Daniel Buraimo (not real name), an Ogun State-based businessman, has narrated how over N45,000 vanished from his Fidelity Bank account without his authorisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buraimo told FIJ that the incident happened on the evening of December 17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I deal in aluminium sales in Abeokuta,” Buraimo said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I was in my living room when I started receiving strange debit alerts on my phone. Someone was transacting on my Fidelity Bank corporate account without my authorisation. The incident started around 7 pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I was surprised that I could receive several debit alerts for the transactions I never did. I kept receiving messages showing debits of N7,000, N6,000 and N14,000 on my phone that night. They were mostly web-purchase transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Because it was a Sunday, I could not really do much. So, in the end, and to stop the fraudsters from draining the entire money I had in the account, I quickly transferred what was left to another account.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buraimo said he subsequently went to a Fidelity Bank branch in Omida, Oke-Ilewo, Abeokuta, to lodge a complaint the following day and was promised by the officials he spoke with that the matter would be looked into.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“At first, they told me that the fraud occurred on my account because I had compromised my debit card details,” Buraimo said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I immediately refuted the claim, making them understand that my debit card was always with me. I don’t even share my debit card or account details with anyone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I also only make withdrawals at ATMs myself. I don’t send anyone to make withdrawals or any other transaction on the account or on my behalf. There was no way I could have compromised the account details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“When I said this, they told me the matter would be looked into. Since that Monday, however, I have not heard from Fidelity Bank on the matter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Times are hard, people struggle to make ends meet, and it is not right or fair to see the money you have suffered for stolen right before your eyes.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FIJ sent a mail to Fidelity Bank’s customer care desk for comments on Thursday, but it had not been responded to at press time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
