    Dude, no bank is going to tell you to transfer to another bank. That’s the number 1 red flag
  • The guy that got scammed said he had a bad feeling about it but still went ahead and transferred his money anyway? Trust your instincts folks!
  • @leonjohnson1397
    Why would a bank call you to transfer to their competitor? That’s a huge red flag
  • He’s lucky he got it back. Usually when Money transfer apps are used, it’s out of the banks hands. Zelle does not guarantee your money nor is it federally protected. There’s been many a time where banks just say “sorry, nothing we can do”.
  • @KarenWeems
    “Hang on I have another call”, call your bank directly and hang up on the scammer. Calling your bank is quick and easy AND REAL!
  • @saraimontes5338
    Just so everyone knows... Banks DO call you to verify suspicious activity. The only difference is that when the bank is legitimately calling you, they know your name, DON’T ask for any of your personal information and it's a quick call. All they want to know is if it was you or not so they can unblock the card if necessary. I work in the fraud department for a bank and make these calls.

    This man needs to move his savings into my account for safe keeping.
  • @goldielocks3354
    Why would any bank tell you to put your money in another bank like seriously
  • @MrTmenzo
    Transfer via Zelle? C'mon dude why are people so gullible.
  • @blackpearl3126
    It’s sad that we live in a time where people are so nasty.
  • That is not true…Zelle has a daily cap of 2,500-4000. That is his whole life saving really?
  • @mikec5300
    Ppl are getting dumber by the day. We are so screwed
  • Thank God ,he got his money back please be careful people, if that inner self tells you don’t do something listen.
  • @markfaulkner8965
    The fake compassion is insulting!!! Get an excited energy when talking about scammers finding a new way to rob people then finish with a man losing half his money by saying “ it breaks my heart to hear that…tough” with an energy of judgement and disregard.
  • @Sky1
    Sentences should be doubled when they scam a senior
  • @citticat2
    He was so lucky to get his money back. I hope people learn a lesson never trust emails or calls from people trying to get at your account information -- ALWAYS call the bank to verify.
  • @bit1733
    The problem is there still are people like David "in this age". Which bank on earth asks its customers to move their money out because it's unable to safeguard it?
  • @chelsea7229
    There’s a point where people have to take responsibility for being an idiot 🤷‍♀️
  • @jimbarrofficial
    What's worse, he just became marketing gold in the dark web. He'll be a test subject for every scam in the future.
