Before the hunt for clients began, the employees of Idea Bank played the role of a sales director who pretended to be a client. GetBack’s insolvent bonds worth PLN 3 billion caught 9,000 people, almost half of whom are clients of Idea Bank.
The 88-year-old farmer received a call from the bank and was offered a “very attractive food solution” worth 90,000 euros. zł to the customer’s account. It was all about investing savings, the bank official argued, which would be just as safe as a term deposit, but at a better interest rate. The farmer hesitated, but the caller in a pleasant voice dispelled all doubts – the profit is guaranteed, and the money (as he put it) can be withdrawn at any time. The term “bonds” was never mentioned in the conversation, although that is what the farmer’s interlocutor had in mind.
