- More than $80,000 was transferred out of a woman's Wells Fargo account to a CitiBank account, but she's not the one who moved the money. Now neither bank is willing to help her get that money back. READ MORE: www.fox13memphis.com/news/wom...

It was a very bad decision to remove the Glass-Steagall Act in the late 1990s, which led to the spectacular failure of huge banks during the financial crisis of 2007-2008. To prevent another disaster, Dodd-Frank and this statute both need to be reestablished right away. What happened with Wells Fargo is only the beginning of what will happen if nothing is done to address the current situation.
I believe Wells Fargo was making an effort to reorganize their bond portfolio. Yes, they would lose money if they sold their low-yielding bonds. But, they were trying to make up for it by repurchasing bonds on the open market at the higher interest rate.
Although the economy has so far held up, the Wells Fargo scenario serves as a warning that Fed rate hikes are still having an impact. At times like this, investors must be vigilant about the next inevitability. You don't have to act on every forecast, therefore I'll advise you to hire a financial counselor. This has been my fallback position for a while.
@@williamDonaldson432 Could you kindly elaborate on the advisor's background and qualifications?
There are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with Sharon Ann Meny for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
@@williamDonaldson432 Thank you for this tip. It was easy to find your coach. Did my due diligence on her before scheduling a phone call with her. She seems proficient considering her résumé.
Never do business with well fargo
They magically lost my 14k bonds from the 90s. Factor in the compounding interest for almost 3 decades.
Big mad
@@God7ODthat’s bullshit there dirty people and your right that’s big money sorry that happened to you
amen
This! Best banking advice EVER.
Do you say the same about Chase, Bank of America, Citibank, U.S. Bank, PNC Bank, Goldman Sachs Bank, Truist Bank, Capital One and TD Bank .
Maybe she shouldn't have fallen for a scam that FBI , Police have been warning everyone about for years .
They stole $10,000 and never got it back. Found out in 2018 and they blamed me. Crooks
Sound like they’re doing the same thing to this “customer”. They are the bank robbers.
What?? Omg!
Exactly!!!!!!! Same here with first horizon
That happened to me.
S15k. They said that I did it because I took to long to report it. Back then I didn’t have alerts and didn’t check my account daily.It was with Bank of America. Never again I will put my money there.
@@RMRen same here mine was 2600 . I think if it was 15,000 I would have made the news . It was a lesson well learned .
They need to give this woman’s money back with interest ASAP
Yes,inside job!!!
Why? So she can lose another $80,000 to some scammers in Nigeria?
@@sean2015WHY? BECAUSE ITS HER MONEY!!!
@@WonderfullyMade5518 not anymore. She lost it. Banks can’t keep your money safe if you click on some phishing email and give away your account number, SSN, mother’s maiden name and all this other information.
@@WonderfullyMade5518 not anymore, she gave it away. Banks can't keep your money safe if you click on some bogus link and willingly give away all your personal information. Which I guarantee you this woman did. Of course, the news media as usual did a brilliant job of telling only one side of the story. Two banks did an investigation into this woman's lost money and both declined to reimburse her, which tells you there is much more missing from this story.
Would you also complain about a home security company failing to protect your belongings if you willingly gave your passcode to a burglar?
This is definitely an inside job, Wells Fargo and Citibank both should be held liable and now she should sue for more than the $80K.
Oh yeah there is no doubt that people within Wells Fargo working there are definitely messing with people's money I know for a fact that they are
😅
Yes an inside job
It's definitely the employees. They know all of the processes to do everything down to changing your profile information.
Ive been saying that for years, they are a part of all the fraud their customers deal with. They need to be investigated big time
Her money was stolen the moment she got a wells fargo account. I will never bank with wells fargo again.
details please
Really? Did they steal from you too?
I pay my bills from my Wells Fargo account. I don't have any savings anywhere.
@@prettyyoungthingpyt5015 Exactly, my money is in a Schwab brokerage account transfer money to Wells Fargo to pay bills. Check daily.
@@mame-lomamee Just pay attention to the news and you'll realize that they are a dirty bank. This is not the first or the last time that you will hear about them. I think most of it has to do with their employees. They hire scum to work at these banks.
