FNB easy to open *****ulent accounts - Beware

I bank at ABSA. Someone used a copy of my ID and opened 3 *****ulent accounts in my name with FNB online. Apparently FNB does NOT do any duo diligence when opening accounts. They cleaned out 3 accounts of almost R70 000 each. With ABSA, you can not open a credit account without going into the bank to confirm your identity. My credit score is now ruined and I can not get a loan before this is sorted out. FNB is busy with the investigation now for almost a month and every time they put me through to the investigation team to follow-up it rings for 30min without answer. I need a letter form FNB to confirm that these accounts are not mine so that I can apply for loans at ABSA again. My Case number is: REF:*** My complaints nr is: *** Let us see if they will make an effort to sort this out. My contact details are listed within the above cases. The problem with these cases is that within FNB, there is no-one to directly talk to about your case...

Reviewer Update
I have not received any feedback on this issue and it has been months. I have also been into your bank to try and sort it out there. They told me they will expedite this matter and will call me within a days time. It has been two weeks. There is literally nobody to talk to within your whole bank which can sort this out and it seems anybody can open a *****ulent account with FNB. There is no feedback and no follow-up. I need this sorted out ASAP.
