Ian Williams wakes up one morning to find $1,338 has been stolen from his account via two Google Pay transactions. Two years later, he's taking on NAB at the Supreme Court, with no lawyers to help him.

Hate how NAB responded and hate old guy who got scammed and blames bank

When NAB told Williams he was responsible for the missing $1,338 on that cool spring morning back in 2022, he wasted little time trying to prove them wrong.

Obviously it wasn't him, this was a shit investigation and should have shown up immediately, the fact he went way further than he needed to shows NAB were being dicks

Williams did receive text messages a few days before the fraudulent transaction went through, with a passcode for him to confirm he wanted to add his card to a new Google Pay account.

He was the one who fucked up ultimately

But there should be a heavier push on banks to deal with fraud and scams, if they don't then people may as well use buttcoin, when you fall for a scam there it's gone for good
