It looks like there is no end in sight to the increased cases of banks colluding with fraudsters to steal their customers’ hard-earned money.
This time, it is Polaris Bank.
An octogenarian’s life savings of close to N800,000 suddenly disappeared from her account.
The grandson who fears that her health could be negatively affected by this has called out to Polaris Bank to do something about her missing money.
Taking to Twitter, he narrated what transpired.
#@PolarisBankLtd, This is my grandmother, an octogenarian, whose life savings, close to #800,000 was wiped out from her account with nothing left.
“This happened yesterday around 06:12pm (Friday, January 28) after an airtel caller who identified himself as an agent from @PolarisBankLtd Ikorodu.
“That was the branch she obtained her ATM card. Immediately after the call ended where he tried to verify her details, she saw debit transactions on her account.
“I was, therefore, called from work, as I’d to travelled down to her place at Epe, due to the nature of her health, and made my findings and recordings of how everything transpired.
“I couldn’t help, but to start crying. This is someone who was recently credited her pension money, just about four days ago precisely (Teusday, January 24th)
“With so much panic and shock, she went straight to her bank this morning, Epe branch to be precise, and all what your people at @PolarisBankLtd told her was that that she should write a letter and try to obtain another ATM card.
