I am posting this review on behalf of Mr Nageshwar Rao to make MSians and other individuals aware of this issue and raise this concern. Please let me know, if such thing has happened with anyone else as well.
Quoting Mr Rao verbatim :
Dear Friends,
This is Regarding Fake 500 note in ICICI ATM Center(Prestige
Poseidon, MG Road Branch, Bangalore)
I am Nageshwar Rao working for MindTree Consulting. I had drawn
money in ICICI MG Road Branch to deposit in my Dads account. I went to DCB to deposit the money. Unfortunately in the notes I had given, one 500 rupee note
is a fake note it seems. Moreover it was attached with tape(I mean to say it was a cut note)
They checked that note in some machine and said it was a fake note and they had written FAKE on that note and crumpled the note. After arguing a lot with the Branch Manager, they had given me the note back(Because I told to them that I want to question the ICICI People and even I am ready to face any circumstance or
I am ready to file a police case)
I went to the ICICI Branch(Prestige Poseidon) and told the issue to MR Mohan who is the Person Head in that Branch.They asked me to go to ICICI Branch(Next to
Central, MG Road)
I went there and introduced myself as MindTree Mind to the Person incharge for ATM Mr Uday and told about the issue. They said they are not responsible for such things. They asked me what is the proof that I had drawn that note from
their ATM?? I told them clearly that, no one can provide such proofs, and
told them to check whether I had made a transaction or not and also if Possible to track the notes they kept at that time.
They said they dont keep track of the notes they put in the ATM, but they will manually check the notes before putting them in ATM. They said they will only TRUST their Employees and thier Machines, not the Customers.They are not at all accepting the facts that such notes will come in ATMs.
Now, Who is Responsible for this. Ultimately I am the loser and I am the sufferer as Rs. 500 is definitely a lot valuable for me, to all. What can we do & how can we know the Fake Notes??
Also the ICICI People told that in their ATMs only new notes will come. So Please Friends, when u r collecting money from ATMs do check whether they are new notes,
otherwise inform the Branch Manager.
Please pass this information to all ur friend & family members so that they will not face an issue that I faced.
Let me remind you guys, I have no intention to do copy-paste and spread plagiarism. I am only a channel to spread the word.
