shock at £150,000 bank refund..... www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/pensioner-romance-scam-victim-b2303398.htmlNot me, but can't speak for Mowlick. Should a bank really be refunding this though which puts costs up to everyone else. Why should the individual be compensated. ...."James’ son Adam was horrified when he was at first told his father wasn’t eligible for compensation" The bank had quickly spotted signs of potential fraud and blocked a number of transactions. They also warned James what was going on, at first by phone and then in an person at a meeting in a branch, but he still insisted on making the payments.

I don't know about the moral points, but Lloyds has actually been making a profit over the last few years, so it behoves anyone with sense to take whatever is going.
Anyway, the old boy might have been daft, but he sounds a decent sort, so good luck to him

If any woman shows any romantic interest in me I know it’s a scam right away and tell them that at the moment all my savings are invested in the Nigerian economy.

If he insisted on making the payments, he should bear the cost.
Anyway, where's Rishi Sunak in all of this???
