On XX/XX/XXXX I received a text from what I thought was chase bank. I had fraud on my account. Not two minutes later I got a phone call from who I thought was chase bank and they were trying to block funds from leaving my account. I proceeded to do what this person said because I was afraid that I would lose money. None of it made sense. At the end after ZELLEING {$3800.00} to this person. I was distraught. I had a bad feeling and I was frustrated. They had even had my email and was confirming they were talking to me through email. I called XXXX bank the next day and they informed me I had been scammed. I called again to file a claim. I tried to contwct zelle. I put alerts on all my accounts and on my credit line. On XX/XX/XXXX I contacted chase again and was unable to finish the call. XXXX XX/XX/XXXX I sat on hold for 2 hours only for chase to hang up on me because the credit department has hours. I called back on XX/XX/XXXX and talked to someone who I could barely understand because of their accent and escalated the call to a supervisor. The supervisor XXXX said they tried to recover the funds but were unsuccessful. She was also very rude and very unhelpful. They also said I was unable to claim again. I tried for a higher superviser TWICE but no one was available. I will be taking legal action. XXXX bank and zelle are responsible.

Company: U.S. BANCORP (WV)

I am the victim of Credit/ID theft for the better part of the last 3 years. There are security freezes and fraud alerts at all credit agencies for going on a year now. XXXX XXXX XXXX after opening the account sent letters in reference to an alias name and TIN identification combination not being correct and enclosed a substitute W-9 form to fill out for Check systems. The letter also included an ultimatum that if I did not supply the information within 30 days my accounts and all accounts using the alias would be assessed 24 % back up withholding taxes. I live on a survivor pension. It is my only source of income. Plus, XXXX XXXX. XXXX sent letters similar to US Bank about my name and number. The IRS and the SSD have had my legal valid name since XXXX. I could not understand where the alias came from. US Bank issued several products with the alias. The debit card was manipulated to deduct XXXX $ hidden fees causing an overdraft. Credit card payments being paid from the posting balance and not payment date into a hold causing overdrafts. Wrong name on checks costing XXXX $ no refund. Checks never used. Ordered new debit which arrived with the alias. I filed a complaint with the BBB asking them to advise this bank at XXXX XXXX XXXX to cease communications and close the account after I attempted several times to cure a XXXX negative balance caused by US Bank just to end the situation and move on. I sent a check on XX/XX/XXXX it remained uncashed and not credited to my account for XXXX weeks.

I continued to receive letters via USPS stating no communication is not going to stop the debt from being pursued and I will continue to receive statements with updated bad debt. information to be reported to prevent eligibility for banks products in the future at other banks. XXXX XXXX did the same thing. Created a fake debt. Refused to close the account which remained open and inactive for 2 years collecting fees and being reported constantly to credit bureaus with inaccurate information. XXXX created a duplicate account doubling all inaccurate fee charges and account transactions. Several attempts at phone interviews with bankers ' unsuccessful resolution or ignored completely. I have been battling banks with my sole source of income being used against me as a weapon and being domestically terrorized to the point of collapse. I want this US bank to leave me alone. I am ready with evidence to pursue in superior. XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Opening an account — Account opened as a result of fraud
Company: REGIONS FINANCIAL CORPORATION (IL)

I recently moved within XXXX  and received forwarded mail from my old address that included a bank statement for an account I neither applied for nor authorized. 

The bank is Regions Bank, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, IL XXXX. The bank statement covered the cycle from XX/XX/2021 through XX/XX/2021. The statement identifies the account as " Lifegreen Checking For Students '', with an Account # XXXX. 

It has a beginning balance of - {$4.00}, Deposits & Credits {$4.00}, and an Ending Balance {$0.00}. 

I contacted the Bank Customer Service department and spoke with " XXXX '', who after a lengthy conversation, was able to verify that indeed an account was created under my name with the account number per the Statement. Further she agreed to close the account but could not provide any other information. She then transferred me to the Bank Fraud Department and I spoke with " XXXX ''. 

XXXX was unpleasant, not at all helpful, threatened to disconnect me, and insisted that what I had been told by Customer Service was not only incorrect but that in order for me to close the account, I had to submit an affidavit to the nearest Bank Branch. That branch is XXXX miles away in XXXX. 

Next, I called the Regions Bank in XXXX and asked for the Bank Manager. The man who answered my call identified himself as the Manager. His name is XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

I explained the situation to XXXX who asked questions and agreed the account should be closed but went on to indicate several surprising and alarming things. 

First, he was aware of a high volume of fraudulent account opening activities like the one which affected me, that have been ongoing over " the past several months ''. 

Second, the Bank was not only aware of this fraudulent activity but had acted to close the accounts including my fraudulent account. The four dollars in and out of the account was what the Manager described as a " charge off ''. Furthermore, in order for me to clear my credit, he suggested I needed to complete an Affidavit which he later sent via email.

Third, the Manager indicated that to his knowledge and according to information he was given, these fraudulent accounts were created online. 

I have several complaints : 1. The bank did not notify me of the fraud they were clearly aware of. I believe this to be a serious violation of my rights.

2. According to the bank employee, these fraudulent activities have been ongoing for months and they did nothing to stop my identity or credit from being compromised. Had they done so, the fraudulent activity should by now have been mitigated.

3. The bank should bear all responsibility for damages for fraud they were and are aware of, including the four dollars charge off, and any misreporting to the Credit Bureaus. The Bank is responsible to investigate and remove any and all incorrect information.

4. The Bank is by their process open to violations of the Anti Money Laundering regulations and needs to bear the consequences for any violations.
