hedwards: Additionally, if something does go wrong, you don't get your money back easily. In this case I'd be somewhat worried about the possibility of the money being removed from the account after it's transferred.
kavazovangel: How? Or, what do you mean, exactly?
You can't get a chargeback or equivalent if there's no money left in the account. I'm not really sure why people are having such a hard time grasping that. Scammers love doing these sorts of transactions because banks tend to care less about money that isn't theirs.

wpegg: Sorry, you've confused me again, If it's been transfered, how would it then be removed?
That's precisely my point. With bank to bank transfers there's basically no safety net on the transactions unless the bank is itself responsible.
