Re: Someone's telling porkies! (International transaction troubles)

Can't be worse than a bank teller in Australia who sent some fundraising money that was supposed to go to Niger (west Africa)...to Nigeria!

The money came back minus the loss in bank charges and exchange rates...we were not impressed!...but some would say we should be just glad we got most of our money back...
My dad tried to transfer a pile of cash to me, and the bank teller at Lloyds wrote the destination address as ..... Zurich, Sweden.
Fortunately someone did wonder why an Englishman wanted to send an amount of Swiss Francs to Sweden, and the transaction gathered dust in a "To Do" box for 4.5 weeks until he went in and asked wtf. is going on?!!

Cheers

Jim
