- KPIX first reported scammers were emptying the bank accounts of EDD debit card holders issued by Bank of America. Kenny Choi reports that since then, we have heard from dozens of victims who are fighting with Bank of America to get their money back.
They need to do a class action lawsuit against Bank of America
I bought a cc from * carder111* on telegram best vendor I know and very trustworthy. He sell cc,fullz,Bank,Drops,and Dumps
Im down for a class action
My thoughts exactly someone stole money from my account on hold several times two different claims horrible customer service and I still dont have my $323 bucks back they want you to give up
It only takes 5 litigants to file, however I don’t know why they are not on the horn with the State Attorney General!!! That is what that position is to represent residents of that stat! Also your local state representative for your residential district!
Lotta Juice Representatives would do nothing for a citizen
I lost probably hundreds do to their garbage fees and shit. AVOID BANK OF AMERICA.
Amen
Worst bank ever.
This same *hackerkozza* on IG that also helped me and my family .. He help me to unfroze my account that have been frozen for long ..and he also help get all my money back .. And he also fixe our edd card for us ..
Finally *hackerkozza* just fixe mine too .
I wish you guys could know how much I'm.happy right now ...the guys is just so amazing .... Well if anyone needed help you can also message *hackerkozza* on Instagram ..
Well I don't know how to say a big thanks to *hackerkozza* on Instagram he has done a great job for me of too
When these People get this Money they SHOULD immediately Transfer the Money OFF of that Card into another Account at a Reputable Banking Institution. DON'T Use bank of America.
V THOMAS turn it into cash turn that into somthing that goes up in value
No, they can simply refuse to accept this option. Direct Deposit is safer and people who already have "checking" accounts have debit cards too. The state is making a percentage from the bank by allowing this to happen. F--k B of A. DIRECT DEPOSIT is and has been in use for over 20 years and it is the customer's choice to decide not EDD.
Exactly! As soon as it comes in, transferred right out.
It's hard to transfer right out cuz the bank is never on time on depositing the money and their text alert system is a POS so you never know what time it's in there
Wow!! I just got my bitcoin and working on cc’s from *carder111* on telegram, he is honest, reliable, and trustworthy. Thanks man
Sad thing is... BofA is saying its edd fault and edd is saying its BofA fault so people are getting sent in circle with nothing happening
Your exactly right
Wow that’s so true, it just happened to me today. They said I had to call edd and I talk with them, they said that edd might just need you to verify your ID, try to go to the edd website and verify your information
Yes..yes..yes!!! You are so right! I am not only a victim of fraud, but I am now battling a identification verification process due to my account with b/of/a being compromised they have completely frozen my account as they say until EDD verifies my identity but yet EDD says the bank needs to unfreeze my account. Its just a mess and all I get is a complete run around from both agency's!
facts!!! cuz my mother is still waiting to hear anything from anyone. they keep saying call this number then those ppl are saying call this number and OMG the fuxkin wait to talk to an actual person. idk what’s happening but they need to fix it.
WE HAD $134.OO CHARGED TO EDD FOR FOOD DELIVERY IN CALIFORNIA. THE ACUTUAL CARD HAS NEVER BEEN IN CALIFORNIA OREVER USED IN CALLIFORNIA.
I BELIEVE THE NUMBERS WERE STOLEN BY ONE THE THOUSANDS OF NEW EMPLOYEES AT EDD IN THE MIDST OF THE CHAOS AND NEW COMPUTER SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE.
They didn't give them a chip on their debit card. THis is NOT right.
Everyone should sue Bank of America, because they failed to provide security to the cards. And everyone should get their money money back.
Its an inside job. My friend got his card and activated it and there were zero dollar when he checked.He should've have a balance of 4200. And the withdrawal was somewhere in Africa. How can that be when the card is brand new????
There fucking selling our card numbers gotta be
Yes I agree. An inside job.
Could it be an inside job?
