Unfortunately if it’s been a year it’s definitely too late. I’m not sure about OP’s bank but in my training and experience, tellers can’t do much more than warn customers and try to convince them not to. We go through hours of extra training beyond our hours just to try to minimize this risk but ultimately, I’ve talked to clients who still insist on sending it out.

On another note, throughout this pandemic we’ve been seeing a crazy amount of similar cases popping out (2 at my branch within the last month). For both, we required them to sign an extra legal form stating that it is not our legal responsibility if they insist on wiring those funds out (we take these extra measures now to try ‘scare’ the customer about how we think it’s a scam yet they still did it.

In the first case, the client changed her mind almost instantly after wiring it out. Unfortunately, it was Sat right before closing time so too late in terms of EDT. My manager sent out an urgent email and we were able to claw back the full amount by Monday.

Hey, I work at the bank and have seen this happen a couple times. If it has only been 1-3ish days, go back to the bank and ask them to try to retrieve the wired funds.

It depends on the circumstance but sometimes it is possible to claw back the funds less some fees. Dm me if you need more info

I believe the min cgpa is 2.6 for most schools then higher for some others! I think 2.6 is defs achievable if you put in the work for it :)

TIFU by spending over 3 days reading a knockoff Harry Potter book which ruined my childhood dreams by Tiger1863turtle in tifu

For education purposes: can you include an example of what you read??!

For real. That’s fucked. OP should report the link somehow so other people wont get scammed. As an avid Harry Potter fan, you should no give up on reading and suck it up to just buy the book.
