Consumer Narrative
I entered a verbal agreement to exchange currency with a person over XXXX. He agreed to send me {$27000.00} first, then I would send equivalent amount in XXXX to a XXXX a/c designated by him. On XX/XX/2022, he sent me an image of wiring ( the exact subject transaction ). On XX/XX/2022, the subject wiring was settled and that amount became fully available in my account, and then I followed thru by wiring XXXX XXXX to the account designated by him. After learning that the subject transfer was a suspected fraud from Key Bank on XX/XX/2022, I filed a police report with XXXX XXXX. I also reached out to the XXXX bank that I wired XXXX from, and asked them to recall my wire, but they told me it was too late to recall that wire transaction. At this point, I stand to lose all of the {$27000.00} if you return the money to the sender and I would become a victim of either fraud or misoperations of banks. I have tried many times since my account was blocked, reaching out to KeyBank customer service, fraud department and the XXXX branch where my account was opened. Despite so many different phone calls, no one in Key Bank had ever told me that there was fraud on this incoming wire or asked me about it. This transaction is part of an agreed currency exchange of XXXX currency and USD with this person. And I already wired the XXXX amount equivalent to {$27000.00} to the person as per the agreement, after I saw this income wire of {$27000.00} was settled on XX/XX/2022. If you return this wire, I would lose all of {$27000.00}. I opened a police case on this potental loss with XXXX Police in WA. The case # is XXXX. I now urge your bank to honor the settlement of this wire transfer and unblock my account.
