My dad passed away 9:30am what more upsetting i can't grieve because i been on phone fraud squad over 2 hours as someone hacked into account trying steal money, they want me try flush out who responsible but it's not down me to do that. The fraud squad are monitoringing the account & any high amounts are red flagged, they closed his card & are sending my mom a new card as its a joint account but I'm worried sick, why haven't they got in touch with police why keep ringing me? Do i need report to police or leave it to fraud squad? I can't cope losing my dad & the stress of this on to it's killing me. I can't handle this, my dad died & i can't grieve because of this stress as well as recovering from covid. Hi Simon.
Very sorry to hear about your dad. That's dreadful news.
I'm praying for you and hope things will get better with recovering from Covid as well as the fraud business you're dealing with. You really don't deserve all these things early on in 2021.
Tim.

Do i need report to police or leave it to fraud squad? I can't cope losing my dad & the stress of this on to it's killing me. I can't handle this, my dad died & i can't grieve because of this stress as well as recovering from covid. No matter how old you are it is never an easy thing to lose a parent. My thoughts and heartfelt sympathies are with you and your family tonight. As for the other matter I'm sure the bank fraud team are not expecting you to take matters into your hands and flush out those responsible for the attempted fraud on your parents account (as you have rightly said it is not down to you) but I'm not 100% sure if they would report the incident to the police unless the fraud on the account was successful. So I would maybe suggest reporting what has happened to Action Fraud (the UK's fraud and cybercrime reporting centre) as soon as possible. The number is 0300 123 2040 or you can report it online - www.actionfraud.police.ukwww.citizensadvice.org.uk/debt-and-money/banking/banking-security-and-fraud/Above all Simon, don't feel the burden of responsibility is yours and yours alone in dealing with this. You're recovering from the virus, you need time and your own peace of mind and right now you need to grieve. If there is someone you can call on to help you with what has happened (your cousin perhaps?) then please, please do so. There is no shame in asking for help. I'll end this with another reminder that we are here if you need us to be.

In my previous job, there was a woman who had access to the petty cash tin.. She finally got caught stealing and promptly fired.. She is in the news today, prominent piece.. She worked in an Accounting firm.. she stole over $45K to fund her gambling and meth habit.. All with a baby she was raising..
Once you get that "bug" it's hard to shake.

Update.
Rang police they advised what to do, all a con this fraud squad, cancelled her card & mine, sending us both new cards, my online banking i also cancelled because i don't use it, so were now secure.
Been told probably keep ringing trying scare us our accounts being hacked just hang up, no 800 or 4,000 was ever tried to be taken from account.
I got suss last night why he wanted try catch those responsible saying don't want em steal any more money.
Relief at last just don't want any harassing calls

I can't tell you how sorry I am to hear of your news Simon. My deepest condolences, and may his memory be a blessing to you always. Please take care of yourself, both physically and mentally.
And I'm glad you were able to get that other issue resolved.

My boy started Government Kindergarden this week as the new school year officially started Monday 25th. He learned a new phrase "snitches get stitches" on day 2.. Obviously he is getting headhunted in joining the kindy gang, and is being told what happens when someone reports/dobs/lags on you, so let that be a lesson
LOLZ

Ok.. Another department much higher up has been "stalling" on some non-negotiable Legalese information, which impacts my department's ability to do our work.. Communication on their end is..."slack" to put it kindly (u know how it is the higher up you are at an Executive level the less you have to deal with people below you)..
A rather legit rude and curt email was sent directly to me, cc'd into his department and mine. Now because I am me, and I don't take kindly to rudeness either face-to-face or in written form I responded verry politely professional.. I also don't take kindly to people whether "higher or lower in the food chain" trying to throw me under the bus. As I am festidious and OCD in keep paper/email trails to CMA (Cover My @$$) I presented said documents in my response.

So sorry that you have lost your Father amidst all the circumstances of the Virus and the attempted fraud business. Only a few months after you lost your Cousin too. I hope you and your Mother are coping as best as can be expected and that things go well in the coming days. Take care, Simon.
