stupid enough to fall for it.

Re: Tales of the Thunderturd
Thing is, it isn't only stupid people.....I am only a bit stupid but still got £2000 sucked out of my savings account after it was accessed illegally. This, despite only internet-banking on a work desk-top that had more virus protection and security firewalls than a Pentagon lock-and-load mainframe. In my view that can only have happened their side of the fence. I spotted the anomaly almost immediately, shut the internet account off and called Barclays. The drone at the other end started ticking me off for not having taken their piss-pot McAfee offer up. I've never done online banking since and because I cannot be arsed to change bank accounts I make sure there is never a penny more in my account than there needs to be.

That's highly unusual then, the vast majority of it is idiots clicking on fake links & so on.
