Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> I accessed my ATM with Bank of America in XXXX, XXXX  XXXX off of XXXX XXXX. I deposited {$670.00} into the ATM, as I have deposited cash into the ATM before, and while the ATM was counting the money the machine started sounding odd. Then on the screen " this ATM is currently unavailable '' popped up. I received a printout stating that my funds could not be returned to me and to contact the institution. I called the ATM number immediately and filed a claim. I called the bank first thing Monday morning, XX/XX/XXXX to file another complaint, claim, and to expedite the claim. It is now Wednesday, XX/XX/XXXX, and I still don't have my money and since my expediting on my claim has been denied. No explanation what so ever for their reasoning to deny my expediting! 
They clearly have video footage of me depositing money into the ATM and have since counted the money and they know without a shadow of a doubt the ATM was over by atleast {$670.00}. This is ridiculous. That was all the money I had. I have nothing to pay bills or buy food and am at the mercy of Bank of America to do their job.

Complaint narrative:
Im reaching out ( XXXX ) as an XXXX XXXX of the ongoing fraud affecting an alarming number of Californians receiving unemployment benefits in desperate hope you can assist with my case ( 2 ) in effort to inform the public of the egregious scale of fraud that has occurred since CA EDD began issuing payments through Money Network. 


On XX/XX/XXXX, I discovered my Money Network EDD account had been drained with {$2500.00} being fraudulently transferred to a bank I was unfamiliar with. Upon research, I discovered that this exact scenario has happened to Money Network EDD card users across the state. 



Hundreds of users of the online EDD help forum ( r/EDD ) reported having their Money Network accounts drained of figures anywhere between $ XXXX {$12000.00}. All of these occurrences happened in XXXX following the transition of EDD payments from XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX to Money Network XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ). 


Upon further research, I discovered that the routing number associated with my fraudulent transfer matches a XXXXXXXX XXXX bank that other victims have reported their money being sent to. Screenshots are attached to this email. 



This breach of security is terrible, but especially heinous given the vulnerable nature of those dependent on EDD funds. 



Despite submitting my dispute form to Money Network and following-up via phone, I have yet to have my money returned. I believe Money Network is attempting to slow roll the process by instructing customers to wait to receive the needed dispute form ( and return ) via mail despite the form and instructions on how to submit via email being available online. 


When I call to follow up, they've refused to provide information due to " failure to verify my identity. '' However, the verification question asked was " can you give details on a recent large transaction ( what, when, to whom ) posted to your account? '' The only large transaction was the fraudulent one I was disputing and could provide all details except who the money was sent to ( because it was fraud ). It was on this basis " my identity could not be verified '' and no information could be provided. 


I should also note I had already gone through verification steps ( SSN, DOB, PIN, Name, Email, Address ) *twice* both with the initial phone recording and the live agent. The verification question asked above was a third *additional* step. 


I can not receive any upcoming payments from EDD as my Money Network account is compromised. With no income from work, unemployment, or any other sources, I am desperately hoping that your team can assist in resolving my case and that of so many other affected Californians.
