It's because most of the scammers aren't operating from this country so our Government has very limited powers to track them down and bring them to justice. We have to work with several other Governments and put the scammers into their jails. Some of those Governments, such as Russia, are not...

Contact your bank before you make such a payment, not after. If it doesn't seem right it probably isn't. How many times do we have to say this?

Surely this is not banking fraud? The bank did nothing wrong and should not be obliged to use other people's money to reimburse somebody who did something very foolish.

Agreed. If the Banks have to compensate people for their foolishness they would have to use other people's money - our money, and that's not acceptable.

At my golf club, I believe that the club's insurance covers damage to neighbouring property for members and their guests. Non-members are liable for any damage - if you can identify them.

Years ago, a friend of mine believed you shouldn't have sex while pregnant because the baby might be born with bumps on its head.

This doesn't need to happen in this country if only our naive and foolish politicians and executives listen to the right people. We have plenty of gas. We just need to withhold enough for domestic use before we export. We need to sanction new gas field development instead of trying to stop...

There's nothing incorrect about it. British father, British citizenship, British education, British career - therefore fully entitled to be considered British.

The suggested alternatives are fine for personal letters between friends and family but the so-called 'old fashioned' terms are still expected and appropriate for business purposes. Furthermore, 'Yours faithfully' is correct for business letters. 'Yours sincerely' is more personal.

Sad as it may be, I don't believe that Banks should be held accountable for simple scams like the 'Hi Mum' scam. How could they possible prevent or intervene in a transaction they knew nothing about and had absolutely no control over until the customer realized their mistake and complained...

It's not clear from this report how the incident happened. It may have been an unfortunate accident. It seems that the passenger exacerbated the incident by refusing help so don't be too quick to judge or misjudge the airline.

Looks like a good start but we've got a loooonnnnng way to go.

B******! They should have added a couple of 0s to that fine.

Has that guy been seen recently? There's only 2 kinds of crocs that I stay well away from - them saltwater ones and them freshwater ones.

I'm glad the little fellow was discovered before the veg was sliced up. Hope he got home safely.

Check your passport very carefully for even the slightest damage. A few incidents have been reported on this SDC forum that people have been denied passage or entry to Bali for seemingly insignificant damage to their passport.

Why did the authorities think he had a bomb in his backpack? Wasn't it checked by security before boarding the plane? Questions should be asked about the security checks if we don't have the belief that it's working effectively.

Well done Jess. $513.04 minus $238.54 = $274.50. That's the saving.

WHY is this story on social media? it is so obviously an unfortunate mistake that it should be reported to the supermarket service desk. There is no benefit in broadcasting it on social media - except to make somebody feel important perhaps?