Facts BofA is stealing it
Actually I've been scammed so many times and a good friend introduced me to *hackerkozza* via IG and i just have to take this risk to get my account unfroze and get my money back but I'm just so glad he help me, he even work beyond my expectation .
This happened to me too..$2600 was wiped out.
The BoA customer service said go to the bank, the bank says call customer service. It took a month of back and forth, hours of being on hold..but I did get reimbursed. Don’t give up, keep fighting back!
Can you pls explain how you did it?? I’m doing it rn and it’s helll
@@loldieok Sure! I added all of the fraudulent charges on my statement. Then called B of A card services to let them know I had those, then they went through and wrote down all the charges, then cancelled the card. Then I was told to go to the actual bank (BofA) and they would supposedly give me a new card. The bank teller said no, that they weren’t able to and I’d have to call customer service back..that’s who deals with Visa EDD cards, not B of A bank or EDD.
I did and they said go back to the bank to get the card. I did, spoke to the manager that time, and no luck.
When that didn’t work, I called customer service back asking for their manager. I explained to him that I was frustrated, given the runaround and needed my money for bills ASAP. “Since I had so much trouble”, he finally was able to refund the amount that was taken out, and sent a new card in the mail.
Basically, I’d call customer service(number on back of the card),ask for management and let them know you are relying on that money and tried everything!
Good luck🙏🏼
@@kwilson82781 Thank you for taking the time to explain I really appreciate this! It's really frustrating, they have yet to recommend going to the actual bank (for me at least) but have just kept putting me back and forth between EDD and BOA. So far I guess I'm waiting on BOA to get the OK from EDD that my account isn't closed, because Edd is saying it's open and boa is saying it's not. Once it's open that's when they can refund my money that was taken out but it was really weird bc I never asked them to close The account just send me a replacement. I'm gonna wait 10 more days if not, then I'll give what you said a go!!! Thank you again

@@loldieok have they unfrozen your account.? I’m almost two months in of going back and fourth with them. And nothing is being done. EDD is still sending me checks and they say that my account is good with them but BofA says that EDD is the one that closed it and they have to send ID verification to BofA to unfreeze my account. Edd has sent it 2 times and still nothing. So please, how dod it go for you.?
Why anyone would leave money on a card that has unemployment benefits on it is nuts! You should remove your money the day it is deposited on the card, also have it deposited directly in your bank account! Stop treating unemployment debit card as secure credit cards!!!!!
That's what I did
triple v 101 That was a smart move!!
@@kingdomsounds1310 Indeed it was
I do that as well after seeing the news stories from way earlier in the pandemic I decided to just transfer straight to my account every single time so then I don't have to worry about that.
kyle smith I am fortunate to have people in my surroundings that keep me from being a voluntary victim!!!
YOUR MONEY IS INSURED BY FDIC UP TO $250,000.00. THE BANK MUST PAY U BACK.
The "cashless" society. Ummmm, No.
You know they’re going to keep pushing it though, and say “Covid 19 can spread on bills” to scare the people. 🙄
Its because of the recklessness of bofa using old tech in the edd card. If they chipped it, im pretty sure this would have never happened. The magnetic strip have been proven to be unreliable and easily hacked and bofa still used it
Right!
I have been saying the same thing. I know so many people buying into Bitcoin. Its a ponzi scheme, we should know that. The real tragedy is going to be when we realize at a certain point, Bitcoin doesn't solve the problems of economic insecurity. It seems like its actually a great way to reward people who are already rich in dollars to invest in it. And for those who don't have, much will be taken from them later. Currencies that are not regulated by natural rather than manmade terms are used to usurp and displace value. It's sad really.
@@wj3186 bitcoin is digital cash, that's why there is a value to it..
I am a victim of ID theft myself and Bank of America needs to pay the victims back!!
Samd here they took 500 dollars
They took 3000 from my card
They should contact the United States Secret Service. They deal with bank fraud.
