News by Vanda Carson Premium Content  A Bank of Queensland branch manager who was sacked for mistakenly transferring $37,500 to a fraudster when inundated by "panicking" senior citizens during the pandemic, has won her case for unfair dismissal. Kylie Smith, the Nambour branch manager, was sacked on May 8 last year for transferring the money to the scammer's Commonwealth Bank account a month earlier, on April Fools day. Only $7500 was recovered by the Bank of Queensland. She said at the time she made the mistake the Nambour branch was experiencing the peak impact of Covid-19, with their "older customer base which does not like to do online banking" coming to "withdraw large amounts of cash ranging from $10,000 to $50,000 because they were panicking".
