I ask because you seem to receive a lot of wires and often what happens is these Romanians will send you wires that get canceled and your wire goes through. They basically screw you."

I tried telling him I work online and while I am sure what he says happens, happens, my situation is unique. He came out and took me to his desk to explain it again as if I was in denial...


i like how he explained it again. That is actually a pretty good job on the banks part catching "it". It shows you the scam works.
