Fraudulent payment via barclays internet banking

[adam carter]

Hi all

 

I am posting to ask if anyone has had any problems like mine or can advise of what i can do.

 

Basically I made a payment for £4000 to another barclays account (which i didnt know at the time) where the beneficiary name was completely diffrent to the account number and sort codes name, basically i was the victim of fraud. the beneficiary name that i imputed and i thought i was paying, was Ebay financing agents account, seems not, i have now found out that it was some little [problematic] account, whos name and account name certainly isnt Ebay. Barclays to date have basically said that its my tuff luck and i should have known these details where incorrect.

 

Im not sure what the internet banking payment security/checks are, but it seems none, as long as the account number and sort code exist within the banking sector when you press confirm thats it gone, no turning back.

 

Can anyone help me or advise me. I have contacted my solicitor who is willing to back me 100% if it means FSO or taking it further.

 

Regards

Adam the Plumber.

so you got spoofed by an email link eh.

 

its fraud and their fraud dept should deal with it as fraud.

 

easiest way is to tell them you got infected by a virus email.

 

they should refund it pretty quick.

Hi Adam and welcome to CAG.

 

Moving this to General Consumer Issues forum where I think you'll get more opinion about your case.

 

Don't let Barclays fob you off. There may be more that they are able to do about this.

 

If it involves eBay and/or PayPal, there should be action they can take also.

 

I assume you've already contacted the Police about this.
