Standard bank robbing old people
the 30th of july 2024 i was de*****ed of R73,900.00 out of my savings(Achiever acc.) by a person pretending to be a Standard bank employee. At this time I received monies from my attorney from the sale of my house in Rooiberg. Confidentiality does not exist at std bank, as soon as the funds was deposited I received calls and sms's stating that someone tried a *****ulent transaction at takelot.com for R10,000. When I called the number on the sms a woman answered the call and advised me to immediately transfer my funds as it was no longer safe in std bank. Whilst the call was on it continue to sound like being std bank. She then told me to transfer my funds to Capitec Bank in my name Bota (Botha) although I protested she was adamant that the funds were unsafe at std bank. Later that evening I contacted the std bank ***** dept who then advised me that this is *****. My account was frozen by the ***** department and i was given a case no. 051253. The next morning (1st Aug) I received a call from the same woman who suggested that we move the existing funds immediately . I immediately canceled the call. (***8). In August I followed up the case and was told it can take up to six weeks to resolve and that i need to open a case at the SAPS which I did (case 3/8/2024 - Boksburg SAPS). On the 3rd September I called the ***** department and was given a service number *** due on the 10th September. On the 13th September i received a sms that advised me the complaint was resolved. I Received a call from a women -Gugu Radebe who told me the funds were recovered from Capitec bank and waiting for std bank to close the case. She asked me if she can cancel my complaint as it delays the case. I raised concern but she was adamant that this must be done. Nothing then happened and I several times phoned the ***** department with no conclusion. I Received a call from a woman who indicated that someone from Amazon tried to get R15000 transaction paid. I then contacted the ***** department to report this ( it seemed that she was aware of the R74,000 due to me) As it is now going into October. I again phoned several times the ***** department to enquire of the case 051253 and a women told me that some of the funds now moved to Nedbank and they are waiting on a resolve. On the 8th October I insisted that this was now going on for too long and I tried to contact the managers in the ***** dept but no response. I was give a new complaint number *** due on the 15th October now open and a promise from a person Mr Talenta who would phone me to update me on the complaint but no calls received. Today on the 15 I received a call from a women claiming to be Gugu Radebe (who I emailed several times but no response yet) and wanted me to cancell my recent complaint which I refused to do. I am confused how would i know who the caller is ? I then phoned the ***** department (***1) at 9h24 today to again get the progress but was told that Mr Talenta will call me soon. No call.yet !!!
