Digital Arrest Scam

Its one thing if the transfer happens without your concern but she transferred herself at the branch. As much as it was unfair, bank was right here at least. She wanted bank officials to tell her that she might be getting scammed. But staff rarely cares and wouldn't have raised a red flag even if the transfer amount was unusual.
