Pathetic service, misinformation

I went to FNB Northgate to report a ***** case because l sent money assuming it was pastor only learnt a few hours later that his phone had been hacked. So on the same day it happened the 7th of August when l got to the bank they calmed the ***** department for me and l spoke to a lady and they said they will open a case but l can request a reversal of the funds since it wasn't a pay and clear. I was told they will block the receivers account while investigating and l will be charged a fee to which l agreed and signed forms at the bank to that effort. I called again the ***** department because l had been told l was supposed to receive a case number and the woman l spoke to said l also need to report to the police but a case has been opened and someone will call me. No one called me l got the case number later in the day on my app and Friday another message saying my case had been allocated to someone to investigate. Yesterday after 5 whole day's am now being told they can't reverse money l need to open a ***** case but l already did. The information that is given by all the people l spoke to is not adding up am extremely livid because l desperately need my money back. Clearly no one seems to be doing anything to help me at FNB the money might not be a large amount but I earn very little every rand is crucial to me.

So because l made a public complaint l finally got a reply from the ***** department. When l was FNB Northgate l was told since l reported for ***** the receipt account will be from immediately or blocked pending the investigation. The lady l spoke to said she can see the funds went to the FNB account. But now because it's a trivial matter for FNB noone blocked the account and now l get a reply that there were no funds in the account.

It's inhuman that your bank is so nonchalant about matters that affect lives. I have a family to feed and l needed the money. But it's easier for the bank to do nothing and wait for the perpetrator to move the funds and come back to me and say sorry we couldn't recover l should persue this with SAPS because someone decided it's a small amount not worth stressing about.

But this affects my life badly l've a family to feed. You allow ****mers and *****sters to get away with crimes. The bank failed me dismally because no follow up was done at all by FNB after l reported the matter to help me.

I have not received any contact from FNB ***** department, l am hurt that no one did their job to ensure that l get my money back. I still have to pay FNB 325rands for something that they never did, the person assigned to investigate my case never bothered to call me. FNB needs to reimburse me the money l was ****med because it's GROSS negligence by the staff that my money wasn't reversed.
