I contacted my bank manager regarding this. They informed me that the money has been transferred into the account but said that there is a change in the Account Holders name... I asked them whether I can get the details of the account holder so that I can contact him/her, they informed me that they can't do that as it was against the policies of the bank. Can you please suggest me is there any way by which I can contact the account holder to whose account I've deposited the money?

Hi, I'm new to this country and am not sure of the procedure to contact the police. Can you please let me know of the procedure for the same. The city of my residence is Birmingham. Thanks in advance, Nagaraj.

Hi, I'm came here on a work permit from India. I have been cheated by a seller on ebay. Please go through the incident below and let me know what should I do to get my money back. I purchased an item(Item No: 330095686653 ) from the seller ukgdirect in ebay on 7th March 2007. As payment, he said me to deposit the amount(₤1549.00) to his account in HSBC bank. I made the payment for the same on 8th March as a transfer from my HSBC bank account. I even intimated the seller about it but he refused to admit that he has received the money. Few weeks later, he said that he had given me a wrong account and gave me another account no in HSBC Bank. I contacted my bank. I told them that I made the transfer to an wrong account and want to get the money back. They informed that they can't do this as it was against the bank rules. They informed me to make no more payments as I had done my part. They also suggested that it was the sellers mistake of giving the wrong account details and now its his responsibility to get the money back and to complete the transaction. I informed this to the seller but hasn't got any response regarding this. When I got back to the bank, they informed that there is a change in the Account holders name of the account to which I made the payment. They also said that they think this is a [problem]. Also, recently the seller has unregistered himself from eBay. I have proofs for the claims I have made above. I would be returning to India in a month or so and want to get my money back before I go. Please let me the know if there is any way of getting back my money. Hoping for a reply from you. Regards, Nagaraj M Shenoy.