My husband and I was scammed twice last year, totaling losses over $550k. It was a lengthy process involving federal intervention to get our money back. We need more people like Retrievebackteam taking a stand against these criminals. Much love and support from California.
There is immense pain in losing a large amount of money but to garner courage to speak about it says a lot about the person’s great character.
I got scammed out of my retirement money but I was new to it. thanks for sharing will definitely get in touch with them
Sorry about that, just don't understand how so many human beings can be so heartless to people like that
I'm sorry
It seems you have valuable experience in getting recovery. Thank you for sharing the name of the company that helped you.
This bank has a bad reputation. I would never bank there
Why is it ANYONE is banking with Wells Fargo at this point?
Chase is just as worse
@@MangoTroubles-007 been with chase for a while never had any problemos
Why are you not checking your account with 80 thousand on a regular basis?
Im banking with Wells Fargo. Don’t let your password be “password” and click on “unatgtorized wells transactions” messages. My password and secreted question answers are 18 random characters long. I never use my raw debit card anywhere only apple pay or credit cards with no numbers aka Apple Card or the cup coming x1 numberless card
@@topher7716 Why? It is in a bank, not under your matress.
Wells Fargo stole her money and gave it to the thieves.
Nah. They didn’t give it to anyone. They just put it into their own accounts. 😩
Right…
No they didn't. This is all her fault for not keeping a better eye on her money and falling for a scam .
Probably her family
@@CryMeARiver63 agree 💯💯
This is going viral nationally so hopefully the bank fixes this immediately
Check your bank account everday, I don't care if its just $1 in there, always check the activity.
Why the hell would anyone use this bank *after they were caught opening accounts in people's names without their knowledge???* If you do business with a known scammer, you're going to get burned.
Trump bank
@@jeepguy4499 Biden bank.
What an idiot would say, more like Joe Biden. 😅
Some people don't know about that
The lending practices that led Wells Fargo to foreclose on homes in 2016 and in 2018, cars and homes. They’ve been busted and forced to pay out $$$ several times. In the meantime they’ve been allowed to remain in business
Sounds like an internal problem with that bank
Sadly
@@tbrwn2548 yes it's very sad that this woman who worked hard for her money has to go through this ordeal with this Bank. Pretty soon people are going to start using the mattress once again.
Exactly. Bcse if she tried to withdraw that she would have had to go through hoops. Aka why you need the $? Proof of pending transaction she needed it for? Someone, I know recently went through something similar w their bank. She thought it was an inside job. Bcse it started after she got a replacement card. She reported the unauthorized transactions. They supposedly X her debit card. Yet additional transactions came in
days later after getting a new card.
under the old.
Oh definitely. There’s no way they weren’t responsible. Bank transfers need a customer’s permission. A bank employee could have easily looked up her information and got her social security and name to do it themselves. That’s if more than one person are not doing their job correctly.
The problem is some of the management. A few years ago, I was almost scammed. I caught it in time, however, went to Wells Fargo, my bank, Yes, Wells Fargo, to report the scam. It was advised that I get a new credit card, and debit card. OK. Although I've been banking with Wells Fargo for years, they implied that perhaps I had scammed myself. I told them that I would never do that, however, they said that some people would. MOST unusual behavior on the behalf of Wells Fargo.
Creating wealth entails establishing positive routines, such as consistently setting aside funds at regular intervals for sound investments. Financial management is a vital subject that many avoid, often leading to future regrets.
Indeed, currently I'm managing my finances wisely and being frugal. In the last 19 months, my investments grew by 43%, adding over $650K in profits. However, I've had losses in the past month, making me anxious. I'm unsure whether to sell everything or wait.
I think having an investment advisor is the way to go. I've been with one because I lack the expertise for the market. I made over $490K during the recent dip, highlighting that there's more to the market than we average folks know.
My partner’s been considering going the same route, could you share more info please on the advisor that guides you.
Just research the name Angela Lynn Shilling. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.
Thank you. I just checked her out now and I've sent an email. I hope she gets back to me soon. I've been thinking of doing this for a long time now, and I've procrastinated enough already.
If this is theft, why aren't the cops, FBI, or whoever investigating? As if there isn't a paper trail of where the money went. If she's the one lying, then arrest her.
Too busy tracking down conservative protestors
Because none of them have the authority to question the bank and they never will. After all, these banks control everything.
