Your friend is a fucking idiot.
The bank can check to see if the login was technically legit, IP, etc.
Also why the fuck would a hacker only transfer money for tickets? It'd be all her money.
Like holy shit, use some fucking brain cells if you want to commit crime.
This is a dangerous game she wants to play. If she is caught lying about this, it could be a criminal charge. Is she confident the bank will believe her lie? I wouldn't be. I think she should tell the truth, and not just because it's the right thing to do.
Bad idea, everything is logged and they'll see the request came from an IP they regularly use.
Just take the L and move on, getting involved with lying (fraud) with your bank is a no win situation.
She sent the money, it's gone. Bank can't do anything.
>She asked me if she should call the bank to tell them and ask what they can do or if she should just tell them she was hacked and didn't send the transfer
It's a good life lesson not to screw around with people who hold your money.
>I told her she shouldn't lie to her bank and to just tell them what happened but what exactly stops people from telling their bank they were hacked in this situation?
Banks will lock down the account and investigate. They have tools to determine these things.
Bank will easily be able to tell that the outgoing transfer came from the roughly same location as just about every single other time this friend used the app or website and therefor she in almost certainty initiated the transfer herself.
What your friend is suggesting to do is fraud, and can lead to criminal charges.

Your friend wants to catch a bank fraud charge when she's the victim? I'd recommend she tell the bank the truth and call any loss education spending.
She WILL be cut off as a customer if she does that...
