Bank clerk gets 6 years in jail for fraud
Print Edition
A 35-YEAR-OLD bank clerk who used customers’ personal details to apply for credit cards and withdrew more than 270,000 yuan (US$40,329) from them was sentenced to six years in jail for fraud, the Pudong New Area People’s Court said yesterday.
The man, surnamed Feng, returned part of the money after some customers complained to the bank.
Feng, an employee of China Everbright Bank’s main branch in Shanghai, was responsible for collecting customers’ credit card application forms. Between May and June last year, he falsified the mobile phone numbers and addresses of customers on the forms and had the cards delivered to his residence.
He managed to get 16 credit cards and overdrew some 278,000 yuan from them. After customers started complaining to the bank, Feng paid back close to 49,000 yuan to the bank.
Feng confessed to the crime after he was caught by police on January 14 this year. In court, he insisted he only used two of the 16 cards but the court was not convinced.
Besides the jail term, Feng was also fined 50,000 yuan by the court.
