No need to panic; it`s a global internet banking issue - that only seems to have affected Hamilton!

Thought something similar happened with Accies a few years ago ?

What an opportunity we missed in 2014.

Vastly different scenario.

They were defruaded nearly £900,000 - on a `phone call to Accies office an admin staff member was persuaded to transfer the cash to an alternative "safe" account.

The scammer purported to be from the bank`s security department - and was totally successful.

How the club employee was authorised to make such a huge transaction without confirmation from a senior board member is beyond understanding IMO.

The £900k story sounded a bit Jay from the Inbetweeners tbh. Who transfers £900k without multiple checks?!

If that accies person who transferred £900k had previously worked at Dundee we might have tried to sign them!

Accies directors tried to partly blame the RBS and sought to sue them - not sure how that turned out though.

This despite the fact that RBS security department had blocked TWO initial attempts to fraudulently transfer funds, of 40 and 70 grand respectively and suspended the account.

The club employee was then conned by the scammer into making subsequent transactions and ignoring the red flag warnings.
