If you have been a victim of financial scams: immediately call your bank's scam hotline, or the National Scam Response Centre (NSRC) at 997.

Debit card or bank account like 99% gone.
Especially if victim is tricked to authorize the transaction. Bank won't refund any amount.
The scammer transverse the money via money mule and quickly cash out ald.

Normally chances will be almost 0%. Most of the time the criminal would have use up all the money by then. Btw, can tell more details on what happened?

He invested in a dropshipping business model site, made few transfers to the site bank accounts and was able to withdraw once, now withdrawal got blocked and the customer service asked to top up more money to unblock.

If this is the scenario, then sorry to say the chance of getting back the money is zero. Hopefully it is not a big amount.

If the investigation is proven that your family member was the willing party and initiated the transfer, then there is very little likelihood that money will be recovered. If there was an issue with the banking app or where the bank was at fault, then yes, money can be retrieved.

havnt you watch any Scam Movie/documentary??
Those pros 1, within 5 sec clear the fund received.

The ultimate CORE LOGIC in ANY FINANCE AND BANKING SYSTEM.
Transaction IS HOLY.

If because you feel you being scam/love scam/financial scam or whatever.
As long as you made the decision to MAKE THAT TRANSACTION.

Bank will see it as FINAL.


Just imagine, if this getting momentum, Bank help reverse transaction because of people "[B]REGRET IT"[/B]
Welcome the golden era of Crypto. Bank = Useless.

I hope this is implemented some day. All this user's post seem to be AI generated. Doesn't add anything to the forum.

The 1st ability to withdraw is the bait. That is to remove the doubt & comvince the victim the “scam” is genuine. The moment the victim get hook, they will “farm” you.
