We had a case a while back at work.
A customer tried to transfer a life changing amount of money to a different bank to buy a new toy.
The fraud systems kicked in because the receiving account had been used for a fraud before and the other bank had not closed the account.
The customer was called but would not take our advice claiming that he knew best. His account was suspended and the authorities notified.
Unfortunately the man had access to the bank account of a limited company with another bank and transferred the money from that account and lost it all.
