Complaint narrative:
To preface, I am facing a sophisticated cyber attack shrouded in public corruption. I reported a fraudulent company & multi-million dollar scam to the FTC about XXXX months ago and the group orchestrating the scam is preventing me from communicating with others by phone or text or internet. To circumvent this I've been forwarding traffic from a variety of domains to websites I've created with information about the situation. It's escalated to the XXXX military working with XXXX of my cellular providers to monitor the traffic to and from XXXX of my phones. IP addresses assigned to the Dept. of Defense ( a few times also the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) are always showing up for the source of my cellular data, but I am yet to speak with anyone about what's going on. 

Currently I am unable to spend money online using any bank or digital wallet, and I can not open a new bank account at any bank due to banks being unable to verify my identity after I enter my SSN. It seems as if I've been declared deceased and any use of my social security number is being refused. I recently moved to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX without much warning and it's possible someone reported me missing, but I'm unsure how to find out. This also could be a tactic by the group of scammers to prevent a murder investigation in XXXX XXXX after I've been declared dead in XXXX. 

Here 's what's happened in the past week : XXXX. ) Wells Fargo, XXXX XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX rejected my application to open a checking account because they could not verify my identity. 
XXXX. ) I was unable to deposit cash into my XXXX account with an error message of " suspected fraud '' being the reason on the cashier 's screen. I opened a new XXXX account and the same thing happened with that account at a different deposit location. 
XXXX. ) I added money to a XXXX pre-paid debit card, but when I tried to register the card online with my SSN they were unable to verify my identity, so I am unable to add a billing address, or make transfers or withdrawals. 
XXXX. ) I can not log into my account with XXXX because they can not verify my identity. 
XXXX. ) I received an email from XXXX about a credit inquiry, but I have not applied for anything except checking accounts in the past year. I received a similar email from XXXX, along with an email about being approved by a lender for a loan. I do not have access to any XXXX account currently. 

I am reporting this to keep record with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and in my own publicly-accessible list of reports. If there is anything your office can help with it's appreciated. If any action is taken on my behalf, PLEASE approach the situation with grave seriousness and be mindful of hacking and manipulation by highly premeditated social engineering tactics. 

Thank you!
