Consumer complaint received 2025-07-08 00:00:00
Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Managing an account — Problem using a debit or ATM card
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/year>, I was the victim of a complex scam that led to multiple unauthorized transactions, including a wire transfer for {$8900.00} from my Wells Fargo checking account ( ending in XXXX ) on XX/XX/year>. Wells Fargo denied my fraud claim ( Claim # XXXX ) stating the transaction was authorized because it was completed using my online banking credentials. However, this conclusion ignores the fact that I was deceived and manipulated into making the transfer under false pretenses. 

Critically, I was directed to wire the money to a Wells Fargo account that appeared to be opened in my name, using my Social Security number and home address which led me to believe it was a secure account created for me. I now believe this account was fraudulently opened in my name and may still exist within Wells Fargos systems. I am deeply concerned that it could be used for criminal purposes like money laundering and that I could be falsely implicated due to my name being attached. 

I have formally disputed the denial in writing and am requesting that the CFPB review this matter. I am seeking full reimbursement for the {$8900.00} wire transfer and a full investigation into whether a fraudulent account exists in my name. My letter has been submitted directly to Wells Fargos Claims Assistance Center

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I initiated a transfer of {$2000.00} from my Wise account to my XXXX account in XXXX. In the memo section, I wrote " for XXXX '' as a reminder to myself that the money should be earmarked for my niece XXXX XXXX, who is a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 

On XX/XX/XXXX, Wise contacted me asking for the identity of the " XXXX '' mentioned in the memo line. They told me to provide her ID #, which I understood as meaning her XXXX XXXX XXXX the analogue of the US Social Security Number. Having been told by all of my banks that they would never ever ask for private information in an e-mail, I provided Wise with the full name of my niece XXXX XXXX, told them that she was a student at XXXX, and in a later communication also provided the website at XXXX that lists XXXX 's e-mail and her status as a current XXXX XXXXXXXX 

My XXXX bank was obviously satisfied with the information provided- they credited the transfer this morning, XX/XX/XXXX. Wise however continues to accuse me of violating their user agreement and placed a red banner on my website, telling me that my Wise account will be closed because I didn't answer their queries. They are not allowing me to appeal their decision.

Company: Washington Trust Bank Financial Corporation
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
I spoke to a branch manager of Washington Trust Bank about bringing an account positive within a given time frame, but notified him I would be just days short of the deadline that I am being told the account would be closed. At that time, the branch manager told me it wasn't a problem, because they had 30 days to bring that account back after being closed and still have the same account number. On my payday, which was just after the 30 days, I went to put money in the account to work to bring it positive. At that time, a branch manager and a different branch told me that it wasn't possible to bring the account back. Obviously, I was very much bothered by that. I then asked the branch manager if my funds would be safe in the still open account, or if the bank would take my funds out and apply them towards the negative balance of the recently closed account. The branch manager told me that " they almost never do that ''. At that time, I expressed to the branch manager that I wasn't trying to be rude, however I need a definitive answer rather than they " almost never ''. The branch manager then told me that the bank would certainly not move funds from the positive account to the negative account. The branch manager told me that my funds would not be applied towards the negative balance and they would be fine. The next morning, I checked the account and saw that all funds were removed from my account and put towards the negative balance. This obviously put me in a stressful position as it was a 3 day holiday weekend, and all my spendable funds were unavailable in my banking account.
