    Why would you wire hundreds of thousand of dollars to a bank in Hong Kong & China, when Amazon is an American company with its head office in Seattle, Washington.

    They always blame the bank for their own stupidity.

  • @naylor2000

    I don’t see how this the banks fault.

  • @sheanick6437

    It’s not the bank’s fault if you actually sent the money yourself!

    I get so fed up of people not taking accountability for their own mistakes.

  • @rachelwinter1404

    They gave away $700 thousand dollars. The bank is not responsible for their lost!

  • @XactlyCeSe1

    I'm sorry.... You've been living on Earth for all these decades and you can't believe someone would lie with that level of bad faith? In what bubble have you spent your life?

    Why should the bank be responsible for his stupidity?

  • @jadedelarge8929

    I usually feel sorrier and angrier when scammers target older people, as sometimes, they are not as savvy with technology, but the actions of this man are right down irresponsible and stupid. No common sense whatsoever.

    I just heard about a 76 year old man who sold his house for $800,000 only to lose the money within a week. He was told he won $17m in sweepstakes, but before receiving the money, he had to pay taxes on it. And so... he conveniently transferred his life savings to a stranger without talking to anyone. I feel sorry for him but that was greed written all over it. Even at 76, use your brain! 😡😡😡

  • @supers1057

    Being elderly does not mean you are not responsible for your actions! Who in the world goes to his bank and wire transfer his life savings to Amazon in China!

    My father got scammed 5k when he wired a scammer that money as a processing fee to collect a million dollar sweepstakes win. He got what he deserved for being a greedy bastard. Why would I blame the bank for this? I blame him for being greedy
