Issue: Fraud or scam — 
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (VA)

I have been scammed in an attempt to protect my mother 's trust. 
My brother was the trustee for my mother 's account. He died suddenly, and I became the trustee. A few weeks after he died, I received a couple of calls from men who identified themselves as agents from my bank ( XXXX XXXX ) asking me to authorize a few large large sums of withdrawal requests from MY checking account. I realized they were from my mother 's account, NOT mine. I was advised that I needed to protect her account since these were scams, so I was told to transfer her monies temporarily to a different account, a SAFE bank account with The Bank of America. Since it was a large trust, meant to take care of my mother, I agreed to get her money out of XXXX XXXX and have it transferred to Bank of America. They gave me the account name and number to which the monies were to be transferred. The following were the dates and transfer amounts. 
Sent on XX/XX/2022 : {$7200.00} done on my phone Sent on XX/XX/2022 : {$48000.00} done on my phone Sent on XX/XX/2022 : {$68000.00} done in person at my bank Sent on XX/XX/2022 : {$42000.00} done on my phone Sent on XX/XX/2022 : {$96000.00} done in person at my bank Sent on XX/XX/2022 {$95000.00} done in person at my bank Sent on XX/XX/2022 {$61000.00} done in person at my bank Also transferred {$70000.00} from two annuities ( by phone ) to the SAME ACCOUNT WHICH THE SCAMMERS SET UP FOR ME IN A NEW BANK OF AMERICA ACCOUNT. I HAVE THE BANK OF AMERICA ACCOUNT NUMBER. 
When I realized this WAS a scam, the following agencies were contacted. 
XXXX XXXX Bank of America The Attorney General of Virginia Federal Trade Commission FBI - IC3 Form Social Security Administration XXXX Fraud Alert 3 lawyers who told me I would probably never see this money. They didn't want the case. 
The result : The SCAMMERS set up the account at the Bank of America, told me the account number and name. I DID NOT, but was led to believe that this was a SAFE account and I could preserve the money she needed to live on at the Bank of America, until XXXX XXXX was cleared of any wrong doing. My whole family is now separated, one from another, feuding over how I " LOST '' their mother 's money. Much heartbreak!

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (FL)

Once again Synchrony has failed to provide a mailed copy of my current Statement. It is now 2 business days to my Due Date. I've lost count of how often they do this.

I believe their practice is intentional, to either force me to enroll for eStatements or to fraudulently create Late Charges and Interest. I can only see statements on line if I enroll in eStatements and thus lose the ability to receive mailed paper statements.

The fact that they refuse to allow me to see or print a copy of the Statement online simply confirms that their intentions are disingenuous and not just simple negligence.