They're too busy doing jack shit.
I kind of wonder if she fell for a scam and just wants to get her money back. Things aren't adding up. I get that Wells Fargo is garbage, but they do still have the same type of laws as all the other banks have. She should be able to get her money because it is insured by the bank. So, there is something fishy going on and I don't think that we are hearing the whole story.
Per Google:
Has anyone lost money in FDIC?
No depositor has ever lost a penny of insured deposits since the FDIC was created in 1933. The FDIC official sign -- posted at every insured bank and savings association across the country -- is a symbol of confidence for Americans.
Must be nice not to notice that $80K is missing from your account until 2 months later, if $50 is missing from my account I would call the bank immediately
She's lying. Won't appear on camera, has no statements proving that this money was stolen. Claims to have had this account for five years and only made three debit card transactions. Every time a story gets that oddly specific (I only withdrew three times in five years), it's suspicious. Where is the banking statements or any correspondence backing her up?
Also: as much as the media likes to hype up stolen money, it's not that easy to lose that kind of money and either not notice or throw up red flags at either institution. This woman sounds like a little girl trying to make up a story based on what she heard in the media, not like an actual victim.
Same here. I would call right away even if it's $1 transaction
Because people put money in the bank to draw interest. Not an account they use for checking. Just to get interest. Only they have the account number. Not sure why you clueless. Many people have 4 or 5 bank accounts because FDIC is only good for 250k.
@@jamescole3152 I think you're the clueless one. Banks haven't been paying any real interest for the past decade and a half. Up until recently, they were paying on average between 3% and less than 1% interest. Even so, you still get statements each and every month.
@jamescole3152
Most people tend to know how much money is in their account. Why did she not check her statement for five months?
Who withdrew the money from the Citibank account? I bet Citibank knows.
She needs to file a police report. Hopefully the FBI will track it if they're not too busy surveying moms at school board meetings. The truth is that it took her almost half a year to notice. That trail is cold.
She also needs to hire an attorney and sue Wells Fargo. It is clearly their error for not alerting her and checking with her in a timely manner.
@@chrisganesha she knows all this. Obviously we indians are not new to scams. She went to the law enforcement and they treated it like identity theft like any other american. Now she is mad and wants to go public blaming the bank, when she could have set up alerts on her credit agencies, frozen her account.. lots of venues.. she chose to blame the bank
@@chrisganesha She clearly didn't have alerts set up on her account. It's offered, but you have to set it up. She failed to protect herself.
Her money suppose to be cover by FDIC since it’s under 250k
Every week I buy more of whatever is the lowest percentage of my portfolio and try to keep everything around 10%. Please what could be my safest buys with $400k to outperform the market in 2024?
I'd avoid the index funds, mutual funds, or specific stocks for the time being. The 5% fixed incomes are the safest bet for now. Save your cash for when the market actually shows sign of recovery.
This is why I entrusted a fiduciary with my investmnt decisions. Many underestimate advisors until emotions lead to losses. My advisor crafted a tailored strategy aligning with my long-term goals, guiding entry and exit points for the equities I focus on. This has grown my portfolio to over $850k. My personal best so far
How can I participate in this? I sincerely aspire to establish a secure financial future and am eager to participate. Who is the driving force behind your success?.
Just research the name Angela Lynn Shilling. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.
Thanks for sharing, I just looked her up on the web and I would say she really has an impressive background in investing. I will write her an e-mail shortly.
That’s why I check my bank account EVERYDAY 3 times a day.
😂 I do too and I am broke. I do it because I swear Apple takes money every other day. 😂
Lol I thought I was the only one who did this I have the bank app on my phone so it’s pretty easy
@@Hello-iz9hl
Yes it is pretty easy to brake- in into your bank phone app .
Same
I check my bank accounts to make sure my under $500 at any given time are safe. I also have all types of alerts. Still, my heart goes out to this woman.
To take out 5k from my bank I have to call them and verify my identity, how the duck does a bank lose 80k and not say anything
Did you set that up with your bank? Have you seen the limit on deposits and transfers at Pentagon Federal Credit Union? It's $999,999.00. Do you think they would flag EVERY transfer under that amount? It's the bank customer's responsibility to set up alerts. You did well in doing so, Dave!!
