Consumer complaint received 10-10-2015 about Bank account or service (Checking account) with UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION (SC).
Issue: Account opening, closing, or management

Complaint: I applied for a job online through XXXX the temp agency and there was a job on there called XXXX which is a job you do working from home and they sent me checks stating that I had to deposit it mobile into my USAA account to buy products and that I had to send them {$1000.00} on XXXX XXXX 2015 and {$1000.00} on XXXX XXXX 2015 once the money came available in my account. I went to XXXX XXXX to send them the money back. When I tried to use my USAA card for personal items for myself out of the money I had in my account before that money from that job got in there it said not available when I swiped my card in the store and I tried to access my USAA account it said account restricted and I called and they told me that my account was froze and they are going to be ending my service with USAA because of the checks I deposited I tried to explain to USAA that I got a job offer online and I did not know it was a scam and I did not know something was wrong with the checks they gave me but they were not hearing me out, they told me they would send me a letter in the mail with their determination an every time I would call back to explain myself myself about it all the representatives would tell me they could not see my account and that there was a note on my account. I 'm young and took a job offer because I was seeking another job I did n't know that the job was n't legit and I feel USAA should have known something had happened because I never had any issues with my account with them. They also said it was different checks I only have XXXX checks and the job XXXX could have hacked my account because they were supposed to be a company from XXXX and opened a new building in XXXX Florida. I have never been in a situation like this and can not afford to pay back all that money to USAA. I 'm having a hard time with this right now because I have never experienced something like this and the job really seemed real. USAA also stated that I called multiple times but I only called three times and that 's when I was trying to explain to them my situation so someone was using my information is what I 'm assuming. When I called I was crying and ect. Because no one would help. An when I talked to a man he transferred me to a lady saying she was the one handling my information I was like I never even talked to a lady about handling anything so it seemed like another person was calling also. The person who was hacking my account realized that they could no longer access my account. I just do n't know what to do. USAA just was giving me the run around and they should have realized something different was going on with my account and something was wrong. I 'm young and they just took advantage of me and it 's hurting me that people would do things like this. USAA should know from the time I got my account nothing like this ever happened and my account never had this much funds the most I 'll have is $ XXXX {$200.00}
