Bank of India
Complaint 154985 Details

This person called me and claimed he was Sr.Financial Advisor for Bank Of India offering to refund me money I was scammed out of from Nias E Business Solutions 2/12. After not being able to transfer money back onto my charge card, decided to do Money Gram, sent check from Bank of India for more than money lost, but wanted $240.00 back immediately before check was released to me. I called my bank and was told NOT to do transaction, account is blocked from foreign transactions or odd transactions, but open for CREDITS, as they couldn't credit charge card back, told me this was a scam. I was supposed to go to Western Union today and send them $100.00 before they would release check and was to say he was my brother and money is for family maintenance to avoid taxes and transaction fees, then cash check and immediately send the remaining $140.00 back to Bank of India. This person wanted me to let him into my banking online account and to open block, I don't think so. I sent him e-mail to CANCEL TRANSACTION and warned him not to use any information he had on me for any reason or I would persecute. He already had my personal information, charge card number etc. I did not volunteer any information, don't know where he got it all from. I have all the information he gave me and copy of check (it looks very authentic). Phone numbers he gave me are answering service, I was first contacted by someone claiming to be from Microsoft (who never contacts anyone) then was transferred to this person. Someone else called from another company for the same reason two days before, refused offer, he never called me back.
