Bank card and fake bank advisor scams have become a real scourge in recent years. If the law requires banks to reimburse their customers in the event of bank fraud, it is not always easy to obtain compensation.

If it depends on the type of scam, “there is always a way to get reimbursed,” says lawyer Maxime Delespaul. “Invoke the liability of the bank’s bank,’ says the lawyer. If legal action remains most reliable recourse, at least partial reimbursement of the lost sum is necessary.
