Should people be refunded for making stupid decisions like giving money or information to obvious scams?
Post Body
Honestly, it should be basic knowledge that all of the stuff listed just under here are scams. This could be..
- if you didn't sign up for something
- if something is like NFT's
- If someone is asking you to verify details to collect a parcel
- if a random is suddenly asking you for 200K
Should banks and their other customers need to face the repercussions for other people making these stupid decisions? It shouldn't be hard to know that if you paid 2K for a phone (includes delivery cost)... then they wouldn't ask you to pay money to collect an item.
Recently a Canberra woman was scammed out of 1.6 million dollars EVEN when the bank told her its a scam.

Obvious to who? How old is the victim? Should banks be doing more to prevent scams Should banks become mandatory reporters of elder abuse?
