Consumer Narrative
My Navy Federal account was closed months ago without a written explanation. I was involved in a situation where someone sent me funds and persuaded me to forward them through apps like XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, and XXXX. I believed it was legitimate at the time and followed their instructions. Later, I realized I was being manipulated and may have been used in a scam. I contacted Navy Federal and spoke with a security rep named XXXX. She told me that they would not provide a written explanation and said it had already been explained over the phone but I never received any details in writing. I requested a written closure letter, transaction history, and information about the alleged fraud. All were denied. I am not a criminal and had no intention of wrongdoing. I now understand that I may have unknowingly been used in a money mule scam. Ive lost access to my account and funds and have been left without documentation to clear my name or dispute the closure. I am asking for assistance in getting transparency and a fair review of my situation.
