Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account
Sub-issue: Transaction was not authorized

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I first noticed fraudulent activity on my account. I discovered that there were many unauthorized debits by XXXX that did not match the orders that I placed online. During the purchase of my new home, I had ordered merchandise from XXXX, but discovered that unauthorized purchases totaling {$850.00} had charged to my debit card. 

I contacted Bank of America on XX/XX/XXXX and filed a claim for the fraudulent activity. I was issued a replacement debit card and was told that no further deductions from XXXX would be approved. 

About a week later, I received notice that my claim had been denied. Bank of America stated that I had provided access to my debit card, but provided no written documentation to substantiate their denial. I also noticed that even after my XX/XX/XXXX claim, additional debits to XXXX had been processed. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I re-opened my claim and anticipated that Bank of America would contact XXXX to receive proof that none of the unauthorized debits were mine. On XX/XX/XXXX, I again received denial of my re-submitted claim with no written explanation. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I visited the Bank of America branch office and spoke with XXXX XXXX. She contacted the fraud claim department by telephone. I spoke with the B of A fraud representative named XXXX. He stated that my claim had been denied because I waited four days to file my claim, had a " purchase history '' with XXXX, and that it appeared that i had provided authorization for my debit card to be used ; therefore, my claim was not considered by Bank of America to be fraudulent. 

He informed me that I would need to contact XXXX and submit additional documentation, but that my claim does not meet the requirements for fraud. 

I have been been a B of A depositor for over 25 years, am a B of A " Preferred Customer '', have my XXXX account purchase history, and understand fraud to be defined as, " ... the use of potentially illegal means to obtain money, assets, or other property owned by depositors ''. 

I am requesting intervention and support by CFPB to mediate this situation for me as I continue to work through my frustration and anger over my unfair and illegal treatment by Bank of America.

Complaint:
I was the victim of a credit card scam XX/XX/2021, involving XXXX and Barclays. On XX/XX/XXXX, by registered mail, return receipt requested, I sent both companies the police report, screenshots of fraudulent computer interactions, and a narrative of my trauma, attached below.

I had spoken with Barclays XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX ( XXXX ), XXXX ( XXXX  ), XX/XX/XXXX ( XXXX ), XXXX ( XXXX ), XXXX ( XXXX ), and XXXX ( XXXX, XXXX ), XX/XX/XXXX ( XXXX ). I received inconsistent, unclear information during these calls, and other times was kept on hold for up to 75 minutes and never spoke to anyone. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter from Barclays, dated XX/XX/XXXX, which denied my petition for dismissal of {$5700.00} in fraudulent charges, and stated I owed the original amount plus interest and penalty fees. Friday, XX/XX/XXXX I finally reached XXXX, who scheduled a call back for me and at XXXX XXXX. I spoke with XXXX who said by mistake they had scanned my documents but never forwarded them to a supervisor for review, that my case had been closed and was unable to be re-opened, but that she would send my information to a supervisor. XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter denying my claim. XX/XX/XXXX I filed complaints with XXXX, XXXX, FBI, FTC, and XXXX.

Company: Early Warning Services, LLC
State: OH
Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service
Sub-product: Mobile or digital wallet
Issue: Fraud or scam

Complaint:
I was a victim of a fraud scam that occurred on XX/XX/2018. 
The scam involved me sending an unknown recipient money via the XXXX app associated with my XXXX checking account. A total of {$830.00} was lost to the scammer. 
At the time, I had a balance of {$0.00} in my XXXX account because I had moved to a new location that didnt have any XXXX banks and therefore transferred all of my money to a different bank. 
The scammer sent me a bad check for {$1300.00}. I cashed it at XXXX. The {$1300.00} showed up in my account. I then sent {$830.00} of that money to the same person. Then the check came back as bad and I was left with a negative - {$830.00} balance in my XXXX bank account. 

I reported the incident to my bank, XXXX. I also filed a police report. 
XXXX sent me a letter in the mail saying that my situation was not considered valid as fraud and they would not be paying the - {$830.00} balance in my account. They also charged me tons of late fees on the negative balance and then, after two weeks, closed the account. Blacklisting me from opening up any new bank accounts with anyone else in the future. 
During a phone conversation with a XXXX Escalation manager, I asked why my situation was not considered a valid fraud and was told theres no way we can prove that you didnt just send the money to a friend. This is a lesson you need to learn. Its only {$830.00}, you can make payments on it. We cant make an exception for you because if we did, the feds would come after us. We cant make an exception for you because if we did, youd go and tell all your friends about it, theyd try to get away with the same thing and we would go bankrupt. 

The man I spoke to said I dont think anyone at XXXX would believe you were trying to scam us out of money. But theres no protection for this. Its a very common scam that happens to hundreds of people a day. 

My complaint with XXXX and XXXX, Which is the app that was used to send the money, is that there were no protections in place for this very common type of fraud. Why was a {$1300.00} check cleared that later determined to be bad? 
Why was a transaction of {$830.00} allowed to go out from an account that had no money in it and why wasnt I alerted? If this scam is as common as I was told it is, why arent there protections in place by both the bank and XXXX? 
People put their money in banks to keep it safe. And banks are using a money transfer service that has less buyer protection than XXXX. I would have better safety making my transactions on my own.
