Why would you wire hundreds of thousand of dollars to a bank in Hong Kong & China, when Amazon is an American company with its head office in Seattle, Washington.
-
They always blame the bank for their own stupidity.
-
I don’t see how this the banks fault.
-
It’s not the bank’s fault if you actually sent the money yourself!
-
They gave away $700 thousand dollars. The bank is not responsible for their lost!
-
Why should the bank be responsible for his stupidity?
-
He is blaming Chase for his own actions!! What else would be next, he is not a child, he is a grown man, own up to his mistake.

I usually feel sorrier and angrier when scammers target older people, as sometimes, they are not as savvy with technology, but the actions of this man are right down irresponsible and stupid. No common sense whatsoever.

"The bank should have asked me more questions" No dude, you're the one who should have been asking the questions to uncover the big costly sham that you ultimately got duped into.
-
I get so fed up of people not taking accountability for their own mistakes.

My heart goes out to the elderly couple I also received similar scam in the email but never replied to it. Also I wish i had 700 grands to be scammed but i would just keep the money. Their daughter was a Big No help at all. She actually encouraged them to go along with the scammer. A huge tragedy 😫

I can't believe people still fall for this!! You NEVER send money to get money. Gee whiz!!
-
If I don't recognize the name or the number I don't answer my phone.

It's not the responsibility of banks to protect people from their own stupidity.

My father got scammed 5k when he wired a scammer that money as a processing fee to collect a million dollar sweepstakes win. He got what he deserved for being a greedy bastard. Why would I blame the bank for this? I blame him for being greedy

Where is the common sense when you believe Amazon or any other company would tell you what to say when you transfer money in a bank?
-
Blaming the bank? What a child 🙄 It’s all your fault
-
I'm sorry.... You've been living on Earth for all these decades and you can't believe someone would lie with that level of bad faith? In what bubble have you spent your life?
-
Stop answering the phone

It's not the banks fault it's your fault