@@ReddingRed no I didn't set it up, It's standard policy. Banks have no reason to allow fraud of huge amounts of money, banks have taken advantage of tax payers for decades for their failings and it's time we call them out for it instead of victim blaming.
@@daveray5655 That's not a huge amount.
@@daveray5655 I assure you it's not standard policy.
@@daveray5655I agree with Dave. That’s the bank’s responsibility to protect their customers and maximum amount to withdraw. They should have ask that question since the day the customers open the account. Banks should have been careful with other people’s money.
Citibank is insured and the account is in her name with her social security number. They should give her the money back. Who is withdrawing on the account if not her? If the money is there, they need to transfer it back to her Wells Fargo account. Isn't there a banking and insurance regulatory agency in the state that can look into this? It is grand larceny. She should not have to just take this.
Yep. Where did the money go from the Citi Bank that it can't be restored to her? If she were attempting to scam the bank she would have been arrested. This case is strange.
She is not telling the whole story.
my thought too
I stopped banking with Wells Fargo a long time ago.
It was my first bank. I got tired of calling them for charging me fake fees for no reason. I switched to chase and havent had a fee since.
what do we switch to?
@@erickkisreal9398 Capital One has been good for me.
Chase is horrible. Hidden credit card fees and they will hike interest rates if you miss a payment
@mikeg5365 I never had problems with fees in over 12 years. I always paid my card on time though.
Why is she talking to the Bank? She should be talking to the Police.
who falsifies reports?
@@ErinIsReal is that a question? I don't know friend, WHO falsifies reports? Are you implying the police have a reason to falsify the report of someone who got scammed by someone who stole her identity? Your right, she should call the FBI. Steling someones' identiy is serious biz.
There’s ALWAYS 3 sides to a story: HER side; THE BANK side; and THE TRUTH!! We’ve ONLY hear her side…so far!!
Oh so the police has her money huh dummy
THIS WOMAN IS SCAMMING THE BANK. SHE HAD SOMEONE STEAL THE MONEY AND SHE HOPES TO MAKE AN 80,000 DOLLAR PROFIT
pluse when you open A NEW ACCOUNT AT A BANk they ASK FOR A VALID DL....
You said it! I would not be that relaxed with missing money or new fees.
@@williamc2930 EXACTY! She is too unbothered.
It's what THEY do all the time.
She's lying. These banks are not giving HER money, for a reason. "I'm not ever going to trust a bank" ... BS. She took the money out and is trying to duplicate it.
Ahhh, the know-it-all who has all facts. You're just a pompous future victim.
I dropped Wells 15 yrs. ago but the bank tried to rip me off for about $4000 and I got it back and closed the account the next day
Sounds like your mistake. I've never had an issue with them.
They have stolen from me years ago maybe you didn't have enough money for someone to steal
@@richardbice980 had plenty of money for them to steal. But nobody ever stole it. User error IMO. The reason they're not helping her isn't because they don't want to 🙌🥂
@@richardbice980
😂😂
Now I trust no banks they should reimburse her money Wells Fargo is horrible ugh
She also needs to make sure she has an affidavit and the law involved. Her claiming the account isn’t hers without any legal backup to an investigation is odd for a bank.
The bank is liable, she needs to sue.
there's more to the story she is not providing.
Like another commentor mentioned, who got the money from the Citi bank account the $81, 400 was transferred to? Last time I opened an account (7 years ago) I had to provide proof of who I was, ID and birth certificate. Completely different from decades ago, so someone at Citi Bank has to know who opened the account that the $81k went into. IF it had been her the banks would have already called the police and she would have been arrested. Banks don't take kindly to scams nor accusations.
For more than 60 days she didn't notice $80k+ missing from her account? I smell a 🐀
Someone once said only poor people check their accounts daily. I’m the poor people
@@shaunaadams6924well apparently it looks like rich people may have to start checking daily too 😂

Please how can I contact her? I’d love to see for myself
She's not the only one.
So many news stories with these idiots. Bank of America is just as bad.
But this info has been around 10 years and she still banks there?
That sounds like an inside job. The fact that her account had been opened for five years and she only used it three times to withdraw money at the atm. They also have her SS number.
