It is past due that pore Bahamian bank customers need to be protected with Financial Consumer Protection Laws and an Financial Protection Agency that pore and other aggrieved customers can go to. Pore Bahamian bank customers also needs a Financial Ombudsman to go to an complain an get immediate action. Current any bank customer has to argue it out with the same bank an many simply give up......or ....even if they goes to a lawyer, they will find out the high fees simply not worth it....and/or the lawyer will claim "conflict of interest" as many do not want to go up against the banks..... Financial Consumer Protection Bureau or Agency is desperately needed for Bahamian customers....!!!!,! In light of many bankers being caught in fradulent activities....someone in Government must also be looking out for the Bahamian customers and fimancial consumer protections...!!!!
Financial Minister.....'Symonette: Public meeds to be cautious' with ATMs.....Bahamians will have to exercise greater "caution" when using ATMs.....calling the RBC incident of "skimming" .."unfortunate"........ Well if one searches net or teck knows of "skinning" an "scanning" plenty information is available.... 1. The scimming is better enabled when there are not adequate surveillance cameras or persons can be at ATM and physically alter machine etc 2. ATMs usually have bank camera observing user in machine face. 3. Bank must have personell to review these camera tapes for anything suspicious including large deposits...persons taking too long at machines fully being aware taught, knowledhable of all latest fraud activities.....scimmimg is an old time fraud 4. Bank has to use due care and attention and would have to check time of first instance of scimmjng fraud at ATM and look at latest or point of discovery. Bottom line many of these incidents could have prevented if Bank policies on reviewing tapes complaonts etc were done and should not be labelled " unfortunate" before investigation is done as to whether the bank was "negligent" and what action any aggrieved bank customer chooses to take......
