Consumer Narrative
On XX/XX/2022 I was contacted by XXXXXXXX XXXX about suspicious charges on my XXXX XXXX XXXX Approximately, {$14000.00} was fraudulently charged. I verified with XXXX that these were not my charges. They stated my address had been changed online and they updated it to my actual address and sent me a new card. The new card was intercepted by the fraudster and mailed to their home. XX/XX/2022 the newly issued card had approximately {$12000.00} fraudulently charged. Again, I called in and verified with XXXX that these were not my charges. They issued me a new card which was intercepted again by the fraudster and on XX/XX/XXXX, {$12000.00} fraudulent charges were posted. I have had to call XXXX 5 different times regarding this. They have nothing in place to verify address changes or suspicious activity on an account that already has recorded fraud. I just called XXXX because {$8000.00} is reported on my credit report. The person I talked to was not from the United States and was very unprofessional and would not answer my questions. He kept telling me my card would not be sent because the account was frozen. I called to find out why {$8000.00} was on my credit report and he became very rude and talked over the top of me and would not listen. I had to raise my voice and talk over him. He told me my fraud charges were under investigation but he would not answer my question as to why, of all of the charges that have been fraudulently posted to my XXXX account, {$8000.00} is hitting my credit report. I would have prefer to speak to someone who is more helpful. I ended up hanging up on him because he was rude, unprofessional, inept and obnoxious.