That's suspicious. I hardly use cash, and even I go to the ATM more often than that. The laundrymat doesn't use a POS system. I have to put cash in.
I bet she knows where it is and trying to double her money right
One of her friends. It's a scam. She made sure her friend got away with the money.
Either at the bank or someone involved with the house sale
And had to have some form of identity to withdraw 81k from Citibank
That was an inside job, check your family members or the realtor you dealt with.
Old people don't be checking their accounts like that. Especially when they have autopay and know there's more than enough money there.
They said she bought a house, maybe she was doing renovations and didn't get to check into her account.
She still needs to press charges and investigate and throw the criminal (s) in jail.
That's BS and she should take WF to court. WTF! They would have come after her with a vengeance if she had owed $10 to WF.
Why would anyone bank at Wells Fargo?
cause its a bank like bank of america or chase
Because they're somewhat decent for higher income customers. Also, they have a national branch network, which is helpful for those who frequently travel. The issue the woman experienced could happen with many other banks, including smaller ones and even credit unions. It's a lesson to regularly log into accounts and view bank statements.
@@ronbennett7885 Right that's why I have them but that account is used just for that, easy access for atms and banks. I move my money out immediately from that account
I've resolved multiple successful cases w Wells Fargo .. great experience so far
They're a good bank.
The media needs to continue to report on things like this and get people their money back from the thieving banks
I leave enuf in the bank to pay bills. That's it.
And yet, I saw another video people in Canada can't withdraw $3K from their account without proof of why they need their money, their money! Wtf is going on with us, 1st world countries?
Wells Fargo ? NEVER use THEM !
Employees have and will continue to steal your money. Employees and former employees.
The fact that the "theft" occurred in November, but she didn't notice until March...like WTH. If you have that much money in the bank you should be checking your bank statements monthly. Something seems a bit fishy from her story
Yeah that's months and it really didn't make any sense. Like seriously how did she not know after that much time had passed. Plus I'm gonna assume she was paying bills and everything with that money from that account so how did she REALLY not notice her money was gone.
Because it is. She hasn’t mentioned. Police or affidavit anywhere
@@somoody9322two weeks ago a woman had 250k stolen from her account. Guess what she appeared in the news and had her face on it. She called fbi, police everyone. Guess what within a week she had 80% of it recovered.
Yet this one is hiding without public. Why hide if you are going to the network?
I do a quick glance at all my accounts daily. These companies are shady and the faster you catch something, the better
Folk who ain’t living check to check don’t need to check their accounts like that. If it’s not a primary account and you just have it sitting that can easily happen.
Leaving your money in a basket outside your house is probably safer than trusting it with Wells Fargo. lol
I always check my balance daily, love seeing my money just sitting there waiting to be spent lol
The woman’s story, sounds fishy!
Agree!! There’s ALWAYS 3 sides to a story: HER side; THE BANK side; and THE TRUTH!! We’ve ONLY hear her side…so far!!
LOL I thought the same exact thing. If thieves have your personal information and are able to transfer money out of your account, why would they set up another account in your name at a different bank to transfer it to and risk having it snagged at that point? I also found it strange that she didn't want to show her face on camera - like she did something that she doesn't want anybody else to tie her into that activity.
Wow that's so awful that she's out of her hard earned money. I'm glad that mine alerted me via email and text as soon as someone in another state somehow duplicated me card to try to take out all of my money in two suspicious transactions.
Yep, alerts are key. Problem is many don't keep their contact information current and miss them. In this day and age, email addresses and phone numbers are not disposable. Frequently changing them will cause problems. Not just missing important information, but also authentication (2FA) issues. With that said, never solely rely on alerts. Sometimes they're not sent for various reasons. Regularly monitor financial accounts.
I check my bank accounts EVERY DAY!!! I am surprised by people who go months without checking accounts. I worked at a bank and people will neglect accounts that they have THOUSAND of dollars in!!
Sue the BANK!
The thing is ,she gave personal info to two lenders, most of the time if not allways is people from inside the institution that work for the scammers
you missed "and to the city services to pay her bills", memphis ?
@@brianblithe2271that was the part that made me go hmmm…
Progressive but work in finance and have worked with credit card/debit card fraud world.
If she had a debt with the city, using her own 80k to pay it would be better than a loan. She also wouldn’t need to get a loan for a house. That’s a great deposit for states.
