Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I spent a year in XXXX my information was stolen by XXXX XXXX XXXX in the country including my passport. The group cloned my phone and created fake credit cards and debit cards and made many transactions I was unable to report the information because I was still in the country and the threat of violence was a constant and I was under duress and my coworkers also so even leaving the country and reporting the issues was life and death. I had my apartment broken into and had my computer and other personal items stolen which I reported to the local police in XXXX and I asked them to use discretion because the perpetrators are unknown. I reported everything when I returned to the United States and my coworkers were all back on American soil. My bank NAVY FEDERAL denied my claim and refused to return the money and credit my credit card accounts. They returned some money to my personal account of {$560.00} but denied all the bigger claims even with police reports and emails from the XXXX  Attorney General. I have provided all the proof that is available to me as a XXXX citizen in a foreign country. Navy Federal Bank is not alerting me to why they are denying my claims until I have to keep calling for answers. This is an ongoing problem with the bank ive learned through various social media sites. The incident began in XXXX of XXXX, They were alerted to the situation when I returned to the United States and to help track the stolen money I had to hire a private XXXX. The supervisors of the fraud department agree with my evidence and don't know why the claim keeps getting denied and this can be verified with the tapped conversations. Also, the investigator is not reading the emails that I keep sending because they are responding without reading the information and making various mistakes. I fear I will lose my money in retaliation. The investigation has been ongoing since XXXX of XXXX it is now XX/XX/XXXX 2023

Complaint narrative:
On Saturday, XX/XX/2023, I was shopping online for a XXXX XXXX. I ran across a website that had what appeared to be a very good deal and got in touch with the seller via email. They asked me to make two payments for the puppy. One to sign the ownership documents, and the second to ship the puppy. Both transactions were for {$490.00} to XXXX XXXX. I was then put in contact with the " shipping company '' that would be handling my delivery, but was told I had to pay certain fees to secure my puppy 's travel across state borders. They asked me to make three money transfers and emailed me a document assuring me of a refund for my expenses. The transactions were for {$780.00} and {$760.00} to XXXX XXXX and {$660.00} to XXXX XXXX. They also provided me with a shipping URL and tracking number that appeared reliable. It was not until they demanded {$700.00} more for a supposed dog passport that I began to feel suspicious. With my family 's advice, I contacted my bank and informed them I believed I was being scammed and asked to have all transfers cancelled, to which they informed me they could not cancel a pending transfer but would place them on hold. They put all XXXX transfers for that day on hold, including the one I sent to my father for {$50.00} earlier that day, but I did not mind. They also mentioned they could not guarantee they would retrieve my money. The following day, I contacted the seller again and stated that I did not want to proceed with the process and that I wanted a refund for the full price of the puppy and the fees. To which, no surprise, they disconnected. I was not aware puppy scams existed until then and felt devastated for being so naive. What made matters worse was that, days later, when my husband called for an update to our case, the bank said since we had authorized the transactions, there was nothing they could do ; however, the {$50.00} on my father 's account still appears on hold to this day and were discounted instantly. I now know about Federal Law " Electronic Fund Transfer Act '' and that Regulation E states that if one is induced into transferring money, even if one technically agreed to it, the bank should reimburse the money, hence why I am seeking help in hopes of retrieving the lost funds. I have also reported the website so hopefully it will get taken down.
