Check Yu Bank Account Now!

Created graphics.

A Bark Di Trute supporter realized that funds were missing from her Scotia account. This matter has been reported to the police, the Bank of Jamaica Governor, the Consumer Affairs Commission, and Bark Di Trute.,

Thanks and commendations to all the agencies for responding in a day. However, I was taken aback by the response of a Scotia Bank official. The first paragraph in the email from the bank is shown below:

Clients are required to review their monthly statements and promptly report any anomalies or unrecognized transactions. This requirement is outlined in our Personal Financial Services Agreement (PFSA). In addition, the formal dispute process, guided by the rules of the respective card brands, Mastercard and Visa, requires that any dispute be raised within 120 days from the date the transaction was initiated. Transactions reported outside of this timeframe fall outside of the investigation window and cannot be pursued.

It is clear from this response that long gone are the days when you lodged your money in the bank and forgot about it. Probably, we will be better off hiding it under our mattresses, where we can check it nightly.

I find it interesting that there is a time frame when queries can be made about missing funds to the bank. If this is a case of fraud, can the bank tell the police that 120 days have passed and it has fallen out of the 120-day window? I did not know that the banks can set their own statute of limitations for crimes. The banks have a responsibility to investigate all fraud affecting the institutions and to report the matter to the police.

The fifth paragraph in the bank's reply stated the following:

To ensure we fully understand the matter, kindly advise whether there was any specific reason you were unable to monitor your account activity during the period the transactions occurred.

The banks need to state to what extent they are satisfied that they monitor their customers' accounts. What systems have been put in place recently to ensure that fraud is minimized? Scotia, for example, allows your credit card to be used by just tapping it on the cashier's machine. This means that anyone who finds your credit card is free to take it up and go tapping and shopping. Customers have told me that the fraud is being committed right there in the banks. The easy way out is to put the onus on the customer to watch the funds that are in the bank. They have even set up a system so that if your funds are stolen by persons in the bank, it will not be investigated. I wish the Integrity Commission had the power to look into this matter.

For those who only see corruption in political corners, you need to start looking in other corners.

The banks seem to make their own laws, leaving our leaders powerless and the BOJ toothless. Bank customers oonu open oonu eyes and oonu ears.

A parliamentary committee should be empowered to summon these bank executives to parliament and ask them some searching questions. The public might end up having a heart attack when they hear the full story.

Yu know what, yu better check yu bank account now! 

The police have some work to do!

Please share this post. If you have lost money from your bank account in Jamaica, please add a comment to this blog and tell us about it.

Squatters' Bombshell Waiting to Explode.

Contributed by Michael Spence

Squatter settlement.

According to the United Nations Charter, every human being has a right to a livable space, which needs urgent fulfillment in Jamaica.

The areas that need immediate attention are the parishes of Westmoreland, Kingston, and St. Andrew, which lead in squatting.  Then St. Elizabeth, Hanover, Trelawny, and St. Ann, and next then all other parishes. This was further compounded by Hurricane Melissa.

In Jamaica, a livable space could be defined as a lot of land about 5 sq chains, or 1/2 acre. In 1838, the slave masters got cash reparations for the slaves and lands.

To date, those estimated 450,000 slaves or their descendants have not received any reparations for being uprooted from their African homelands to Jamaica.

There is enough Crown Land to make squatting history. Instead, what is perceived as the government continues to act like security guards for that 2% owning 95% of the Jamaican economy.

Government instead should become an agent of Jamaica's civilization in this, the 21st century.

No more squatting; every human being in Jamaica must be given the right to own a livable space. Wake up Jamaicans, we can do it.

Now the National Security Guards "Government" will have achieved a great feat with/for the nearly 1.5 million compounded national squatter population disgrace.

Emancipation in 1838 and Independence in 1962 could now be on the way to becoming meaningful in the Jamaican plantation economic model for the descendants of slaves.

How can a government, fake or real, worth its salt sit idly by watching squatting and homelessness escalate alongside property prices and criminal conditions?

We must get rid of this decadent, uncivilised squatting bombshell now before it explodes.

Lives Lost In Harbour View and Dealing With Relationship Challenges?

I have just been informed that two people have been killed in Harbour View. This is at Bayshore Park. The police need to make basic information public about such cases. The first information I got was that the incident took place in Port Antonio. 

Apologize to my readers who are fed up with these reports of killing. 

