I wasn’t correcting you. They are registered in the EU but not in the UK as far as I can tell and these complaints are from people in the UK. Maybe they have been approved but not completed the process yet.

Here is their page on the FCA https://register.fca.org.uk/s/firm?id=001b000002zyAwNAAU and it says under activities and services that they are registered for payment services and e-money but it doesn’t say that they do banking. It also says that they are not covered by the financial services compensation scheme.

If you look at the page for Barclays Bank (https://register.fca.org.uk/s/firm?id=001b000003WgItdAAF) you can see that it says that they do banking and are covered by the scheme.

But whether they are a bank or not, they definitely failed in their fraud prevention duties when they failed to detect and block 137 transactions to three new contacts in an hour.

They aren’t a bank in the UK.

This article from about a week ago says that another guy was scammed and the scammers set up three new payees and made 137 payments totalling £165,000 within an hour to those payees. That definitely looks suspicious and should have been blocked.

Also, that victim tried to contact Revolut but they don’t have a fraud phone line and the only way to contact them is by sending messages from within the app and it took nearly 25 minutes for him to get the account frozen. That simply isn’t good enough.

Finally, that article says that Revolut has more reports of fraud against them than any other bank having 25% more than the next highest bank.

Because people are stupid and gullible and need protecting.

Revolut should be watching for suspicious transactions and blocking them like proper banks are required to do.

I think that from a legal point of view there is no difference between the two. If you do an Alford plea then you still can’t appeal because you pleaded guilty.

The harsh and mild sentence part is a negotiation. The prosecution is interested in getting a plea deal because it saves time and resources and the defendant is interested in getting a lighter sentence if they’re pretty confident that they’ll be convicted anyway.

That bed is a Murphy bed that folds up into that cabinet at the head of the bed. The straps aren’t to hold a person in place, they hold the mattress and bedding in place when it’s packed away.

If we could have opted out of migration rules then Brexit might not have happened.

We still have the UK implementation of GDPR. That didn’t go away when we left the EU.

We won’t have any changes to it that might have happened since brexit but we didn’t remove the law either.

He’s supposed to be opening another golf resort so maybe he’ll come for the grand opening and we can nab him then.

I always find the statement “we care about your privacy” to be a bit meaningless when they then say that they’ll share data with 100s of partners.

I’m the same. I stopped trying to name colours a long time ago.

I am colour blind and the first one was the easiest to see by far. My wife couldn’t make it out even when I showed her where the lines were.

I used to use a custom DNS solution using Amazon Route 53 (which I already used for my websites) and a Let’s Encrypt certificate. It worked ok but was pretty technical to set up.

Then I switched ISP and the new one doesn’t allow incoming connections by default so I use Nabu Casa. It was super simple to set up and works perfectly and, imo, well worth the cost.
