Complaint narrative:
I was the victim of wire transfer fraud on XX/XX/2023 in the amounts of {$5000.00} to XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX and a within-bank wire transfer to XXXX XXXX in the amount of {$2500.00}. I was reached out to via telephone call by an alleged Chase Representative by the name of " XXXX [ Last name Unknown, starting with XXXX ] from the Chase service number indicated on the back of the card XXXX. This individual discussed the fraudulent charges with me and created a claim for reversal during the call, allegedly. " XXXX '' confirmed my identity of myself and ensured that was calling from Chase by triggering secure messages within the Chase online banking application such that a pop-up from within the application for online banking came up prompting a Yes or No response to the question " are you on the phone currently with our representative? '' ( this may not be the exact wording but to this effect ) before I could continue to see information within my account. This triggers clearance for ongoing internal affairs at Chase Bank, such that the representative could file the claim. The representative created the claim and scheduled a call back for the following day, XX/XX/2023 at XXXX PST or XXXX EST. Upon not receiving this phone call follow-up, I called Chase Bank back to which I was told that they had no records of the call. They stated they filed a claim at this point, sent an expedited debit card, locked my online banking, and sent out a forgery packet. They refused to give me any details about what happens next, timings, expectations, or any details. I find this frustrating especially given the fact that one of the transfers was made to another Chase account, meaning they may likely be able to review the details of the transaction. On XX/XX/2023 I filed a police report and again visited a branch location wherein I was told that my claim was denied given that I 'authorized " the transfer. This is untrue and upon telling the branch manager this information, I was told there is no appeal process or further investigation that may take place. She indicated that a " wire recall ' was enacted and she 'escalated " the case. She called the claims dept with me present and received the same little to no information that I had received and told me to call the claims dept again. I went into the branch again today and again received little to no information ; the same information as last week. I believe there is social engineering at play and someone within Chase Bank is working with a Fraudster to obtain funds, among other personal theories given the sheer amount of information they would've needed to obtain for these transactions to take place. I have made XXXX and the local XXXX XXXX XXXX Police report. The funds that were stolen from me were funds from my XXXX student loan remainder following paying tuition and are the only finances that I currently have to live on ; I now hold less than {$5.00} in that bank account with Chase Bank doing nothing to inform or assist me.
