Consumer Narrative
I have fallen victim to a widely reported scam targeting XXXX XXXX XXXX customers using the XXXX money transfer service. {$3100.00} was stolen from me. The scammers were impersonating XXXX XXXX XXXX customer service, spoofed the XXXX XXXX Customer Service number , and knew various account details with XXXX. Upon reporting the scam to XXXX XXXX XXXX I was a asked to submit a variety of paperwork and file a police report. I was able to also provide the scammers bank, last 4 digits of the account number, and first name the checking account was registered under. I complied with all of the requests made by XXXX. The case investigating this claim was then shortly closed, and I was advised to contact the recipient of the stolen funds ( I.E. the scammers ). Neither the police, XXXX XXXX XXXX, or XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX have helped me resolve this issue. The fraudsters also tried to use my identity to register for benefits using through California XXXX via the " XXXX XXXX '' app. No one from the California XXXX office has returned my calls or e-mails. Recently I was contacted by XXXX notifying me that I was being kicked off of XXXX for violating the Terms Of Service, but they would not specify what rule I had in fact violated. The terms do however specify that you can be kicked off the platform if you fall victim to this type of scam.
