Stupid ppl are always smarter than you.

She stormed back to the branch, where she railed against Mr Wong, saying: “Despite my age, I’m very sharp. You’re not even as sharp as me. You are not doing me any favours.”

She also threatened to write to their chief executive, adding: “I’ll make sure you lose your job.”

If anyone worked in B2C businesses before as front line, you will know that such things are not too surprising. There are so many different type of people out there with so many forms of mentality and behavior that makes it so hard to predict or handle.

Kudos to this bank staffs. On the hand it is making legitimate transactions hardest by the days. Asking for marriage cert or wedding photo is a bit overboard.

The banks should stop helping "smart" people who wants to send their money overseas.

It's their money, they can do with it, whatever they liked.

It is not so simple.

For service professionals, they have a professional code of conduct where if through their experience and/or expertise sense something is not right, they have an obligation to advise/help or flag things out for further checks. This is how service professionals add value to the clients or to the system

An example of this is the recent money laundering case. The property agents who are  service professionals, have the obligation to use their expertise to flag things out if the behavior of the client or the source of funds seem suspicious. They cannot take the stand that they should not be busybody and how their client spend their money is not their problem.

Like most news, the context is seldom describe in depth. Usually news go straight to the outcome/findings with context being very brief.

So I believe there are some context/discussion/fact-finding behind  that led to the bank staff asking for the marriage cert/photo.  it is certainly not the norm for bank to ask marriage cert/photo before allowing withdrawals/transfer.

Smart old ppl looking for love kena stopped by stupid bank staff. Smart young ppl also looking for love but this time stupid bank staff didn't do their job to stop it. Either way it's always the stupid bank's fault.

A 27-year-old college student complained that he met a "beautiful woman" online, who took the initiative to develop a relationship and then lured him to make money, allowing him to transfer more than 40,000 in savings in one night. Now that his hard-earned money has been wasted, and he can't even pay for college tuition, the police are pursuing him.
