I, Algernon, have the following thoughts/comments on this suspected fraudulent email message from “Internet Banking Channel”:
Why do I find this unbelievable? Because ai have a similsr problem wit hStandard Bank who cannot find an incoming payment made to one of their bucket accounts, despite my providing them with proof of payment. So, I ask with tears in my eyes, how could Standard Bank then be so clever as to pick the problem up as highlighted in their supposed e-mail to me as above.
