Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
While I was in another country on XX/XX/2023, someone impersonating a Chase Bank employee claimed that they were from the fraud department and noticed suspicious activity on my account. They had a caller ID of Chase Bank and used the XXXX text thread to send me a confirmation text code. Immediately after the call ended there were four ( 4 ) separate ATM transactions of {$200.00} removed from my account, totaling {$800.00}. I called Chase and filed a report on XX/XX/2023 and was temporarily reimbursed the full amount. On approximately XX/XX/2023 Chase denied the claim because their system traced the approval for the transaction back to my personal device ( e.g. Face ID and wallet, documents can be provided ). I called Chase again on XX/XX/2023 to file an appeal and the representative indicated that I would have to fax supplemental documents such as phone/text records and bank statements, indicating that the fraud occurred, and that the individual impersonated Chase Bank through XXXX. The results of the re-appeal came on XX/XX/2023 with interim communication with Chase employees who repeated the results of the investigation, which was denied, but did little to address the fraudulent activity or any responsibility for protecting my money against scamming.
