PhonePe says that we will inform everyone after understanding everything, but there is no answer, only we have informed the Cyber Bureau. &#8216;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-39550 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/bankingsansar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Capture22.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"759\" height=\"402\" srcset=\"https:\/\/english.bankingsansar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Capture22.jpg 759w, https:\/\/english.bankingsansar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Capture22-300x159.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 759px) 100vw, 759px\" \/> <\/p>\n<p>The person further said, &#8220;Then when you go to the Cyber Bureau, you get the answer that we are looking for the concerned person, we will inform you after receiving it, but ironically, even after 2-3 months of missing money from mobile banking, there is no reply or refund of the money. So it is clear from this that the bank is giving us various inducements and schemes to deposit money in your bank, you will invest the money you have deposited with us and earn a lot of money? But what kind of rule is this that if you steal our money from the bank by an unknown person, then you are not responsible for it? If an unknown person steals money in the banks of other countries, then the bank is responsible and the lost money comes to the account but does not come to our country. Now it does not matter if you understand that the main reason for the theft of money by hacking the mobile bank in this way was the collusion of the bank employees. &#8216;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kathmandu.
