Beware of that Fund Transfer offer!

Got a shock when I received my credit card bill. There was a $3500 fund transfer request been approved on 27th Feb. Another letter from the same bank C (dated 28th Feb, but was received only on 20 March???) said it has approved my fund transfer.

Thinking back, late in Feb a telemarketer from that bank C did offer my fund transfer. As I was driving, I told her to fax over to let me know. To my surprise, she said there is no need for signiture. The offer sound quite nice so I accepted it, but I told her I am not so sure of my bank account number, so it's best that she call me later. However, she assured me it's alright as the bank will double check before the fund transfer is approved and will contact me for any problem.

It's amazing that how could be the bank do a transfer without the need for any signiture, and further more no check was done to ensure the account number transferred to match my name!

Called the bank C. Now has to wait for them to get back to me on monday...

sign, what a disappointment. Earlier last year was still happy with them over ruling in my favour over a mis-billed by another company...
