Bank probed over alleged US$23m con
Print Edition
A bank in east China’s Shandong Province is under investigation and two of its employees have been detained following claims that its customers were cheated out of 150 million yuan (US$23.4 million).
Police are investigating allegations from 22 customers of the Rural Credit Cooperative of Shandong who claim they deposited money in a high-interest rate account offered by the bank on the advice of a third party, China Central Television reported yesterday.
The report did not give a detailed time frame, but said that when one customer tried to withdraw his funds in May, he was told the account did not exist and that the payment slips he completed when making the deposit were fake.
All of the deposits were made at branches in the city of Binzhou, the report said. It did not name the outlets or say exactly where the two workers were employed.
In a report by the Qianjiang Evening News, the cooperative confirmed that two people had been taken away for questioning, and that they had been using fake payment slips. It declined to comment on whether it had been complicit in the alleged subterfuge.
It did say that most of the lost funds had been transferred into the account of a local company.