Many things can be done to reduce the murders, especially domestic murders. People in communities must report conflicts between couples early. Social workers should move in immediately to deal with the challenge. Recently, there was a murder and suicide case in Harbour View involving a couple!

Where the home is no longer a home but a war zone, we should remove the children from the environment. At the first sign of violence, the police should take on the case and have the courts give an order to remove the aggressor from the home. The penalty for breaching such a court order should be at least 5 years in prison at hard labour.

Families cannot sit down while couples are having problems and declare, ‘A no mi business.’ When the autoclaps come, you will all be bawling down the place, declaring how this person was such a wonderful person. 

The following videos were sent to me to highlight relationship challenges. How would you recommend that the gentleman deal with the situation, and what do you have to say to the woman?

What's Happening

Warning

If you are studying or staying in Cuba, you should start to make plans to return home. Some airlines have already ceased flying to Cuba because they are unable to refuel there. 

Based on what is happening in world politics, you should consider carefully which countries you study in or stay in for an extended period. You will recall what many of our students went through when the war started between Russia and Ukraine. It is also important to ensure that the institutions where you study the courses are recognized by the University Council of Jamaica and other similar bodies in other countries.

Man Killed By Police 

A man known as Heffin was killed by the police on Windward Road in Kingston. I am awaiting further information from the police about this matter.

Dr. Trevor Golding

Dr Trevor Golding has died. He is the brother of former PM Bruce Golding.

UHWI Scandal

I understand that some companies that do business with the University Hospital of the West Indies are claiming that they were not named in the Auditor General's recent report. I am almost sure that the Auditor General did not do a 100% audit. If the auditor general's report missed you, then you can never tell if the police will not come knocking at your door. Stop squealing. Your time and others' have not come as yet. Don't get jumpy. Just make sure that the culprits who did unusual things at the UHWI did not involve you in any of their illegal acts. Have you heard about an accessory to the fact?

The Oldest Resident

Mrs Claris Blake

I have been informed that the oldest resident in Woodgrove in southern Trelawny has passed on. Her name is Claris Blake popular known as Aunt Al, and she died at 103 years old. She passed away this morning.

Omega Radio

Omega Radio is in big trouble, and I understand that the general manager is no longer in that post. Several staff members have left the station within the last six months. Omega Radio is operated by an overseas church group.

Deterioration of Oaks Bridge - No Engineer To Assure The Public About its Safety!

TVJ carried a report of the Oaks Bridge in Clarendon. The question is, should drivers traverse that area with the obvious deterioration of the bridge?

A bridge is designed by engineers, and rather than getting an engineer to assure the public about the Oaks Bridge's safety, the communications manager is giving that assurance. They probably do not have any engineers at that agency. Probably that is why our roads are not maintained properly.

Soulchild Tanice for Jazz In The Gardens In March

 

Tanice Morrison 

Tanice Morrison, a singer-songwriter and literacy advocate known as 'Soulchild Tanice' as a performer. She is no stranger to the entertainment industry and definitely not a stranger to Jazz In The Gardens.

This creative Jamaican artist has been writing and performing for more than a decade. She has one studio album and several singles.

Many times we say that artistes are not producing uplifting music. That means you are not listening to artistes like Tanice Morrison. Listen to a part of this uplifting music called 'Give Praises' which she did a few years ago.

This Kingston-born Jamaican, brought up in St. Ann, will be one of the powerhouse performers at the Jazz In The Gardens show on March 29, 2026. You must take your family to watch this bundle of talent, who is destined to be one of our big international stars in the future.

Here is another song she did, which will take you back in time.

Bev Davis Is Adamant That IRIE FM Must Pay Funds Outstanding To Her

Bev Davis had her one-woman demonstration at the IRIE FM office this morning at 1b Courtney Walsh Drive. Kingston. It has been a long fight that has taken over seven years to be resolved. Beverly Davis claims that she was unable to continue working at the station due to environmental issues. She is therefore due medical redundancy benefit, outstanding commissions, and other benefits.

Bev Davis was the leading salesperson at IRIE FM, and she has received various awards for her achievements.

She plans to continue with her demonstations which will take her to the company's office in Ocho Rios. The aim is to highlight her plight and let it known how organisations treat women who have given their best working years to these organisations. Various women's organisations have been made aware of the situation. The Ministry of Labour and Social Security and the various trade unions are aware of this matter.

Ms Davis spoke to Bark Di Trute this morning. Click on the icon below to listen to her.

Davis is fighting to get her funds from IRIE FM.
