I'm coordinating some work on my uncles apartment in Sydney (he lives up the coast) and he transferred some money to me to pay me back for the tradies. His daily limit is only 5K and he sent the first lot today. His bank called him within 15 mins of the transaction and put him through the ringer asking who the money is for and why, because he exactly fit the profile, age wise for someone who gets scammed.

Good they're onto it but also very sad they need such a thing. A lot of people must be losing a lot of money!

My bank texts me if any money is transferred that appears to be outside my profile.
They are getting better, but still miss some things.
There are some benefits to big brother, as well as many negatives.

The boss docked my pay $120 for the 60 Coca Colas I stole from work. Got a verbal reprimand, too. I did wonder why my pay was a little light that week.

Theft is a hanging offense.

You were lucky.

The boss was just happy to let me pay back the money owed. I had done a lot worse for that the supervisor could have fired me. But, seeing as I was the favourite of the store for that time, I was given a reprieve.

So the banks are onto you after the last Curry scam, eh?

So unfair. Where's Rene Rivkin when you need him?

The bank  stopped my credit card once  because I used it in a remote part of Indonesia for a $25 transaction. Couldnt quite understand that.

If I didn't have the money I would have asked the boss if I could keep a tab and pay on payday, not help myself to what he paid for.

Entitlement mentality.

We have a problem at the soup kitchen where some volunteers think that because a lot of food is donated and costs nothing, they can help themselves. On one day I work there we have lost two people who won't work when my wife and I work anymore because we won't let them do their shopping there. There is enough to give away at times and volunteers are welcome to have it but only when they are given the OK. If every volunteer did what some do, or try to do, there would be nothing to use to make meals and I consider that thieving from the most disadvantaged. Volunteers are allowed to take anything left of the food prepared home too but one guy wanted it all and had no  thought about anyone else, "I'll have all that!". I have no problem with them not wanting to work there when I do.

This has the appearance of a money-laundering scheme to avoid GST, income tax, and hide the source of payments by diversion. The use of $5k is also evidently trying to evade the government surveillance of transactions over $10 k.

Three-Fingers Haji Gordon is naive if he believes the bank is protecting geriatrics. The real story is the bank is reporting suspicious transactions to the ATO and the bonehead Federal Cops.

Why else would someone send money to Three-Fingers Haji Gordon when they can send it direct to the contractor.

Three-Fingers Haji Gordon is not very bright to publicize his shonky business on line.

Because Three-Fingers Haji Gordon contracted the contractors as he said and was responsible for payment? Is that too easy to understand or do we need to complicate it more just so you can try and score points only you care about?

Setanta has exposed itself as a spokesman for Three-Fingers Haji Gordon.

The Three-Fingers Haji Gordon business arrangement looks shonky and it appears that the ATO has fingered Three-Fingers Haji Gordon as a suspect.

The uncle of Three-Fingers Haji Gordon has an apartment in Sydney and "up the coast" and has a daily limit of $ 5000 for bank transfers? Not credible.

One Coca Cola taken from the fridge just about every week by me for a few years. Caught on camera. Boss having bigger problems to deal with decided just to dock my pay for all the drinks I took.
