Someone I know almost lost $4K to a phone scammer. The bank teller who was helping him to withdraw the money started asking questions and was able to convince him to stop and think about what he was doing. I don't know if they would have flat refused to continue the transaction if he had insisted but fortunately, he did not.
Not quite the same as refusing to release the money for a check but another example of a bank at least trying to protect a customer from himself.