@@griseldaperez947 today i got 263 stolen. From a atm at a city that i have never been to. All bofa did was replace my card and i doubt they will give me my money back
@@griseldaperez947 did edd freeze ur moms card? I got sent a new card but the bank did not let me activate it untill i called edd bcus supposeslt they froze my account/card bcus of the fraud. All these thieves out there free mean while we are the ones to pay consequences? Doesn't make any sense :/
I want to reiterate what the last customer said. The Bank has a contract with VISA to both protect cardholders from fraud and to cover all losses from fraud. I would also say that in the issuance of these cards, EDD employees have access to all personal information of claimants. That means it is possible that this is an inside theft. Ultimately, this debit card program has a security breach and all EDD claimants should refuse to accept that isn't set up with direct deposit.
Good reporting Kenny!!!! I don’t know why anyone would wanna bank there. BofA is dirty dirty

Had I know it would be so easy so easy to get my wife lost money and fixe her edd card through *hackerkozza* on Instagram would have made him my first choice some years ago rather than seeking for other useless hackers.
This same *hackerkozza* on IG that also helped me and my family .. He help me to unfroze my account that have been frozen for long ..and he also help get all my money back .. And he also fixe our edd card for us ..
Finally *hackerkozza* just fixe mine too .
I wish you guys could know how much I'm.happy right now ...the guys is just so amazing .... Well if anyone needed help you can also message *hackerkozza* on Instagram ..
Well I don't know how to say a big thanks to *hackerkozza* on Instagram he has done a great job for me of too
i had the same issue.... i lost over 7500 dollars to this !!!! i agree we need a class action suit it started right around the same time. this was posted..... i cant believe this was that serious (wow)
It's funny how all these banks keep saying how safer is to use debit cards.
Man you haven't heard of ACH frauds (google it), I think debit cards when used correctly are indeed safer, this particular issue I suspect foul play within EDD (more likely) or BoA.

I smell class action law suit.
I smell jail time for more than a few.
Yeaaaa I neeed that sentddd that
Wat is this ! I’m suffering over this
Me too I got hacked straight from ATM !
@@juanquiroz9069 me too almost $400
Here's some advice. As soon as you get your Money you Transfer the Balance to your Primary Bank Account.
That’s EXACTLY what I did! It took us 2 mo this and 40 hours of emails and calls to get my money after someone broke into my EDD account and changed My address to a Michigan apartment- and took about $2k. Got my money reissued - and IMMEDIATELY deposited it from the card.
Or go withdraw the money from the ATM immediately. Youncan get upnto 1k a day. But at thebteller idk the limit. Or simply as OP said transfer it all immediately
Set up VALUE LOAD alerts too for email and text so you know when theres a deposit!
I should've done that from the start...I regret that sir
@@bashiruddinahmad408 Same thing happened to me . I got my money back In 5 days . This is happening to alot of people because they choose to be calling edd for assistance. Nobody will help you... you need to help yourself in getting your money back which is very simple and easy.
My daughter lost 4100 they wrote a letter from Bank of America they won’t give the money back
Bank of America will give our money away without our authorization..... how do we stop this.
Close your BOA accounts. Both BOA and EDD IS DISGUSTING !
*I’ve reached out to Bank of America and I asked them SPECIFICALLY: “WHY HAVE YOU FAILED TO PROTECT THESE VICTIMS FROM FRAUD?”. They declined to answer the question! But a spokesperson for the bank said that’s it’s working with EDD to fight legit fraud.*
My account was frozen by B of A on December 17th. I am now getting checks from EDD. There were $2,465.00 in fraudulent charges from different states and countries obviously not by me. They even told me they could see that those were obviously not me. I still haven't had my account unfrozen. I also had about $500.00 in my account other than the fraudulent charges. I need my money and i wish they would just let me get my money out of that bank account. and then i can throw that card away that way i never have to deal with this bank ever again. Thank you for your concern to this matter. My name is Tina M. Viera i live in lodi ca.
