CAPITEC BANK DOES NOT HAVE MY BACK AS A PENSIONER

I am a senior citizen. I got ****med on Facebook. With a offer for Shein. A debt order ran for R56.96. I went onto secure chat. Capitec bank secure chat informed me to email my concern. Then on my follow up I was given another instruction. Then again on day 3 when another amount went off my bank account. Another instruction. I got very angry because by now around R320 was *****ulently taken from my accountv. The amount showed pending. But my own bank could not stop this transaction. I eventually got so angry with the agent, because it made no sense as to what I was told. I asked for his supervisor, very helpful. But I have lost this money. Why can my bank not have my back. I disputed the amounts and was told to email. Then only after pushing the matter was I helped. But the scanners got my money. I must now wait for 30 to 45 days to see if Capitec can get my money back. Tell me as a pensioner, do I have 30 to 45 days to eat. Capitec bank does not have my back.

I was called by Silo on 19th of April, he promised to call me back by 1pm on 19th. NEVER DID. He also said he would email his contact details NEVER DID. I went to Princess Avenue Benoni Branch, was promised by a lady who called herself Princess that I would not have to pay R70 charges. Only to find out that was a lie, I was charged. I have spent hours on whatsapp chat of Capitec trying to get help. Phoned the complaints line, was redirected then cut off. Called the branch manager of Princess Avenue. She was totall unprofessional even refused to give name. I asked her 3 times, as I wanted to send a complaint via email. Spent over an hour with Bongi Only to be told go back to the manager who refused to give me her name. Total unprofessional staff and they have **** to me. WHERE DOES THESE STAFF STAND ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS TYPE OF BEHAVOR.????

I had to report the matter to Ombadsman got a reply, submitted my application with my evidence.
Nkolisa from Capitec said would call me back never. Silo called said would call me back never. Tabiso said called several times over 2 day period I did not answer. Why would I not answer my phone? I sent a complaint expected to be contacted. There is no follow up and no client service by Capitec Management. I am a senior citizen. Just want to be heard and taken seriously. My pension was for meds. Capitec staff do not show respect in my opion to people of age. They patronized me.
