Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am part of a XXXX XXXX called XXXX XXXX. It's a private group that has XXXX members. On Monday, XX/XX/XXXX I posted that I was searching for a pair of sandals and a user " XXXX XXXX '' messaged me and said they had the item in hand and agreed to send them to me after a XXXX " friend/family '' payment was made in the amount of {$920.00}. I checked their references and all seemed to be legitimate. Payment and address was sent and they said they would ship it the next day ( XXXX ). On XXXX, they messaged asking if they could send the next day and I agreed. On XX/XX/XXXX, they asked for my shipping details again which I sent and they then sent me tracking information. I was a bit skeptical as they were using a delivery company I'd never heard of " XXXX XXXX XXXX ''. There is a website and it provided shipping info but said the delivery was " pending ''. This morning, XX/XX/XXXX, they messaged me at XXXX PST asking if I received my item and told me to email the company if I hadn't. That raised reflags and that's when I discovered that this person was posing as a legitimate/trusted buyer/seller XXXX XXXX. They created an account with the same profile picture and information, but the username IP was different. I now realize that I should have used my better judgement and now trying to see if there's any way to get my money back. In the meantime, I don't want this to happen to anyone else. 

The delivery website now appears to be fake as well.

Complaint narrative:
Basically what happened is that I report XXXX fraudulent transactions made through XXXX from my bank checking account ( Wells Fargo ) the first of XXXX to " XXXX XXXX '' Ref # XXXX and the second of XXXX to XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX. The solution that Wells Fargo gave me was to go to my cell phone service provider in this case ( XXXX ) a documentation that my phone has been compromised so I went and they told me that they are not able to give that type of documentation and that the only thing they can give me is an invoice for the cell phone payments and a call history ( I will attach these proofs below ). So I turn to you as my last option to solve this.
