SoCal woman scammed out of $700k files case against bank

[@elduscharlson3164]

Outstanding job, Briskdeft! I'm so glad you're out there battling these vile scammers. We must take every precaution to protect the general people and the elderly from these vile con artists!! Bravo to you! You ought to be awarded the *UniversalChargeBack* for protecting us. Big up, brother

[@captmrgn7040]

But when the bank DOES ask a bunch of questions people get pissed off.

[@doright8355]

This is not the bank fault. She went in to do the transfer in person and the bank already warned her " once the money is transfered, she will not get it back".

[@travelswithminky246]

you obviously don't know about the lonely senior scams going around. 1.6 billion. do some research.

[@dwj9099]

When you mother is elderly you need to watch over her finances. Greed played a part in this too.

[@w2385-i2s]

She learned a lot from the scammers. Now she's scamming the bank.

[@spicecd]

Why should the bank be responsible for her stupidity? There are countless stories of people scammed out of their money, yet here we are. Why should the bank question customers for accessing their own money? Where were this woman's family members? Friends?

[@travelswithminky246]

because the elderly are vulnerable. 1.6 billion.

[@RaymondHng]

When the elderly adult is over 80 years old with a slight onset of dementia and not completely understanding computers, they can be easily tricked into allowing the scammer remote into their computer.

[@Theinsomniac826]

Chase Bank is not liable. She willingly gave her money away.

[@Cucumberflavoredmustard]

If you are 80, your hobby is gardening, and have 700k in cash... you're chillin'. NO MORE investing needs to happen.

[@blakeaaron5698]

Sorry for Lin, but she’s totally responsible for her actions and lapse of judgement. This is what can happen when someone is lonely and vulnerable. I hope her family rallies around her.

[@nunyadambusiness3530]

She's not responsible for being manipulated. These banks print money under the table without the feds knowing ALL THE TIME. I used to work for several... Give her her money back.

[@travelswithminky246]

she is elderly. bank didn't care. 1.6 billion dollars a year. elderly are vulnerable.

[@brimmed]

I feel bad for her, but don't ask the bank why they didn't do more. If they tried, what would she have done? Claim the bank doesn't know what they're talking about and you trust this friend. Instead you should be vigilant on your own, trust but verify.

[@MrTmenzo]

According to Chase Bank employees informed the widow once she authorized the wire transfers she wouldn't be able to recover her funds. She messed up big time.

[@teawithmissyp]

Why did she trust him. That was crazy. The bank is not to blame.

[@HardmoreGamer]

She's 80 years old

[@Trillaen]

A credit card company will stop this transaction. Why can’t banks do more to protect the elderly when a huge amount is being withdrawn?

[@rochester3]

as soon as she said she trusteed the person that was her fault

[@yflegal6503]

This case is different, nobody can help her. She did it to herself.

[@TN-hn5vv]

This interview will be used against her. This is not the bank's fault.

[@rochester3]

she said she trusted the person

[@sun2020able]

how can you lose 700k without even visiting a bank branch?

[@susanp6057]

The bank is not responsible for this. This money was not stolen. She gave this money willingly to the fraudster. Now how did he know she had the money, that's the question?

[@bnwo]

Not the bank's fault.

She is responsible for this incident. Why did she engage with online users on financial matters?

[@Toogoodtobetrue458]

Loneliness makes people choose poorly

[@littosalgado6788]

Always blaming someone else for our stupidity, she gave her information willingly now she needs to deal with the consequences.

[@Impozalla]

It's not the bank's fault. The owner of the count went to the bank and willfully withdrew or transfer the money out of her account. It's not like as if a complete stranger went to the bank to withdrew her money out. This lawsuit need be thrown out. Her own loneliness and wanted to connect to someone got her scammed out of her life savings. This all happens way too often.

[@Chicago48]

Looking for Love. Stop it women! Stop it! Just go on with your life. Make friends with other women. And she can put a "stop limit" on the amount of money she can withdraw. She has to go back to work. Does she have Soc. Sec.?

you have no clue. the bank should have noticed the red flags and told her. there are so many elderly scams now. 1.6 billion dollars.

[@edgarhigareda2022]

I been in banking for years. Anytime someone sends money to Africa, Asia, etc we always confirm to make sure who they are sending it to and be careful because many scammers

[@Rayjack-m9o]

I feel for this lady, but She has to take responsibility. It appears she went into her bank where she was known. She requested certain services and the bank obliged.

[@tommyaudio]

on the other hand, would she have complained about an agent trying to moderate her decisions?

[@thetreekeeper143]

She was greedy trying to earn more. Would have been better to live off the bank interest.

[@rogerrosen2323]

correct she fell for a scam so un needed hard to u derstand this jus lkie postal workers and non workers strealing checks and mail and depositing them cant get away w that its all traceable to the dposit point and how the cks are seen to be altered

[@Tonilious626]

Many people spend their entire life saving for retirement and after saving hundreds of thousands of dollars they end up passing away for someone else to enjoy the money. Enjoy your hard-earned money travel buy things you always wanted. Life is too short to save money. If you think you're going to be good when you retired, you are wrong. Many people who retired are either in a wheelchair or suffering from a chronic disease. Even if you make it nothing guarantees you will enjoy your money. Enjoy while you are young.

[@mil237pitas]

She is at fault. Greed will do that to you.

[@MrJakob49]

lol chase has no responsibility to tell you what you should or shouldn’t do with your money

[@cristobaldelacruz142]

If the bank reimburses everyone for their mistakes we wouldn’t have banks, because they would all be out of money by now.

[@xyzhero8480]

Has anyone told her not to give money to anyone especially if you never seen their face in person and as well as just met through online. Common sense...

[@unknOwN-nv9nu]

Good luck. That’s a lot of money to get a refund.

sorry, 80 year old woman LOSES ... she voluntarily sent those wire transfers ... the bank has NO responsibility

[@tl1533]

The banks should have known & could have stopped if they cared!

[@Trillaen]

If it was Chase credit card, they would have flagged it and stopped it. I always wondered why there wasn’t more safeguards for bank accounts. It’s tied directly to your money.

[@rogerrosen2323]

She should be wiser at her age. Did she got to the school of democrats where they teach it always someone else's fault for bad idea and policies?

I hate scammers and would like to see them all in prison but she fell for it. If you know a elderly person watch out for them. The daughter should have set up a joint account to get alerts to help her mom.

Her only hope now is to use some money to buy some crypto that will skyrocket later.

[@JL-rd5gn]

a fool and their money...

[@Lp0tr33]

The comments are like 31-6 that it is her fault. Someone told her a get rich quick scheme and she bought into it headfirst. Didn't test the waters or even consult her daughter first or anything. Probably should have been a limit protection warning but also they said that she has made wire transfers before, no indication how much that was.

[@kennielsen3896]

Two ideas. 1st is banks should offer seniors "special services accounts" after a certain age where the flag all transactions and designate a specific person be notified of transfers/withdrawals over a certain amount. 2nd is that family members need to assess their senior family members ability to fall prey and if so, take measures such as financial conservatorships when necessary.

[@papagen00]
