Fake proof of payment

[IMHO]

flaker, that highlights what I am talking about that an EFT is not as a sure thing as we think. The banks know it, but will not admit. Why else this refusal to let money be drawn? There is a loophole somewhere, the crooks is aware of it, the banks is aware of it, but us, the honest clients, not!

By the way, ABSA should then refund the R65. They did not deliver what they charged for. The understanding is that you pay the extra service fee so that the money is available immediately. Not only show in the account, but available and that means available as cash. The banks get away with murder!

I'm assuming that these guys use a SA banking account for you to reimburse the money, if so, then why doesn't the bank simply look into....

Because if the person turns out to be traceable, this is how they got involved. At least, that's what they're going to say, or something similar.

ABSA did their part. moneys were credited to sellers account & as Standard admits "cleared" funds. Standard Bank are the bad guys here
