The Day I Put $50,000 in a Shoe Box and Handed It to a Stranger I never thought I was the kind of person to fall for a scam.

I'm sort of shocked that the bank let this person make that kind of withdrawal. I would have assumed it would set off some kind of internal alarm bells or audit reports or something.
Usually banks don't let people withdraw huge amounts in cash for this exact reason - to protect their customers from scams - but maybe that's less common in The Land Of The Free. "It's my money, I'll spend it how I want!" Idk.
I'm surprised the bank even had that much cash on hand, usually you need to order taking that much out in advance.
I think the line is "It's my money, and I want it now!"
I took $600 out of my account last week to buy something off Craigslist and my bank called me about it
It's likely she has a fuckload of money in other accounts for investments etc so it didn't go over the threshold.