Thanks for helping these people get back what was stolen from them. BofA has not been kind to me over the years, either. They take so many fees that it's ridiculous. Services are becoming more limited as time passes.I hope that stricter bank regulation is coming back after all of this deregulation over the last four years.
I feel for these victims and pray that they all are reimbursed, God Bless You All!
all of a sudden my money disappear, i called the bank for the whole week, they put me in hold for hours, finally they just send me a letter telling me that it was foul.
1. As soon as the money is available, withdraw all of it from the EDD account.
2. Open a credit union checking account. CUs are not-for-profit community banks. Your money isn't at risk. (Note: pick a large credit union)
3. Deposit money into credit union checking account (It's FDIC insured for up to $250K).
4. Use your checking account debit card. The debt card comes with the chip and pin which is more secure than the EDD cards.
Don't deal with Bank of America.
Yes I lost over $2000 dollars just to receive a letter saying my claim was closed due to fraud alligations
*BofA actually breached their contract with EDD*
🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️banks are thieves 🤬🤬🤬
Somehow someone managed to swipe a card at an ATM and take 1k out of my account and bank of America basically told me they can't do anything... I don't even know what to do there's nothing we can do
Close y’all account with BOA contact your unemployment office tell them to mail your Unemployment checks or give them another DD account to use!
This is bullsh*t!! I received the same exact letter!!! And I’m still waiting for my money! I’ve been certifying with EDD and they won’t give me my money because I had to file an Identity Verification!! This is ridiculous!! I was the one that suffered fraudulent activities!!!
The same I feel your pain...a class action needs to happen this is bullshit!!
Same here is over 2 months waiting for a answer😑
They should’ve pulled out heir money can’t trust banks 🤷🏽♀️
Take money out as soon it hit the bank
I did lmao and they made my account go into negatives.
I agree, take ur money out
Actually I've been scammed so many times and a good friend introduced me to *hackerkozza* via IG and i just have to take this risk to get my account unfroze and get my money back but I'm just so glad he help me, he even work beyond my expectation ..
And that’s why they call a safe, a safe, because your money will be safe.
I lost $5051. Only got a simple letter from BOA. But nothing else. They ask me to call EDD. They can not help.
I think bank of america employee took it
Dam they on his ass
"the options to choose between card and check" is a lie. I picked check but still being shoved the debit card down my throat
Is this happening in specific states or is just all across and also is it only for people who are using the EDD card to make purchases instead of transferring the money somewhere else?
When you have the word America in your company name. This is the result, "You get robbed for days".
They just took most of my money from my edd account yesterday. I am extremely scared that i wont get that money back. I hope the fraud department comes through
Did u get your money back?
Prayers god bless all involved
Shady very shady on both ends
What a horrible Bank
Do any of these people have any coorelation as to places theyve visited? Is it a bad employee stealing card info(all the info you need for onlinepurchases or card cloning/duplicating is on the card itself, name, address dont really matter because it aint really a legit bank card) or are these people who dont have security on their phones and have been compromised. Sometimes sketchy apps keep monitoring your phone activity.
They stold my money!!! How do I get it back!!!
Me too. Just today.. sucks!!
Not just EDD people. My dad got hacked with his BOA account. He's on social security.
I think all of the board along with the chairman and the CEO, should go to jail for bank fraud for at least 90 days for each count!
Between the EDD system and Bank of America they have no clue how this happened...... incredible how scammers are smarter then well educated government employees.😂
Just so you know this isn't just bank of america's unemployment, it also is happening to people with current bank of america checking accounts. They've been shady for a while.
