Because it would be in breach of the agreement with the depositor.

&quot;Block all overseas transactions for people who have no history of sending money overseas&quot;

That would also be a breach of the agreement with the depositor.

&quot;why are the Telcos not blocking the foreign calls?&quot;

What foreign calls do you say should be blocked?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every month the banks charge a fee of $5.00 just to enable customers to have an account.  What is that money being used for?

Hilarious says: I am in agreement with your suggestion/question regarding &quot;banks not placing a hold on suspicious transactions...&quot;

Is there a transaction cancellation time period allowed to enable customers to block a fraudulent transaction?

All I can suggest is not engaging with the callers.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The most vulnerable are falling for scams, with providers offering no protection. 

So, with all this being known, AGAIN, why are the banks not placing a hold on suspicious transactions, emailing the persons, and then following up by phone for approval? It is not rocket science. Block all overseas transactions for people who have no history of sending money overseas, etc. Come on, banks, look after your customers! 

The lack of a personal touch and total indifference are causing scams to be successful.  

So with all this being known, AGAIN, why are the Telcos not blocking the foreign calls? Foreign Internet calls from known scamming countries, etc?  The filtering technology is not new.  It is not rocket science.]]></description>
