For the past three years my bank account which i've been having for more than 10 years has been targeted by shady companies to make deductions at any time of the month. I constantly have to phone the Bank call centre to reverse any unauthorised deductions. The bank is apparently not able to assist with blocking these shady companies. The only thing done by the bank is to make a reversal and provide me with the contact numbers of those companies which in most cases they not reachable. I've been requesting the bank to assist me as their valued customer but nothing is happening. I still have these debits taking place in my account. As i writte this email i had a message on my phone that R399.99 just went off from the account. R299.99 went off on Thursday. At any point i just get a message that a debit went through, this is very frustrating and to think that my bank is not even able to protect me from such schemes is really scarry. One of these my entire salary will be taken from my account.. It means if you have an account with Standard Bank you are exposed to all sorts of criminal activities without any protection from the bank.
