True, I also wondered what gave them the first clue to the fake transfer alert.

I agree, that alert looked fishy—suspect traders caught something like wrong bank code or mismatched names.

It's surprising the bogus alerts went unnoticed until after goods changed hands, revealing serious verification gaps in both banks and vendors.

Markets should crosscheck transfer alerts with banks before releasing goods, perhaps by calling a quick verification code or a shared vendor registry to confirm payments.
