Is there any solutions for the following inident?

I am an ATM Card Holder of Doha Bank and on 02/05/2012 I tried to withdraw some money (Qrs. 3,500/=) from my account using Doha Bank ATM Card from the ATM of QIB Yarmook Branch. When I tried with the 1st machine it displayed in the screen the "Time is over" after a long pause for my request for the money. Then, I tried with the 2nd machine situated nearby the 1st one and this time I made an enquiry only for the balance. The machine showed the correct balance (Qrs. 3,702/=) and asked any receipt to be printed and when I said NO the machine printed a rceipt and at the same time I got a SMS in my mobile informing us my account has been debited by Qrs. 2,000/=

I had immediaterly taken up this matter with Doha Bank with a written complaint and now, they inform me that this is a successful transaction as per the details they received from QIB and copy of a print they received from the QIB forwaded to me. I still do not know how this amount had been debited from my account since I had not asked for a withdrawal of Qrs. 2,000/=

If anybody had experienced such incident please let me know how they recovered their money and oblig me.

There is a solution: don't use ATM. The ICT standards in Qatar are medieval. And if you get your money back after 30 - 45 days, you should also get an interest for lending money to your bank!

most of the ATM now is equip with hidden camera, you should know the precise time of your transaction, otherwise nobody dare to help regarding your problem.
