My brother, your money is not save in that account/bank. The first thing you should do to be on the safe side, transfer all your money to another account first before any other account. Should incase any of ur friends have gotten access to your card info without you knowing. So that they don't go there the second time.

This happened to me with firstbank 2yrs ago.
10k just disappeared from my account with no email notification nor Sms alert.
I was told my card was used for an online transaction, that I must have exposed my PAN. I argued that there was no way someone would get my PAN, my Security and my pin from my memory to initiate such transactions.
From what they said, it was used for 4 different transaction of about 2500 each, but I queried them how come I got no alert for the transactions, not even one alert both email alert and sms alert, if I was careless and take the blame of having exposed my card details then who takes the blame for the failed alert delivery which I pay for monthly? That was when they said that they sent out the alerts but that my phone inbox must have been full or my network provider had issue at the time. Then I asked them what was responsible for the failed email alert, that they had no answer to that.


They will try all possible means to deny there shortcomings and lapses if you have the time , the legal prowness and media resources they will be forced to settle it to avoid bad image.
Don't overlook it because it's 2k, it's about the principle.

There is no small crime, go to EFCC and don't mind the cost. How many people they do that for in a day is known to God only. There are too many rogues in the banks nowaday. The same thing happened to me at Access Bank in Ibadan and when EFCC came in they got the cashier and many customers whose accounts were deducted illegally under the guise of service charges with paltry sums like N62, N100, in their thousands and they made refund of my money and I claimed N9,500 for transport and they paid. I have since resulted to using cheque and moved my lump sums out of the bank to another bank.
EFCC Ibadan right?
Hmmm

Just insist that you NEVER withdrew the said N2,000 and that if this issue is not sorted by the bank since you did not make any withdrawal from the bank, that you will go to the media print and also AIT and Channels to report this case. Too inform them that you will contact a lawyer to this effect. Since they said that it was your ATM, they should provide the video since every ATM machine supposed to have a hidden camera.

That you have now suffered psychological trauma over this issue and will seek legal redress and anything spent must be paid by the bank.

It is the bank that took the money. Insist and call for your statement of account to note the time of the said withdrawal.

Re: I Got Defrauded By My Bank by Hotguy27: 8:10pm On Jun 23, 2015
I want to sincerely advise you to calm down and request for the footage of the transaction. I have seen a case where a customer had a similar experience and insisted that she was not the one that withdrew the money and that no one could have access to her ATM card. Luckly, there was a clear CCTV footage that recorded how her childhood friend went and withdrew 22k out of her 45k available balance. Their 26 yr friendship came to an end as her friend also admitted being responsible for many of her belongings that got missing mysteriously. Someone close to you might be responsible. Also, check if you attempted withdrawing such amount on the date of the transaction, it might have been a dispense error but you never knew. Finally, insist on getting to the root of the matter and don't forget to give us feedback. Goodluck!

this is common practice with banks, and they won't send alerts for such deductions. That's how the banks maximize profit, by fraud. Imagine N2000 taken from 1million customers unawares. that's already 2 billion. they always do, and in fact I'm a victim to this type of fraud. I always demand refund even when its only N400.

Cameras don't lie.

Ask them if it's an ATM withdrawal or a counter withdrawal.

If u get the time, tell them to show you camera footage.

Most of those cameras Dont save images.

Last week Thursday I deposited 70,000 naira into a new account I tend to open and operate with DIAMOND BANK up to this minute of uploading this comment I've not received any sms alert according to them that I would be sent an sms stating my account number and the credit alert of the deposited sum. Actually, I've sent a mail to their customer service unit in their head-office waiting for their response and giving them enough time to have a say in the matter. The duplicate copy of the deposit slip is still with me kampee!

Re: I Got Defrauded By My Bank by CaptPlanet(m): 8:22pm On Jun 23, 2015
Diamond bank style!


If you insist, they'll claim it's for servicing your account.

They did it to me several years ago. I was stranded at gwagwalada sometime so I asked my cuz to pay in 5k into my diamond bank acc. He did abd I got the alert.

On getting to the bank, I saw about 3k smthg, I cldnt believe it. Here I was, looking for cash to pay for a room and survive one more day since the main cash was coming the following day. When I complained, the cows told me that they deducted the money for servicing the acct since more than 5k wasn't in the acct since.
I jejely, took my 3.5k and left and that was the last day I used that acct.
Re: I Got Defrauded By My Bank by laboguashi(m): 8:22pm On Jun 23, 2015
OP, thank your stars o. When I was in the banking industry, a senior staff at interswitch had a nasty experience. His account was debited via ATM a few mins to 12 on Friday night, then a few mins after 12 on sat morning.

The account was debited a few mins to 12 on sunday night and a few mins after 12 on Monday. 4 good transactions over the weekend.

Unfortunately for him, no branch was open where he could lodge a complain for the account to be blocked and all the while, his ATM card was with him.

Fraudulent transactions like that brought about the switch from magnetic stripe cards to chip cards.

I bank with Access Bank. I was having N153, 265.00. I withdrew N5,000.00 last week Monday. On Friday last week, I went to the branch at Iyana Ipaja to pay back the N5,000, only for me to receive an alert that my balance is N151,265.00.

I went to the bank and requested for my statement of account which was printed out. On the statement, I found out that N2,000 was withdrawn on the Tuesday of that week. I quickly told them I wasn't the one and they told me it must have been done by someone whom I usually send to withdraw in my stead. They ruled out fraud claiming that if it were to be fraud, the person would have wipped my account clean. Funny enough, my ATM card was with me throughout, and I didn't even receive any SMS alerting me of the debit that day. We have been arguing since in the bank. I know this is an internal job from the bank. Please guys, how do I go about this? I want them to know they don't just go around messing with people's money simply because they are 'common man'.

Everyone blabbing here does not know wat dey call a dispense error. It's possible u tried ur card on a POS or ATM and u got dat error message telling u of network downtime or Switch user inoperative...... U might get debited & u won't even know...
Tell d bank to do deir investigation & give u the feedback..... Better still, just call d customer care for assistance.... Den pls come back to dis same page to give us d testimony. U can't just tarnish someone's reputation openly den wen d issue get resolved u just sweep d feedback unda d carpet after u ve succeeded in giving people a false opinion about an Establishment.....
I don't believe a bank will soil her hand because of 5k...

This does not look like or smell like fraud, even internal fraud. I presume you 'withdrew' the money at atm or in a branch. There will be a time stamp. Then with the help of alibi, if any, the bank will resolve it. Banks treat internal fraud more seriously than external ones. Don't panic. Don't withdraw your money. Your account is now more secure than others, because it is under investigation. Good luck!
