She went to the bank, Absa says its because her credit card was due that amount??
She told them she paid them R2500 just a day or two ago.
They say it can't be reversed

If they have already ran the statement they will take whatever is due regardless of what happens, your wife can just take back what she needs from the credit card, no?

Go make a case of theft at the police, take affidavit to absa ?
 
Has anyone ever had these clientele type calls, but before they send anything to you, they whant you account details. I suddenly got was a nice clientele , to a highly peeved one, when I gave them my details but fugged the last 4 digits, they try to run the stuff before you even get off the phone, then get angry with you, when they can't.....buggers
 
Just curious, how is everyone doing in regards to the scam, my unauthorized debit orders slowed down when the Standard Bank branches were closed and ultimately stopped, I have never had one in a very long time, not complaining of course.

Keen to hear other's experiences because I used to deal with at least one debit order every month.
 
Company Cell C
Amount R1150
How? In June I got an OTP delivered to my MTN contract number. I called Cell C and they said they'll block it. In July the amount was debited from my FNB account. I called Cell C and they said they can see on record that I called them and asked them to block any contracts in my name and number. They said I must make an affidavit stating that it's fraud. I sent the email and they don't reply. When I go to the store for them to give me details about how I took the contract they refuse to tell me which store.

For now I've blocked the debit. In a few months I'm sure I'll get black listed. Eish.
 
Company: Unknown
Amount 65.71

Yesterday I got a charge off my cheque account with the name of my ccard number. I thought it was interest off my credit card because I forgot to top it up for the month. Today I checked my account it was reimbursed under "EDO collection attempt". I'm really not sure what happened and I'm rather confused.

You hopefully reversed the debit order?
 
BP Victoria Road, Southfield. April 2022

Purchased R900 petrol using a bank card. When presented, the card would not "tap" so the petrol attendant went to fetch another card machine. This worked

Got back home. An hour later, there were 11 x R350,00 debits from "BoltZA" one after another. Had to visit (Capitec Bank) and had these reversed and got a new card.

Went back to the garage and spoke to the lady. She was most annoyed and aggressive and when I said it was possible that one of her staff was engaged in fraud, walked out the office and shut the door

Went to SAPS Diep River. Absolutely clueless. Their attitude was that if I had the debits reversed, there was no theft. The detective was called and said they do not handle financial crime and he did not know who did

Fast forward July. A friend told me essentially the same story. He had 9 x R350 debits from BoltZA on his FNB card within an hour of buying petrol at this same garage. His session with SAPS was similar. The garage lady told him it was nothing to do with her, he must speak to the bank. FNB were very helpful

So he called BP and spoke to someone who said they deal with complaints
