An update on our work to prevent purchase scams

barclays have always been my most despised bank over the years for various reasons - maybe they have got wind of this and are dishing out punishment…

Did the customer chose they were paying into a business account though? Barclays gives you the option and often people chose the wrong one, I’d imagine the bank then bases their warning upon that

possibly not, despite me telling them, and I’ve added clear instructions on my invoice. but unfortunately a lot of people don’t look at the invoice carefully (if at all, apart from amount & account info) and non-it literate people struggle thru these sort of things generally. a lot of my customers I have known for years, but I know they would still be spooked by warning messages when paying me, they would think “something else” might be going on with the transaction. to be fair, having a bank they’ve never heard of doesnt help me - they like & trust the old traditional banks - the fools :wink:

I don’t know, that website is unusable for me on mobile. I just get ads that are trying to trick me into installing VPNs :grimacing:

Not much change here for Monzo - if they think you’re being scammed your already in for a 2-3 day wait for a specialist to ask you questions

I can just feel the “Monzo are holding the 15k payment I had coming in and now I can’t feed my kids” posts coming in
