It's there.After spending some time skimming through countless dross I could not actually find an article relating to Revolutr
I suspect it is just highlighting cases that could be attested to ANY major credit card ?
Out of interest why do you think the bank should take responsibility?It's there.
Very scary fraud case on Livline today. Revolute account raided along with P.Office a count.
They set up an automatic transfer on her post office acc which transferred to her revolute account and then they robbed her revolute.
She managed to stop it after first transfer but got little help from either banks.
How did they know she has so much money in post office acc???????
Quite a clever operation.
She got an email from Revolute telling her that SHE had set up the auto transfer. By pure chance she heard the email come in on her phone at 1 a.m. She did manage tobget her account frozen.
She had difficulty getting either bank to take any responsibility. She did not take any actions prior to event, she didn't click on any links or such.
Why do you think they shouldn't.Out of interest why do you think the bank should take responsibility?
Her accounts were hacked, no fault of hers.
If you ask me using the Internet safely should be part of the national curriculum, but as you say, in so many cases people fall foul of scams through sheer stupidity.1) They aint even spelling is correct.... it is REVOLUT
2) 99.99% of these cases boil down to the total STUPIDITY of the ones scammed, emphasised by the inability to spell
3) I fail to see WHY banks should cover deficits caused by peoples moronic behaviour ( most common being clicking links from emails but many many other pathetically stupid things
I am sorry to be so vociferous but I see it time and again..
If you want to play with big kids toys ( such as the internet ) you either do it properly or pay the consequences
No, they were NOT hacked, she gave them the required information
Hacking an account means to decipher the account details, not be handed them on a plate
For a small fee I'll do it for you.So..er…any idea how I get to add to my revolut card from someone else’s bank? Just asking like.
Or theirs??Why do you think they shouldn't.
Her accounts were hacked, no fault of hers.
She gave them nothing at all.1) They aint even spelling is correct.... it is REVOLUT

Their system is meant to be secure!Or theirs??
The ‘banks’ can’t be the fall back or to blame every time someone is scammed. Trust me (I have some experience in this area) when I say that the huge majority of financial scams are due to ‘user error’ or gullibility. Yes these bastards prey on the vulnerable but none of this makes it the banks responsibility. That is like blaming the police when someone gets burgled.Their system is meant to be secure!
She didn't click on any links.If you ask me using the Internet safely should be part of the national curriculum, but as you say, in so many cases people fall foul of scams through sheer stupidity.
There can't be many people now who don't understand the risks in following Internet links blindly, buying from dubious websites or responding to emails that are unsolicited.
The old saying "if it seems too good to be true then it quite probably is" could've been created for the Internet.
Just as you can use the Internet to find "bargains" and unmissable "opportunities", so you can use the same Internet to find out if they're scams.
She says she didn't click on any links or make any purchases from dodgy sites or disclose any personal data/passwords or have unsolicited telephone conversations with anyone without checking out that they were who they said they were Or make payment over the telephone including stating the CVC number on the card
It IS secure.... you are saying they spent countless hours working out her pass codes ?Their system is meant to be secure!
1.Where did they get all her account details from..?She didn't click on any links.
