Hello, ppl!
I want to notify you about probable scam of local banks.
As you know, NY is a crazy time, a lot of spends and so on - who cares how much they pay? This is the best time for any scam, especially if nobody think of you.
Problem: Monday I sat in office and was checking my statement: 10 min ago was... CASH WITHDRAWAL from my account! (I'm with Standard Bank) Of course, no any SMS notifications, because sh*ty owners too greedy to buy NORMAL banking system. Next is the facts of the case:
1. I didn't swipe card at any 'strange' places like a town, street sellers etc.
2. NOBODY knows my habit: usually I withdrawal R1000 at Cresta and do shopping (well, now it's not a secret
). Stolen money also was R1000 and were in Cresta! Only in one place you can get this info - in bank, using statement function. (BTW, all my posted statements I fire)
3. When I gone to stop my card (at their office), manager even didn't try to inspect the case - he just reset all my info (that idiot dropped all beneficiaries) and called for a new card. Seems, I'm not first who ask it??
4. Nobody knows my PIN, even my baby. The one case I use PIN is withdrawal, anytime else I pay by cash.
5. My friend (but who with FNB) had the same problem - somebody steal small money at holiday!
May be it sounds funny, unbeliveable, but everything can happen on Earth, especially if you have human on one side and money on another. So, be careful! Check your statement, watch spends and better to avoid useless local banks.
PS
My hairs were up when I found my account permanently decreased, instead of having %% of benefit! We bring money to bank, bank uses 'em, but instead you have only FEE! I wish 'em all to die by crisis.