Also where are the cop’s affidavit? Do they have an investigation? 80k would warrant one.
@brianblithe2271
You don't provide the city with your SSN to pay bills.
I figured that
Those lenders should be investigated
The ball was dropped on this report. What actually happened? Did anyone ask WF their side? I'm doubting she is telling the whole story. The FDIC only guarantees the customer's money if the bank closes, not for losses. There is more to this story.
Her story doesn't pass the sniff test. It's not that easy to steal that amount of money under someone's nose unless they were victim of a phishing or some other scam.
Well, thats why she is looking for help🙄
@@AtomicGirlNYC-fu9xy Seems to me that she said she gave her information to "at least two different lenders" in 9/23 (2:07). Have to wonder if one of those lenders was really a scammer.
@@Peace-nm6bx Lol it's hilarious how you're not even smart enough to understand the convo. You're a child.
The point here is not that she was not seeking help, but that she didn't explain to the media what led up to this event happening. No mention of it whatsoever.
@@BigfistJP "and to the town she resides in to pay her bills", memphis ?
This must have been done by employees! They must have kept her info, and knew she wasn’t keeping an eye on her account.

She should sue. It was probably somebody she knew.
Her accomplice or even herself.

I find this story a little fishy too
@@lb6056did you not hear her say Wells Fargo never notified her Sam he didn’t use the account much because it was her savings account
That fact that she didn't report it for over 60 days is sus. She likely fell victim to a scam and didn't realize it until it was too late. Then expected the bank to pay for her mistake.
She is part of the scam.
That is still not the victim's fault.
Imagine someone is in the hospital for 60 days.
Isn't it the bank's responsibility to make sure funds are safe?
Her mistake?
There is no law that says you have to check your bank statement every time it comes in the mail.
It could be she has had money in there for years with no problems so she got a little lax about checking her statements.
@@zenwilds2911 If you give someone money or access to your account because you are naive that is on YOU, not your bank!

Exactly!
She may have fallen for a scam but Idt she's some sinister villain. I watch a ton of these videos & this is the only one where ppl are suggesting she was a part of the scam. It's giving xenophobia tbh bc she's also the only Indian victim I've seen.

That does both ways, Jorge. You don't care when banks lose money, you care when you lose money lol.
It took her 5 months to notice that 81k was missing!
There is more to the story. I can't blame the bank on this. There is no way to transfer the money unless they know all your info
Wells Fargo, give this woman her money back. This is wrong on many levels.
Never trust the bank.
She needs to sue the C out of them. Get a good lawyer
Wait it was transferred to an account which was also under her name? Feels like she is scamming the bank. A thief would just have wired it somewhere else. Why would they go to the trouble of making separate account under her name? Also if the Citi acc was under her name how does she not have access to freeze those funds. This feels like she is the scammer.
💯 This story sounds half damn crazy. I'm looking sideways at her.
The more I read it the more I thought the same.
She doesn’t want to appear either.
She didn’t call the bank for months?
No cops and no affidavits?
There’s ALWAYS 3 sides to a story: HER side; THE BANK side; and THE TRUTH!! We’ve ONLY hear her side…so far!!
It's time that we put CEO's in prison for this type of behavior
Whoa. I left that bank last summer for reasons of seeing them in the news over and over again because of corruption. I'm glad I did.
I thought it was insured by the government. Yet government wants to get rid of cash. And Wells Fargo and citi bank are the worst banks you can deal with.
Add BoA
Chase pnc boa are close behind
Which bank wont steal your money?
Youre only covered if you're a politician or celebrity
True dat
the bank can not do this take them to court asap sue them if you have any chance of getting your money back and maybe change your bank and get a new account new card and new password get a lawyer asap 🤬🤔😤😡😠
80K and you don’t check it from time to time to make sure everything good.
Once a year or so is all anyone has to check an account, It is in a bank. Not under a mattress.
I check mine everyday
What about Christmas money. Fishy Fishy
@@pamelamlsI check mine 2x a day. Once in morning and once late night ❤
exactly.....how rich is she?😂😂😂
So the 80,000 went missing and she didn't know for over two months? Did I hear that right? Sheesh....I check my stuff daily.
