I am unable to give the date of the interview as only half a dozen people know that date concretely but I was contacted by someone a few days prior asking if i would give an interview to a reporter on internal fraud. I had gained some information that may have been useful to them and I was asked to be interviewed. My choice was not to be interviewed on camera nor to record an interview and thereby giving a sense of who i was or identifiable traits. For me the best place was in the chat room on another site where I felt comfortable and among friends at that time. A room was to be set up called "squirrel" where the interview would take place. In the end due to technical reasons it took place on the main chat room in Private Message Mode.
The reported asked me a number of questions based on a document that i had got hold of and available to all rbs group staff.
I will now quote the text you were told of.
"In the last 6 months the Group has dismissed 175 members of staff for theft or fraud" What you did not see was the reasons.
Here they are:
1) Refunding service charges or crediting interest to their own accounts
2) Abuse of internal systems e.g. falsifying sales leads or misusing recognition schemes.
3) Fraudulent expense claims(including misuse of corporate cards and bank mobile phones)
4) Breach of customer confidentiality
5) Making inappropriate enquiries on customer accounts(including overdraft and loan facilities)
6) Financial Misconduct
7) Forging or amending details on documents
8) Cash theft.
She did ask if I knew of any internal fraud.I did answer her no, I can make no further comment on that question.
