I was scammed December 2020 and still waiting for it to be resolved. Case now with Financial Ombudsman.

Scammers becoming more and more sophisticated, posing as bank employees and using official bank documents. Bank treating me like a naughty child and withholding some of the money taken. Also granted a loan to someone pretending to be me without actually checking with me first. It was done online and guess what, "they don't check online applications that way". Really! So, their security systems are questionable too.

My Amazon account comes "under attack" regularly. I'm sent a link supposedly to verify who I am. When copying it into search engine, comes up with totally different and insecure website. Leave it a few days, then I can log in as normal; very strange

A friend's sister and late mother were also scammed and in both cases it took about 18 months to get all of the money back.

Stay alert everyone, you just never know. I suspect it's a dodgy ex or current bank employee.
