Is there not a security concern of doing basic checks before handing out cash?
For instance, elderly woman gets a text message telling her the IRS needs $50k cash or they’ll take her house. The bank says they need a few days, she complains that the IRS wants it now…and then they help explain that it’s likely a scam.
Yes, typically. I don't know if that trumps "the bank has to give you your money when you ask for your money."