She probably didn't even check online. She could have found out the money was missing until she went to the bank. I check my stuff every couple of hours.
@@pamelamlsmajority of people if not all church. She also didn’t go to the police it seems and file a police investigation either
@@pamelamls exactly. I checked twice today.
The money was also transferred to citi bank into an account IN HER NAME AND SOCIAL
i think she stole her own money. lol.
I closed my Wells Fargo account years ago. She needs a good accountant and lawyer. Citibank is also messed up. FBI needs to get involved.
Seems to me its the thief who should pay back and not the bank
$80k in deposits and only 3 withdrawals in a 5 year period.
Something feels fishy
She’s an immigrant and immigrants tend to save much more than others, it’s been proven and live off of other sources, maybe her husband.
She is receiving welfare probably
No it not why would she touch her home emergency funds
Nah, you're just poor so you don't understand.
Some people save money.
This is horrible! Her state and federal representatives should do something about this.
Who the HECK still deposit money at Wells Fargo? We never trust this bank.
Something is missing here. Usually when we hear about these incidents it involves the account owner being tricked to provide information, 2FA codes, and the like, to allow the scammer to transfer out the money. Here it sounds like Citibank allowed an account to be opened with fake ID and her personal information. If that is the case, how can Citibank wipe their hands clean of this? They were tricked and it's not that woman's fault if this was the case.
She's a fraud. Won't appear on camera, has generic statements about "not trusting financial institutions." Everything is vague, just nothing but hearsay.
I agree. Citi would be liable if they allowed someone to open a fraudulent account in her name. Thanks.
She applied for loans. Some places ask for a copy of your drivers license. If you open a bank account online, this is exactly what the bank does. Their software reads your ID.
From the report all but the phone number were her valid information.
Wow! A talking pillow!
I've opened accounts at two credit unions sitting at the same computer that I'm typing on now. One is based in Tyson Virgina and the other is in Vienna Virgina. I'm 2,780 miles west of them in California. They never saw me! How were they to know that the person giving all the correct information was ME? Because I had all the right data to give.
If i get passed 10,000 bucks I won't keep it In a banking account
People are stupid as F for sure.... But sometimes some people make so much money they have to keep it in the bank.
Because of the I.R.S.
They suck. Literally.
Good thing you will never have to worry about that
@@kap1526 u calling me broke me no picture on your profile 😂😂😂
@@ThotamasPrime the cut runs deep in these fools! It's unbelievable
Where would you keep it?
Somebody stole my PERS SEIU money along with cashing out my life insurance by fraud power of attorney then erased my policy from the insurance system around the same time i changed my name. I never got the death certificate for my old name and the courthouse been not cooperating with me to sue Vital Records. But whatever. It should work itself out later. ❤
Who has $80,000+ just sitting in a Wells Fargo account. That was her first mistake.
Do credit unions only
She don't pay attention smh. changing banks isn't gonna help.
Yes it is. Wells Fargo is the worst bank of the planet so changing banks is obviously going to help for any potential future problems.
@@alananderson7903 It won’t, She didn’t pay attention. Same problems will happen
again.
I don’t believe a word she is saying. I believe there are limits on how much you can transfer within a specific time period. A large transfer should raise red flags immediately preventing the funds from transferred between accounts. You should always check your account balance for any unusual activity. There are safety measures in place that help identify a person before an account can be opened.
Wells Fargo is the reason I don’t trust banks I been saving working as a kid all my money was gone
There should be a requirement for all financial institutions to work together in a situation like this to resolve the issue. If it turns out to be fraud by the account holder, then charge the person accordingly. However, to simply tell someone it's too bad when their life savings is stolen by fraud from the institution that is trusted to protect its customers is unacceptable. Cops can steal your money from you if you carry your money with you, and banks can 'lose' your money if you trust them. There is nothing wrong with the system though.
Agreed. However, WF isn't going to lose $80K unless they're forced to. Best hope for this woman is litigation. Might find an attorney willing to take it on contingency for a percentage of the proceeds. While seemingly odd, it's all too common for customers to not regularly view bank statements. Account holders have some responsibility too. It's not all on the bank, much as many would like it to be that way. This could happen with smaller banks and even credit unions. Also, this highlights the importance of keeping one's address, phone number, etc up to date with USPS, their state DMV, and who they do business with.
maybe she can go withdraw the money from citi... it's in her name.
