Complaint sub-issue: Deposits and withdrawals

XXXX was diagnosed with XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. He was impaired at the time of the scam described here. Scammers stole our money, and then Key Bank made us pay it back. 

XXXX writing for XXXX : On XX/XX/XXXX I received an email invoice for {$450.00} for five ( 5 ) licenses of XXXX software from someone purporting to be a XXXX employee. When I called to tell them I dont have 5 copies of the XXXX XXXX, they told me they would refund the money, and persuaded me to grant them access to my computer so I could enter the refund amount.

The next day, that same person called in a panic telling me that he had erroneously refunded me around {$45000.00}, and that he urgently needed me to wire that money back to him. I saw the amount in my checking account, promptly agreed, and wired him the $ XXXX. 

Then, the day after that I received another urgent instruction that the money had not gone through and that he needed to try a smaller amount. He said he had refunded {$42000.00} of the previous days money, and he needed me to wire that. I saw that purported refund in my account I sent a second international wire of $ XXXX. 

The scammers had hacked me, installed spyware/malware on both my computer and phone. They had transferred money from my XXXX XXXX XXXX to my checking account, so when I checked the bank, I saw extra money that they claimed was due to them. I did not realize that it had come out of my HELOC. Each was sent via international wire transfer to a bank in XXXX. I immediately reported the fraud to Key Bank. 

Key Bank responded by freezing my checking account. My checking account balance was, as usual, several thousand dollars. My HELOC balance had been fraudulently run up by the $ XXXX. 

Within a few days, Key Bank, with neither permission nor prior notification, debited my checking account by {$87000.00} and reimbursed the defrauded line of credit ( secured by my house ). They protected their secured loan, and overdrew my account to do it. 

Despite numerous calls to Key Bank to get information and status reports, their responses have been conflicting reports and endless time on hold waiting to be transferred to yet another department in the bank. 

They say that the fraud claim investigation is ongoing, but they have put us in collections for the overdraft. They offered us a mortgage on our house, and having no viable alternative, we accepted that. We now not only have lost the $ XXXX, but we are forced to pay {$830.00} a month for a mortgage. This situation is outrageous and untenable.

Complaint sub-issue: Can't stop withdrawals from your account

First Bank XXXX Colorado ( 1st Bank ) did knowingly and without my knowledge or consent allow the withdrawal of 100 % of the funds in my savings and checking accounts to be withdrawn via a garnishment, which I was not made aware of. I was never served with a Complaint, never advised of a Judgement against me nor was I served with a Writ of Garnishment, which is required by law. Further, 1st Bank refused to provide me with any information about the Garnishment, and debited my accounts in excess of {$11000.00}, which is approximately {$4600.00} MORE than I had in both accounts combined, resulting in an overdraft on my checking account of over {$5000.00}. Again, they willfully refused to provide me with details of these transactions, and charged me a {$150.00} processing fee additionally. My accounts are now frozen, the bills I had paid are going to be returned NSF and I was never given proper notice. Again, I was not aware of this action and only became aware of it when trying to purchase groceries at XXXX and having my debit card denied. I was paid on Friday, XX/XX/XXXX and I checked my balances via the automated phone line at approximately XXXX. I had an an available balance of {$3400.00} after being paid my salary of {$2600.00} plus an expense reimbursement check of {$450.00}, and the existing balance. I began paying my monthly bills to my electricity and cable providers, cell phone, car note and credit cards in the amount of approximately {$2300.00}. Sometime that afternoon, XXXX Bank, without informing me, froze my accounts, withdrew the previously mentioned monies, yet somehow allowed a withdrawal from XXXX at approximately XXXX XXXX to go through for {$26.00}. Now, all of my bills are going to bounce, and again, I was never given legal notice of such actions, and they refuse to provide me with any details. I have been a customer of XXXX Bank for over 20 years. I am considering legal action and the possible involvement of the media via consumer affairs reporters at my local new outlets and contacting my elected representatives regarding the violation of state and federal banking regulations.
