rbl is the acquirer bank, they own the cc machines
which pm using
your scotia transaction goes to rbl then up to the cc company and down to scotia and the the reply from scotia takes reverse route back

rbl has the biggest cc machine network

Till the bandits get it tho.

But RBL need to refund 100% of the transactions. Don't tell me anything about foreign rate and give me 90%. If it costing RBL to do that so be it. It's their fault not the customers.

Always look low key when carrying cash, move simple. No bling

I got hit a few dollars ... i hit pricesmart once a month save a lill bit not much ... The whole situation stinks glad their is a socalled investigation but we all know nothing is going to happen.

What are the alternatives to pricesmart?

End of the month coming up and I think they need to go on a rest for a while.

The charge (difference b/t charge and initial refund) on the suspicious Price smart transaction was refunded to me from RBL. Now checked my online banking and saw it came in yesterday

I had a customer who applied for financing with me.
She message me a evening and say "hey I see the text and can you bring the package on Monday instead"
I ask her what she talking about. She say the lady send her a text to click to receive her package.
Her application was still in processing stage. And we dont text or anything like that. I tell her send me a screen shot. It was the ttpost text scam.

She assume since she applied for a item and she got a text to collect a item that it was related so she clicked and filled out her info.

All about the numbers, some ppl must pick up

First the scam was with iphones only, now they move to android now, so daz the larger market share

Know someone who lose about 30k on dey cc cuz the cacahole put on the OTP code about 5 times. Literally authorizing your cc for fraud

I got back all. One Prisesmart purchase which was replicated was reversed in full for around $1400 and there were 6 entrys which I never picked up on at various other merchants varying from 22 cents to $4.55 cents that were all reimbursed by RBL to my CC.

you got it back as a bunch of credits or did they sum it up and give one figure?
how long after you got the refunds?
i know i didn’t see any credits on my subsequent statements
i ain’t have time to go tallying up

Individually. They all came in the same day on my online statement but the printed statement had them staggered over 3 days.
They stand out as they all stated "RBL Credit Entry" after the merchant name. The merchants were quite varied - apart from PMart there were Charrans, Mohammed's Book Store, Chuck e Cheese etc.
Given that the extra charges were during Aug many parents would have been affcted at those book stores.

I don't get spam since Google filters and blocks spam very efficiently. Including spam calls. Including the daily assdose from Digicel and Courts.

I use Google's native apps to handle phone and messages along with RCS. It eventually learns patterns and I really sincerely have not received spam for yearsssss.

edit: lol I did receive it upon checking the Spam & Blocked section of the app. It was automatically blocked and deleted and blocklisted. Didn't even notice.
