Re: Who is to blaim for being taken by scammers?
"Perhaps the host, twitter in this case, should be required to guaranty identity and be held responsible for abuses."
Perhaps a number of banks who should know better should stop treating customers as marketing opportunities and actually comply with their "we will not attempt to contact you via e-mail or phone with unsolicited messages" policies aimed at stopping fraud.
However, it is too late now. The only viable option is to make banks liable for compensation for customers affected by fraud unless the bank can provide evidence that the customer was a beneficiary in the fraudulent activity.
Nothing concentrates a banks desire to resolve an issue like the thought of compensating customers....