@@ronbennett7885before litigation there’s such a thing is an investigation. She should have gone to the police. Maybe with the bank’s guidance but without an investigation no bank will ever believe you. Think about it. What if the fraudster is her?
I bet a bank teller stole it.
No these bank tellers really do have the ability to do this to people in Wells Fargo tellers definitely do across this country
Have a friend steal your money, then blame a scam.... then 2 people get $80,000
ALWAYS KEEP $50 -$200 in your CHECKING ACCOUNT in the bank to pay bills!!
The answer is spreading money around. Plus, regularly logging in and viewing bank statements. Can't wait months to report fraudulent activity.
she only made 3 withdrawals since opening her account 5 years ago
She should go to the citi bank account and request access to that account.
FDIC insures up to 200k per person. So her story doesn't really make sense.
The introduction of a Bitcoin ETF marks a groundbreaking moment in the cryptocurrency world, merging digital currencies with traditional investment methods. This innovation could stabilize Bitcoin prices and broaden its appeal to a wider range of investors, potentially increasing demand and value. At the heart of this evolution is Sarah Jennie Davis, whose deep understanding of both cryptocurrency and traditional trading has been instrumental. Her holistic approach to investment and commitment to staying abreast of market trends make her an invaluable ally in navigating this new era in cryptocurrency investment
The wisest thought that is in everyone's minds today is to invest in different income flows that do not depend on the government, especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a good time to invest in gold, silver and digital currencies (BTC, ETH... Stock)
I have heard about her excellent trading expertise in CNBC news, guess she's more popular in United States
YES!!! That's exactly her name (Sarah Jennie Davis) so many people have
recommended highly about her and am just starting with her from Brisbane Australia
I thought I'm the only one that knows her well I guess her good reputations speaks for her now
This sounds so good and i would like to be a party to this, is there any way I can speak with her?
I don't believe her. Did she pay tax on that money? Where did it come from? Did her own family member "borrow" this money from her? Who had her I.D.? Let's hear the bank's side of the story.
She's lying. It's not that easy to simply lose that kind of money unless from carelessness, like if she'd given her information out to someone. And if the second account is in her name, how come she can't withdraw it? She's full of it.
Are you part of wells fargo?????
It sounds like you are.
@@Peace-nm6bx I personally have not done any business with big banks since Chase cheated me on a credit card in the recession of 2008. Cancelled them all and don't bank there.
@@AtomicGirlNYC-fu9xy Yes, once again today's "journalists" have not run down the full story. This is routine now.
@@Peace-nm6bx are you an economic illiterate
Sounds like you are
More to the story. These people get scammed out of their personal information and they don’t want to admit it.
This is what I suspect as well. She was careless with her personal information so scammers got her money. Meanwhile, she's blaming the banks instead of herself.
My sister is a client with that trashy bank so stop your hate.
@@Peace-nm6bxI don't know what's worse, your non-sequitor or the fact that you aren't smart enough to even convince us that you're older than 11.
More likely that someone at the bank who had access to her personal information had an accomplice and opened the other account.
Exactly
What’s annoying to me is that they won’t refund a woman’s $80,000 but if they accidentally deposit $1 million into your bank account and you spend it you get in trouble. The bank system are filled with crooks. I really feel bad for this woman. She should sue
I worked for WF in the wire transfer department. If a transaction like this does occur we were to call the account holder(s) and verify they are in fact authorizing said transaction. If not, it was denied.
There is NO way this should have happened. The bank employed us to make certain that fraudulent wire transfers didn't happen. This is the sort of thing that triggers a SAR which should have set off all sorts of red flags.
WF is responsible for this....
We check and document the status of all our accounts on a monthly basis just so we know where we are at financially throughout the year.
Makes it interesting to look back months or years to see how far we have come.
Mane they took that money to Southland
Who leaves 80K sitting in a bank account and not in an investment firm? Dave Ramsey is shaking his head.
What's fucked up is that if it was a bank error.... they will prosecute you
Well the. Fuck no. I’ll never give the bank my money again
There’s more to the story. This is too vague. Sounds more like she’s trying a new tactic to scam banks.
What happened was an inside job. A lender or worker did all of it
