It is not a scam, this is how banking works.
Probably the receiver's bank did not received the details of payment because you add unnecessary information to the transfer (and banks probably are ignoring the most important part with numbers).
My answer at your Reddit thread.So you are telling me that because there are a few words infront of "FFC ACC.9311.23733 ACC ID S59357E" my 1500 is lost? Maybe they should warn about this? Damn, I just wanted to make it MORE easy for them, not screw it up.
So I guess all I can do is wait now?
