************ Standard Bank

I made a online payment of R47 000 to purchase batteries. I was then contacted by the Standard Bank ***** department who informed me that they were concerned about the company in question. As the batteries were very well priced I decided to go to the supp**** and pick up the batteries, but I got a call from my Standard Bank bank manager who stated that I should not collect the batteries and that my money was safe as the payment was blocked. I decided to follow the banks instruction and did not collect the batteries. Standard Bank then proceeded to pay over the money to the *****sters, so now I have no batteries and no money. My bank manager, obviously under Standard Bank policy guidelines refuses to confirm or deny in writing that the above transpired and I should try other means of recouping the money because it is not there problem.
