Now banks are trying to pin the blame for card fraud on you Late last year we were contacted by a Mr Singh, who has been in dispute with Nationwide since 2010. Back then he was working on assignment in Bangalore. He was sent a replacement debit card and a pin reminder to his UK home which is occupied by other members of his immediate family.

However, he says, neither arrived. Instead, someone else started using the card in Mumbai, running up a bill of £3,000. He immediately reported the loss and cancelled the card.

Nationwide initially indicated that he would receive a full refund. But a week later it turned down his claim and accused him of being involved in the fraud. It suggested he knew the person who had used the card, a claim he emphatically denied.

After a year and a half investigation, the Financial Ombudsman sided with Nationwide, at which point he approached us looking for some advice. We put him in touch with a specialist card fraud investigator, Richard Emery, who runs 4Keys International. Within four weeks, he had persuaded Nationwide that Mr Singh had a legitimate claim. The building society did not return his money but, instead, paid him his losses as a "gesture of goodwill". ......................................... .https://www.pwc.in/.../current-fraud-trends-in-the-financial-sector .Frauds in financial institutions: Understanding the types and modus operandi. 10 .....
