Let’s get back on topic - there are plenty of other topics to discuss scams and with @AlanDoe back shortly then I’d like to demonstrate I have managed to stop the place imploding 
Edit: I’ve cleaned the topic up now. Let’s focus on the topic - mentions in the media.

“Niall explained the thief had taken out a £7,000 loan in his name from HSBC, transferring all of the cash to his Monzo account, and had then taken it all. Transactions showed the thief had gone on a “spending spree” in an Apple store, he added.”
“While Monzo reimbursed Niall around £14,000 of the stolen money, he told the BBC the £7,000 fraudulent loan had yet to be written off by HSBC.”
Monzo come out better in this article than HSBC, though I still fail to see how the thief emptied his Monzo account, even with alleged transactions at Apple. Surely the victim’s authorised access to the phone doesn’t last forever. Mine stops as soon as the screen goes off and needs authorisation again 
For clarity, I am not saying this didn’t happen, just that I cannot understand how it happened.

Having dismissed the Year in Monzo notification after watching it, can you get back to it?

Thanks @Revels. No treat for me. Must be on Santa’s naughty list.
And it’s probably an age thing but what do they mean by “2024 was a mood”?

Also on the naughty list lol, max user and mostly my main account. Wonder what the criteria is
You’re excluded for the Greggs offer if you’re on a paid plan
Even a paid plan which doesn’t include Greggs (Extra)? Bah, humbug! 
Right, I can’t get Greggs but I want Nandos. How do you ‘opt in to rewards?’
This is so much badly thought out nonsense.
No, but I’m a high spender with Monzo. I’ll say it again - it’s bullshit.
It’s probably more of a scandal than the Starling Easy Saver fiasco, which I WAS eligible for

Possibly.
Didn’t know if it was being discussed in one of the many muted threads I have in here, hence dropped in this one.
I know this thread is normally external references to Monzo in the media.
Thanks, but I see no reference to the social media image in that thread (which I muted 24h ago as the challenge doesn’t interest me)
