Consumer complaint received 2023-02-10 00:00:00
Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Managing an account — Cashing a check
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am a screenwriter who had a check cut for {$37000.00} en route to my house via USPS first-class mail from my Agency ( XXXX XXXX and XXXX ) the week of XX/XX/XXXX. The check was stolen before reaching my home. 

Somewhere between being dropped in the mail by the Agency 's Accountant and arrival in my mailbox at home, an individual cashed the check at a WELLS FARGO bank on or about XX/XX/XXXX. 

This individual signed his name on the back of the check and was given {$37000.00}!! The Wells Fargo teller obviously broke all protocol by not checking for ID and cross-checking with who is authorized to sign checks from the account. My name is the ONLY person authorized to sign and cash checks. Yet, this individual PRINTED HIS name ( he didn't even use a signature ) and was given the funds by the Wells Fargo Teller. I have a copy of the cancelled check and it 100 % is NOT my name. 

As soon as I found out ( after asking XXXX where the check was ) I filed paperwork with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX the issuing bank/XXXX XXXX bank ) that was submitted to Wells Fargo XXXX 11-months later, and after speaking to FIVE different people at Wells Fargo I am no closer to seeing the money that was stolen from me. 

It should also be noted that I am a member of Wells Fargo having both checking and savings accounts with them. ) Unfortunately, there is not even a contact Wells Fargo will give me for updates, etc. I have been told by people there Fraud will not even speak to you. 

I even opened a case with the XXXX XXXX Police department and they have said Wells Fargo is giving them the runaround as well. There should be video footage somewhere of this individual cashing the check. 

This is absolutely unacceptable. I know that my money is FDIC insured, Wells Fargo is legally required to give me the funds that were stolen. I am hoping you can be of help before I finally have to go and start a lawsuit, which will include compensation for all the time I have lost in this inane pursuit. 

I truly appreciate your help getting this resolved.

Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Opening an account — Account opened as a result of fraud
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
Between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, three fraudulent accounts were opened using my SSN with Bank of America. I don't have an account there. I did have a credit card with Bank of America up until 2018 but closed it due to my frustrations with their customer service. After the first fraudulent account was opened on XX/XX/XXXX and I was alerted by email, I did everything that was suggested to freeze my credit. I went to the XXXX and put a hold on that. But despite this, another account was opened with my SSN on XX/XX/XXXX. I thought maybe the XXXX freeze hadn't taken effect yet so I didn't get angry about it. I got this account removed like the other one. 

The main frustration came next. I sort of relaxed a bit and thought that it was done but it wasn't. It turns out that more accounts were opened by Bank of America. This included on XX/XX/XXXX, the account that I thought I got removed which was reactivated on XX/XX/XXXX. Moreover, another account was opened with my SSN on XX/XX/XXXX. Whoever was doing this wised up and removed my email from the alerts. I didn't know until I checked my credit reports on XX/XX/XXXX. I did finally get someone to put a freeze on my SSN but who knows if that means anything with Bank of America. I spoke with someone online who just had another issue with a fake account so who knows. 

My frustration isn't with the fact that someone opened an initial account with my SSN. I get that that sometimes happens. My frustration with Bank of America is the three accounts that were created after. It shouldn't be so easy for fraudsters to continue to create accounts online with Bank of America after this happened. When someone freezes an account, it should be frozen and there needs to be a process. It should be assumed that the person calling up to complain is that with the actual SSN.
