Updated by enaarveekay My response to SBI Customer care 's response on 23/03/2018
Dear Sir/ Madam,
This is with reference to your response my complaint on the Consumer complaint forum mentioning that you have been trying to contact me but unable to do so.
I would like to inform you that I am currently overseas and will be returning back to India only after the 4th of April.
Having said that I see no point in any more telephonic conversation since a detailed conversation has already taken place on the 2nd of March with Mr. Deepak Dhawan without any headway in the conversation..
I had at the end of the conversation insisted on Mr. Deepak Dhawan to provide me with clarifications to the queries raised by me in the mail on 13/12/2017.
In fact I take this opportunity to once again reiterate the fact that I deserve to get answers to my queries.
The dispute will stand closed only on successful clarifications in writing, to my queries.
In the mean time I insist that till such a time that you dont respond to my queries, I I should not be harrassed with repeated monthly statements with inflated penalties.
I repeat all the queries that I had raised once again for your kind perusal.:
1. Whilst the transaction was carried out on the 2nd of Sept 2017 why was I sent the first statement on the 16th of November along with the penalties instead of in the month of October?
2. Although SBI Credit Card Department were quick enough to enlighten me with the so called enhanced multiple levels of security incorporated from their end I reiterated that I have not supplied the caller with any OTP which I never received in my Mobile phone and that their claim that they have sent me the OTP to my registered contact number is false.. Also the message that the transaction having been executed never came to my registered mobile no., although they categorically said that the SMS to that effect has been sent to my mobile no. Otherwise I would have raised my concerns with immediate effect.
3. Why did it take so long for me to reach SBI Credit Card Department to address my concern?
4. If SBI Credit Card Department say that inability to identify my account on your records was the reason, how is it that a hoax company i.e. Jimmywalls Enterprises had all my details readily available at their disposal when they had performed the transaction with me under the garb of SBI Credit cards as identified by true caller installed in my mobile.
5. I was not advised by either the CUSTOMER CARE or SBI Credit Card to raise a dispute form to address this issue. One of my friends suggested me to do so and hence I filled in a transaction dispute form as a legal document towards settling this issue favorably and not harassing me any further by immediately quashing the disputed amount and abstain from adding any additional penalties.
6. What prevents me from accusing SBI Credit Card Department of collusion with Jimmy Walls enterprises as, I conducted a search on Google for Jimmywalls enterprises and realized a couple of things:
a. I was not the only person who has been conned as I identified that three more people Mr. Siddik M., Mr. Siva D and Mr. Mr. Kapil Gaur who have fallen victim to the con game. This was evident only because the three gentlemen had raised a complaint with WWW.CONSUMERCOMPLAINTS.in . I am sure that there will be more but for want of having raised the issue it has not surfaced.
b. In both cases Jimmy walls enterprises conned only SBI Credit card holders and the modus operandi was the same. (identifying themselves as SBI Credit Card, possessing all the vital information, poaching on credit cards which have not been registered or for which the PIN has not been sent). In some cases the victim did receive intimation of the transaction as well as the OTP. But then again, the onus has been transferred to the victim
c. I in fact feel that there is someone on SBI Credit Card Department’s end providing such hoax companies with insider information as result of which such incidences take place.
Request you to kindly provide me with the clarifications on all the above points raised. Having said that I now hereby state that this is a disputed bill, for which I have raised my concerns and maintain that no additional charges on the disputed amount be levied till the dispute is settled.
To end this matter amicably I would like SBI Credit Card to maintain a sympathetic stance with me and forego the disputed amount and initiate a more stringent action against the wrongdoers rather than further victimizing the victims.
Appreciate a favouravble reply from your end
Thanks and regards,
N.R.Venkatkrishnan

Updated by enaarveekay I wish to raise a consumer complaint against SBI Cards for collusion/ conspiracy in a abetting a fraudulent transaction by passing insider information to a hoax company Jimmy Walls Enterprises, refusing to acknowledge a dispute in spite of innumerable security lapses from their end, marking the complaint made by me with the consumer forum as having been resolved expartite on 3rd of May 2018, without responding to the queries raised by me while simultaneously harassing me and causing mental trauma to me by sending repeated card statement with added penalties.
To enlighten you further, the Jimmywalls/ SBI scam has got 6 victims, wherein the modus operandi continues to be the same and only SBI Cards are targeted. (Courtesy Google and Indian Consumer Complaints forum). I am certain the numbers will be higher if they had been reported.
Please refer to the latest credit card statement where the original disputed amount 8001 has inflated with added penalties to 16820 and still escalating, despite the fact that the case is disputed.
I would request you to kindly help me with getting this matter resolved amicably.
