Durban-based Nav Chan started questioning FNB's eBucks rewards calculations. They just didn't make sense. Weeks later his accounts were cancelled and he found himself listed on a secretive banking database operated by SA Fraud Prevention Services.

“inconsistent information contained in the bank statements and salary advises (sic)

The bank also reserved its right to press criminal charges of fraud against Chan.

identically worded termination letters from Kulula and Discovery.

Seriously fckin dodgy behaviour by FNB there - if true. :erm:

Would love to hear FNB's side of the story too though. Also...didn't know banks could silently "black-list" via this database.

Smells fishy, I'm sure there is something else to this story. I doubt very much a bank would purposefully make up a story like this.
 
Very bloody dodgy on FNB's part if this is true.

FNB actually need to answer this article if you ask me, it raises some very unpleasant questions.
I would also like to know what sort of inconsistencies Nav Chan saw on his eBucks statements.
 
Oh please, like a big company like FNB is going to risk bad publicity over one guy's questions.
 
Then they contacted the Illuminati, who subsequently turned him into a Lizard Man. This story stinks.
 
My Dad won't have anything to do with them because of similar behaviour.
He had stood surety for someone else, and when that person went under FNB just instituted legal action against him without even phoning him to ask if he was able to settle.
At the court case my Dad's advocate told the judge that his client had been willing to settle from the start.
The judge gave FNB a lengthy chewing out and laid the legal costs on them.
 
I'm also starting to note things out of place with them, sure they got some things going for them, but some things just doesn't make sense.

That was my first reaction too.

Its published on acts.co.za though so I'd not dismiss it out of hand...given that they're pretty much the de facto public source for legal info them publishing this gives it at least some credibility. Personally I think the story is perhaps not 100% but definitely a smoke >>> fire situation.

Personally I'm also a little miffed about the structure as a whole (i.e. *all* banks with a secret database). If FNB does stuff like this I doubt the other 3 big banks and entirely innocent.
 
How one man's life was ruined after asking uncomfortable questions of FNB

Durban-based Nav Chan started questioning FNB's eBucks rewards calculations. They just didn't make sense. Weeks later his accounts were cancelled and he found himself listed on a secretive banking database operated by SA Fraud Prevention Services. Suddenly, his access to credit dried up, his business tanked and his financial reputation was in ruins. This is what happens when you get on the wrong side of the banks.

Reading up on this, a few other banks blacklisted him too before moving ! That raises serious issues.

Firstly, reading the uSpike article, how did Nav see e-Bucks as "Bucks" !

Come on !!! Seriously
 
Guy named Nav Chan.

FNB starts drama with him, then they introduce Nav Life, Nav Car and Nav House.

Pretty clear what they were planning all along.
