Hello
This is a fraud being committed by international criminals to loot innocent people by giving them false information regarding winning of a lottery or opening a joint business or transfer of huge sum o[censored]nclaimed money. These are criminals and are abusing internet. Please be cautious do not pay any money to them. They will steal your identity. Please note only as per law $2500 usd dollars could be transferred once to india and not more than 10 transfers of the same amount on the calender year. Please be cautious.

Thanks

I have a saving account with axis bank in Greater Kailash part 2 Branch.My account no is [protected] on 25th september axis bank have deducted 3450 from my account as consolidation charges only. Also they have deducted service charge of 355 rupees. Dunno what is this going on ? How can they deduct it without even notifying... Is this the reason we opened our account with the bank under their so called scheme of zero balance .. This need not be accepted. Does anybody tried to find out with the bank whats the matter... ? and as per the comment above the justification they are giving is totally unacceptable they should tell these terms and conditions at the time of opening of account... Anybody if has got some information on how to deal with this .. please reply .. and this mail now i am sending to only axis bank, if i found that u are not interested in my mail then i will have to go consumer court.
