Did you write your pin number on the card itself? If so you made a grave error.

The fact you have withdrawn QR 100 proves that they have issued you a new card. It is the bank's responsibility to refund your amount. Please do not talk to anyone at the counter. Talk to the manager. If need be go to their Head Office and talk to the senior most guy there.

Another point is that all the ATM have in built cams. It is easy for them to identify the person who withdrew the money from you account.

Hope you will post what is the result of your endeavour to get back the money.

Although I agree the poster is naive it is not her fault, what if she were threatened and gave up her PIN would it still be her fault? The bank is at fault and yes there are cameras, just stay on the banks and don't let them run you off. Please be careful.... you have now also told people your work hours and approximately where you live.

Yes without your pin-code no one can withdrawl money by using your ATM card. How he or she knows your pin number? if you have kept your pin number with your ATM card then this is your mistake. ( some people use to write and keep pin number on ATM card itself which is a big mistake. ) anyhow you can complain to police about this matter also. all the ATM'S is Qatar having a camera, and I think police and trace the person who used your card.
