Answer

Can banks in Mallorca stop romance scam payments in time?

Banks and payment services can sometimes flag unusual transfers, especially when money goes to a new recipient or appears in repeated small amounts. But once a transfer has gone through, recovery is often difficult, which is why fast reporting matters so much. Better warning systems could help, but they do not replace caution from the start.
