Topic Title: HSBC New Delhi Branch - Cheque fraud
Thu Jun 23, 2005 5:49 am
I am writing you regarding my account with HSBC India
( Non Resident Indian ) Account . I issued a cheque
for Rs 100000 for my family back in India and sent it
via Mail . This cheque was cashed by some unknown
person to me . The bank cashed the cheque without
checking the Identification of the withdrawee . This
was my hard earned money which my family needed
urgently and it was given to some one without proper
identification .
I hold the HSBC , New Delhi Branch in
India responsible for at least verify the identity of
the person whom they are giving such a big amount .
This is not a standard procedure , the person who
walks in should be identified properly with enough
proof before given the amount . This was a big amount
which I want back from the bank since customers trust
the bank and thats why they deposit their hard earned
money in them .
The banking staff was careless , they did not check
the identification of the person who withdrew the
money . And they handed over 100000 Rs ($2350) without
careful verifications .
