hedwards: Additionally, if something does go wrong, you don't get your money back easily. In this case I'd be somewhat worried about the possibility of the money being removed from the account after it's transferred.

kavazovangel: How? Or, what do you mean, exactly?
You can't get a chargeback or equivalent if there's no money left in the account. I'm not really sure why people are having such a hard time grasping that. Scammers love doing these sorts of transactions because banks tend to care less about money that isn't theirs.

wpegg: Sorry, you've confused me again, If it's been transfered, how would it then be removed?
That's precisely my point. With bank to bank transfers there's basically no safety net on the transactions unless the bank is itself responsible.

nagytow: Your best bet is to ring them and ask all the questions to the helpdesk guy. As useless as they are they should at least give you the reason for holding your funds and some time frames for releasing them.
I just did it. I just got an automated reply which tells me I should answer to them if my "questions are not on this message".

They'll likely refund it relatively quickly. They don't usually steal money they've been entrusted unless it's a huge sum of money. And I think it's usually when the money isn't coming from the EU.

I think where you live, it's probably regulated as a bank.

Thanks, I am very relieved now.
