    It is sad but he himself is resposible for his problem.So many times it is given on radios,or newspaper,tvs so that no details about ATM cards shouldbe given.control is always better than believing is a device.He should have controlled his card and call bank before giving his details.One is always become wise after falling down.whether bank could help him to get back the money ?With help of the account number?to get block?
