You should have asked for a certified bank check.

[PoppyKendra]

Large wire transfers are held up to 10 business days to prevent fraud at the bank I work at and each time customers are pissed

If she was a victim of a scam, she would be chastising the bank for transferring the money too quickly.

[johnhmielewski]

Wow that's an awesome outcome! Happy for the lady.

A small amount of money should be transferred first and if that arrives in to the account then the big amount can follow.

The banks can do whatever they want to with your Money & there is nothing you can do.

I click this story and it’s on my exes block. Out of everywhere it could be in this big a$$ city.. Get out of my life, woman!

Same here. Tool 14 days to verify. Eventually money was in my account.
Banking process is strictly enforced.
Customers have to be patient.

She gave God the glory! I'm praying the same for $100, 000 that disappeared out of my bank with two fraudulent ACH transfers that I did not approve. I am so tired of the crooks.

[maamababelon]

the bank did not send her money simply because she black

[peggyglenn]

My attorney that was representing me in a car accident did wire fraud and identity theft in my name to the government. What should I do?

[Sardonic-Angel]

Child like minds don't understand laws that protect the public at large.. it's all about them

[martiwaterman]

I’ve seen far too many YouTube videos about people being scammed or catfished out of money, especially elderly people, that I’m siding with the banks for their security efforts.

[joefunk]

Thumbs down - not for the fortunate outcome but for the clickbait. Nothing “vanished”.

[overit]

So the Bank was basically trying to verify this wasn't a scam transfer. Isn't this what we want them to do.

[paraisoprincipessa]

Im glad gods voice was on her side great outcome bless her heart

[rookforce]

EWN poor reporting. Was it TD bank's FU or the cash app (ZELL) she used?

[helenthomas]

Now you just told everyone your business...

[DeadHandX]

This is just the beggining...physical money will vanish from the face of the earth and we will be forever enslaved!
