Online fraud transactions in Bank of Baroda
Recently on 12th March 2016,
Mr.Chandra Bhushan, who is associated with Legal India &
Pravakta.com as an IT Consultant faced online fraud transaction in his
Bank of Baroda’s bank account. In the noon of 12th march at 12:03PM, Mr. Bhushan got three SMS of debit of Rs.5078.97 from his bank account.
He was shocked to see the SMS
and immediately checked his account logging via online. He noticed that
the debit transaction of Rs.5078.97 has been done repeatedly 3 times at
an interval of 25-30 seconds at 12:03pm
on 12th March 2016 to an unknown recipient but the transaction date was
mentioned 14th March 2016, i.e. two days advance.
He immediately called the
customer care center of Bank of Baroda and complain about the issues,
But the customer care executive was totally unable to tell about the
transaction and recipients, he only suggested to block the debit card.
Mr. Bhushan immediately requested to block the card and asked about the
advance date of transaction.
Customer care executive
justified the transaction by saying that due to Saturday since bank
working hour closed after 12:00pm therefore all the transaction done
after 12:00pm will be showed in the date of coming working day. However
Mr. Bhushan referred about the last Saturday, 5th March transaction of
Rs.340 to Bharati Airtel at evening 5:00PM that was registered on the
same day i.e. 5th March 2016. But again Customer Care executive has not
given any satisfactory reply.
He requested the Executives to
block the transaction of 14th March since its future transactions
but Executive expressed his inability to do so.
Now the question is that has the
Bank of Baroda provided online transaction facilities to its account
holders without any security prevention?
Secondly can any unanimous user, do future transaction date entry in their bank server.
Thirdly can any unanimous user can do transaction in any one’s account without their permission?
Fourthly if any account holders know about future fraud transaction, then how he will stop the transaction?
