We have a Current account at Axis Bank, Lok Vihar and I was astonished to see some unauthorized withdrawl of Rs 2, 499/- from my account on 2nd March. When I checked, I found out that this was against a chq of Rs 999/- issued to Yes Bank for installation of a new credit card machine at our premises.
When I called the person who had collected cheque from us, the phone no. was found to be De-activated. I immediately brought this to the notice of my bank branch authorities. One of their personnel, Mr Ritesh confirmed this to me by evening that the chq issued by me was encashed at Axis Bank, lajpat nagar on 1st day itself and the scanned copy showed that 'a chemical' had been used to erase the beneficiary name and the amount too. They claimed that they had put the bank account of fraud under lien and assued me that my money would be returned to me within a week. They also advised me to close my current account and open a new onw which I did.
But these were just 'delaying tactics' from bank. I don't know what they are doing if they can't check for such major changes on cheque. They are only postponing things and I want return of my money as well action against fraudster.