They did the same thing to me 700 dollars gone and sent me a paper saying the claim has been closed due to fake fraudulent activity witch was a lie
hi i just want to ask if they closed card? cause i received a same letter too . thanks
@@llcrz yes they did I actually had to call unemployment to reopen my case and I still have not receive my money yet 🤦🏾♀️
What happens I just got the same claim closed letter on bofa card for filing a dispute they said edd closed my acct but edd UI online doesn't say anything about closing my acct . What do I do
Sorry this is all related to unauthorized atm charges on my card
I transferred all of my funds once my deposit hit. Plus, I have text alert and I set up restrictions to the app. I received a letter from BofA that my card was compromise and they sent me out a new one without me contacting them. I am glad that I set up all these precautions
How did you do that?
This is terrible! And big banks were bailed out with taxpayer funds a few years back during the recession. This is the thanks taxpayers get in return. 😡👊
Exactly!! Eat the rich
Honestly...... I just keep my debit card lock AT ALL TIMES!!!!!! ..... I MAKE A TRANSACTION AND RIGHT AFTER...... LOCK MY CARD!!!!!!
Hi how you do that ?
@@olgaateneacastillocardenas1105 just do online banking app with your bank
Had this happen to me. I was lucky there was no money on my edd card because I withdraw the money immediately, so these thieves weren't able to get anything.
Why is anybody keeping money in the bank during this time.
Everyone is. It's just that bank of america is a shitty ass bank. I had opened a savings account with them, and someone went into a branch and stole 80$ of my $100 in that account. It was only open for 2 months. As soon as I get my money back, I'm gonna close that account asap.
It would be impossible for me to keep all mine in cash in my home. Maybe. That question is for those who only have a few thousands.
Bank of America isn’t responsible for EDD. They just supply the Visa debit card. Any claims of fraud is a problem with the government, not Bank of America.
This is still happening! We cannot access our accounts either.
Yup I too had my money stolen out of the ATM about 40 miles from my home, while I was in possession of the debit card. 😞 At this point I've chalked it up as a loss.
They hacked my account for $3,000
and I had to pay it back.
I've had more than $17,000 that they've taken and I switched to checks then they started cashing my checks with a fake ID and Edd keeps hanging up on me and I'm being treated like a lier
3 months, still haven't gotten mine. File claim and recalled again to reopen claim after they closed it. Said they would expedite it in 10 days. I'll call back after the holiday. File a police report if they don't do anything after that.
@Alex Nope! Nothing yet. I called today but didn't get through. I will call again tomorrow. Try calling really early, like 8am eastern time. I called late today so I couldn't get through. Claim is at least open. The first claim was closed.
Someone stole $5400 from my account. 6 days in a row, $900 each time. I hope Bank of America reimburses me. FML
This is ridiculous! BOA should be ashamed! Give these people their money back!
So they said waiting to Investigate more 3 months didn't say nothing! !where the Investigate and police ,law!
Wow terrible news about this bank
I can definitely say that there is a nefarious deal going on. BofA customer service is told that EDD customer service handles those cards, and vice versa. Someone’s getting paid and it certainly isn’t the hourly call center agents nor the customers who fall victims to this scam. The state govt and BofA consumer banking heads in CA have to answer for this.
I opened a claim dispute with bofa because there was unauthorized atm withdrawal on my edd bofa debit card they closed that one out send me a new one. Well today in the mail I received a letter stating my claim was closed due to fraudulent activity . In a different letter I got the new card when I called to activate it they told me edd closed my account. I went on UI online and it isn't saying or alerting me at all. nothing different everything as usual ???? What's going on? I was so frustrated crying on the phone I don't know what to do. The thing is BofA is telling me that they need reapproval confirmation from EDD but if nothing is wrong with my EDD UI claim why would they want to flag me because I reported theft ?? So what do I do?
What if the edd sent me a message saying that I'm eligible to certified for weeks,should I wait to certified or do it now ? They said I have to certified by 1-27-2021.
I got hacked by debit card edd stolen my monies didn't pay back.
