http://www.7newsbelize.com/images/23/.jpg Back in January, we told you about the phishing scams that had been plaguing all of Belize's major banks, they came to our attention when a prominent Belizean found himself the victim of one of the scams directed at customers of Heritage Bank.
Tonight the news is that that particular customer has gotten a full refund, a refund that Heritage Bank Managing Director Steven Duncan had told us back in January was not guaranteed as it was, quote: "not the practice" of the bank.
Here's what he said way back when:
Stephen Duncan, Managing Director, Heritage Bank
http://www.7newsbelize.com/images/23/.jpg "From a policy standpoint, I'm not aware that banks have been returning funds. We have not. And that policy has not changed. Where the bank feels that the bank is p out money from your account in error because we made a mistake there is negligence or something on our part that's different. But that is not the case here."
Again, that interview was in January. The funds were refunded to the account this week.
