Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2023, at approximately XXXXXXXX XXXX, I received a call from an individual identifying himself as XXXX XXXX ( contact number : XXXX ). XXXX XXXX claimed that I possessed a stock option buyback plan associated with a timeshare I own in XXXX. This revelation was entirely unexpected, as I had no prior knowledge of such a plan. XXXX XXXX recommended that I contact the corporate finance office for the timeshare at XXXX, instructing me to inquire about my book entry number and to furnish my member ID for the timeshare, referenced as XXXX. 

In the subsequent days, I engaged with various individuals and entities, including the finance department and XXXX XXXX himself, who provided guidance throughout the process. These interactions led to a series of requests for wire transfers with the ostensible aim of funding a brokerage account. Over the course of these interactions, I conducted several wire transfers that cumulatively amounted to a substantial sum of money. Regrettably, I have not received the funds promised, and it has become increasingly evident that this situation may be rooted in fraudulent activity. 

As of XX/XX/2023, XXXX XXXX XXXX communicated to me additional requirements, including payments for FBAR ( Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts Report ) reporting and other financial obligations. These requests extended beyond the limits of my financial resources, and it was at this juncture that I began to harbor suspicions that I may have fallen victim to a fraudulent scheme.

I would like to underscore that these transactions were executed with the genuine belief that they constituted bona fide investment opportunities. In light of recent developments, however, I am profoundly concerned that I may have been egregiously deceived and that the funds transferred have been irretrievably lost.

Complaint narrative:
Pursuant to 15 USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( 1 ) - Congress makes it clear that a consumer report should NOT include transactions between the consumer and the person making the report. This alleged transaction that you are reporting and failed to investigate, whether or not it factually took place, can be categorized as a transaction that took place between the consumer and the person making the report. Which means it should not be included in my consumer report and is in fact a violation of my consumer rights. 

Pursuant to 15 USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( iii ) In your initial investigation I was never given the opportunity to deny this information being communicated on my consumer report. This is in fact another violation.
