They never gave me temp checks to use. When I went home I tried to call the capitalone number to add joint holder they claim to have computer problems and could not help me for days they sent me 50 checks in the mail but when I received them the account number was wrong on the checks to this day I have not received new checks I know this is partially my fault that I was a victim of fraud and a scam but if the bank did not dispose these funds right away which usually takes hours or the next day the criminal activity could have been stopped I feel very bad about the whole situation and I filed a claim and I was told it was denied I feel very bad that my money was taken and also the treatment using capital one I feel the claim should have been honored its legit a complaint about this situation a complaint was filed with the mustard attorney general, fbi and report will be filed with the police I wish this never happens to anyone what I went through and wish you would reconsider my claim I have been put through a lot please help me
