"I was scammed by a fraud so ingenious even bank staff were fooled."

If the bank staff are fooled by the fraud, the bank should have to make good the loss.

That's how it used to be. It was the bank's responsibility to detect and stop fraud, not the customer's. If the bank failed to do this, the loss was to the bank.

With internet banking, banks redefined this. Instead of "fraud against the bank", they decided to call it "identity theft", a crime against the customer. Which means that the customer loses the money instead of the bank.

This is one reason I don't do internet banking. The other reason is that I would have to run nonfree Javascript code.
