Suspensions not taken seriously at FNB

The below sms was sent to me but nobody bothered to call me and I didn't respond because I was not aware of the sms and something suspecious was happening but nobody called me to verify and the transaction still went through despite their suspecious, they let the transaction to be proccesed. Clearly our accounts are not safe because for them it's not about our safety but a tick box to say "we have sent the customer a message". Why didn't anyone think that maybe I didn't see the sms And it's funny that if the bank suspected me they were going to freeze the account and do investigations. Even their customer care is non existence, I went to OR TAMBO bank to get this sorted but I was told there's operation time for ***** or reversal, it's funny that such a big company only operate business hours for ***** related queries knowing ********** can happen after hours then where are we supposed to run to because even the can't help if the transaction is still pending because there's no crime committed. You don't even have an option to reverse and I hope they won't tell me that is too late because I tried on my side while the payment was pending.

Good day

After I have reported the above, transactions still went through yesterday from the same people and I never got a sms for the transaction but I only realised this morning when I was checking my account. I don't understand why or how they still managed after reporting and still under investigation I'm still not safe. I'm so stressed right now

I just checked my transactions, the funny thing is that the initial transaction that I reported is no longer on the statement but there's the new one for yesterday. What's going on?

It's funny that FNB couldn't call me when they saw suspicions on my account but now that I'm on overdraft because of the same incidents, I receive SMSs, emails and calls to tell me that I need to pay the overdraft immediately or else my transactions will be reversed. clearly they only care about their profits/interests not the customer.
