Consumer Narrative
I received a statement in the mail from BMO Harris in XXXX. I called immediately. Spoke to person who said account would be closed and details forwarded to their fraud department. I also filed a report with XXXX. I assumed everything was taken care of until I just received another statement and discovered there is also a checking account. I did not authorize either account. I have spent over 3 hours on hold and being transferred around trying to resolve this issue with the bank. I believe that the account may have been opened by an employee of BMO Harris fraudulently to gain incentives. Thank you for looking into this problem
