Scam

Late 2020 victim of two linked scams. FD have withheld over £3K of first one as "punishment" for not taking more care. Complaint letter factually incorrect. Granted loan didn't ask for, not checked with me because "it was done online". Account fraud their own department, debit card fraud covers FD, HSBC, M&S Bank. When agent called she used wrong one so made me more suspicious. Thankfully recipient of part of loan was suspicious and refunded my money. Learn from this FD! Ombudsman has been in touch with FD so hopeful of getting money back. Shame it's more than would be covered by small claims court. Had phone number for initial scammer, FD didn't want it initially. Same with two e-mails. Blaming account holder seems easy way out. Shambles is only way to describe FD security! Reviewed on: 18th February 2021