WOW. I don't know how this got to my feed but as an Australian, if this happens, you are for sure protected by Visa debit card system inbuilt to any bank cards here.
I don't leave a penny in B of A. Soon as my EDD $$ comes in, I transfer it to my own banking institution.
I contacted Bank of America months ago when I saw several people on Facebook showing hacking into customer's accounts. These young guys were living lavish from stealing other's money. Bank of America did not seam to be interested.
CROOKS!!!!!!
Bank of America is very difficult to work with. When I got my unemployment approved and they sent me a card to use. I went to the Unemployment website for my state and was able to change how I received my unemployment online. I didn't have any issues with that.
They got me for over 2000 dollars and I didn't know until bill's were denied car insurance phone.
I'm going into bank of america today.
Put me on your list.

Thanks I needed that video
When I call they answer right away ahah
Someone cleared out my account Monday and I’m yet to receive anything besides a claim number
Has everything been taken care of or still nothing??? This just happened to me Monday.
@@Ro7777 Yes I was able to get payment from EDD for the money missing
Its happened to me too,just yesterday somebody withdraw $803 in wellsfargo bank,thats why i call boa to cancel my card to make sure they will not withdraw again🙈
Exactly how does the scam work how are they doing it
Same happened here.
This happened to me. But BA gave me my money back within 48 hours. So greatful!
How much money did Bank of America receive from the bail out? Its time for millions of Americans to open a Bank of America account and overdraft a few hundred dollars. When they call you about the overdraft send them a letter saying the case is closed
Go in the bank in person and move all but $5.00 into a different account. Do that every time there is an edd deposit.
Yes, yes, move the money out
Why the need of leaving the $5 ? There's nothing wrong with moving everything out. And, you can do it online in your account portal without having to go to the bank in person. It's called Scheduled Transfer. Do it once, and that's it.
@@choongta look ..He's will help you recover all your lost and secure your account too
why i feel like banks are in on it..sue them.. thieves..
When you reopen the claim they have an additional 90 days to deny you so it takes 135 days total just to say no and tell you to file an appeal
Sues the Bank of America to frezing the people money
they got me this monday scammers are ruthless
Did you ever get your money back? It just happened to me
Let's do a class action. This is rediculous.
This is why I don't use bank's! They rip you off, all of them.
Yup I have to manually deposit my EDD money from their card. No other option despite how simple it would be to do direct deposit.
This happened to me three days ago. I have to suspend my card when I'm not using it and then unsuspend it when I need to use it. Bank of America told me to wait up to 90 days SMH.
It happened to me too and they closed my claim..I had to get a police report and I’m still waiting and this happened in October 😒
@@breeezySims same thing with me too. I’m waiting as well. File a claim with usps and the FTC too.
What are the requirements to withdraw funds from BoA debit card ? Card number & PIN, right ? Could anyone know how these are stolen ?
I’ve had my ID stolen by Bank of America 204 times.......Lawsuit!
That's why I cashed out my money right away.
That's how you handle it! Set up recurring transfer that occurs after each deposit.
Omg!
This has been going on for decades.
I had money hen pecked from my BofA savings in Oceanside over 21 years ago.
Leave and avoid Bank of America and you'll always keep your money safe. BofA will never side with you.
I usually transfer the money as soon as it gets there but sometimes it gets there at 9:00 at night or 8:30 so I never really know and sometimes the alert doesn't send me text messages or mail that I have received my money. Thank God for food pantry. It's going to be a sad Christmas.
My daughter has had this happened to her. Does anyone have a solution?
I was victim of this just now someone stole my bank card before I got it and spent$ 19866.88 I have been dealing with this for months and still have gotten nothing what can I do or who can I call please help
4k? omg that's hugeeeeee
I was on edd, there is no charge to withdrawal from BOA atm's. The BOA I went to had all out of order atm's. I went inside to withdraw at the teller. They tried to charge $5 because they said that I didn't have a BOA account.
