Thankyou Liz for your advice. Hes going back into the bank tomorrow. Ive told him to politely ask to speak to a manager not just the cashier as last time feel he may of been fobbed off a bit by a junior member of staff.

The agency gave him just the one job as there wasn't another job after it finished so really hes not on their books unless they call him back to do another job(hes a carer that lives in).

I too believe in karma!

Poor lad! Can your daughter do a crowd funding thing for him? It's so wrong that he's been left in a mess like this. I wonder if the agency he works for can help him?

These thieves care nothing for the people they rob. I hope karma gets them back very soon.

Daughter has a friend who recently used an ATM to withdraw £10.00. Within a short space of time, the bank contacted him to ask if he had made a large purchase. He told them no, only £10 withdrawn from an ATM.

Further investigation by local police found the ATM had been tampered with. It was reported to fraud department within the bank and they promised to get it sorted out.

Poor lad is in an area outwith his own town as was during agency work. His months wages have been taken and he has not a penny to live on. They the bank say it may take weeks to sort but in the meantime, they will not give back the money that was taken from his account.

We helped him a little last week with a few pounds as he really doesn't have any family members to help him but we cant help out any more.

I advised him to go into the local branch and explain he is lodging with someone but has to buy his own food etc and he now has but £2.00 to his name.
Failing that ive told him to go to the CAB to see if they can help.

As an ex bank employee, I know that initial investigations can take a week or 2 but 5 weeks and counting seems so unfair.

Has anyone else been a victim of this type of theft? if so how long did it take your bank to refund the money you have lost?

He doesn't have enough money to get him a ticket back to his home in Scotland. At present he is down in the south west of England.

Any advice would be much appreciated.
