United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

If it's all authorised like this, it is technically a legit transaction. Revolut should have flagged it up for review though as per the article. I think card transactions are a bit different, as usually they don't need to be authorised in the app, but this sounds like he spoke to a scammer, transferred them some money, handed out a 2FA code (something which banks always say "don't give this to anyone, not even us"), and then was surprised when lots of money was transferred out of his account. I'm not sure Revolut are at fault here (other than not putting a hold on the transactions when they started to look out of character, but honestly the account was compromised by then anyway)
