I want to withdraw cash from my savings account. How much can I withdraw at one time without looking like I am trying to scam someone? We are getting ready to take a trip and want to have cash on the trip.

Withdrawing a substantial sum from your account shouldn't be a problem, and it's more likely that you would look like you were the victim of a scam than the scammer. If the bank teller is inquisitive, you should be able to just say you're using the cash for a vacation and leave it at that. Don't go into details about when or for how long or even where you're going. It's great to share the experience after you return, but you shouldn't advertise the fact you'll be away and when.
