I am so happy for you Aussie Scammed-if ever we needed convincing " you get back what you put in" this is it- Congratulations !!!! - Till you mentioned FOS I had not even heard them mentioned.
I have also spread your msg to other members in other groups, not just in Aussie by the way- but UK and beyond. I am really glad I asked you to expand your thread, too.
I really seem to have p'''ssed off NAB thanks to your excellent article. In the 3 way link- up between Nab's lawyer, FOS and me -their words:
"IT SEEMS YOU HAVE BECOME A BIT OF A CHAMPION FOR THE VICTIMS" - I knocked back their $3,500 first offer, then their $4,500 second and final offer even though they said it far exceeds the normal deal.
You have given me a lot more assurance- but each bank will probably muddle their way thru. I hit them right on the head with my big stick- Nab's lawyer had no idea that I had presented FOS with evidence that Nab had been notified by ASIC way before my scam, and I also sent them a copy v the txt their fraud squad sent me: no mention v a scam- During the conference I told them I believe I am entitled to the whole sum of $50,000 usd. back Their lawyer admitted he was appalled by the scam.
He said-even though it may not please some customers, now they will not release any deposit money to any known scammers on the ASIC list. Strange that, isn't it?-they were the exact words I said in my first submission to Nab. I also hit them with the fact that we know that 1% to 2% v the deposit transfer fee goes towards the banks and Visa . I said 2% of approx. two billion dollars world wide is a lot of money and it doesn't look good when people know the banks are benefitting from a scam. Man -the lawyer quickly denied that, but I'm hoping I had done enough damage to Nab by then!!!!
If FOS really are mediators, then I reckon Nab are in trouble, they stuffed up their defence. Whereas they thought they had it in the bag-they said they only received notification in Jan 2017, and the fraud squad had warned me OFM was a scam-in reality they had nothing.
Once again-thanks a million AussieScammed-another win for FPA with lots more to come I'm sure-
Take care- Tolly
