I work at a bank and I love these kinds of videos so I can stay aware and catch scams before they happen with my customers. Thank you Ben!

[@yellowbird5411]

Banks are uniquely in position to stop scams. However, it seems too often banks automatically process funds out of and into customer accounts without checking with the customer to determine the reason. Banks should have customer care employees who are versed in money scams and who can reach out to customers to discuss whether they are victims and inform them of how money scams work. Obviously, due to the enormous amount of money being stolen by thieves right out of people's accounts, people are not savvy enough to spot criminals. Additionally, there should be a firewall against thieves for each account. I cannot even access my account online until I authorize the bank call me to give me an additional code, beyond my password. Everyone should have at least that insurance of a code delivered directly to the customer each time they access the account online.

One scammer tried to convince me that a considerable amount of money had been transferred to my (fictious) account. The transfer was signed by Meghan Markle! Then, I was told that the amount was invisible on my account until I had paid a "fee". So, I sent them a fake transfer receipt signed by Harry of Sussex.
