Consumer Narrative
On XX/XX/2023 I was the victim of an Internet Fraud Scam. I believed that the people I was dealing with were from Chase Bank and XXXX. They informed me that my financial information had been compromised and that people involved in XXXX XXXXXXXX and gambling had already taken thousands of dollars from my accounts. They told me that the only way to handle this was to get encrypted accounts and that they would help me complete that. The scammers told me that the people who had taken my money were from Chase and therefore I needed to follow their instructions. I then wired {$38000.00} to to a person named XXXXXXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX in XXXX, CA. When I got home, I realized that I had been the victim of a scam and I called the police. XXXXwo police officers came to my home. The police report that was sent to me Indicates that I am the victim of " PL 155 Larceny ; Larceny Petit by False Promise and PL 155.3501 Grand Larceny 3rd Degree, 23H Felony. '' On XX/XX/2023, a detective from the XXXX precinct in XXXX, NY called me to tell me that he was able to contact law enforcement in XXXX, CA and that the recipient 's account was able to be frozen, except for {$10.00}. Thus, {$37000.00} was on hold and did not get sent. He told me to work with Chase to get my money back. Since that date I have been working with Chase to resolve this. I was told by the Wire Department at Chase that if I got a Hold Harmless Letter from Claims at Chase, the money could be sent back to me. Claims at Chase is refusing to do the Hold Harmless Letter because they say I initiated the wire transfer. I contacted Complaint Escalation at Chase but with no success in getting Claims to submit the Hold Harmless Letter. I have tried to explain to Complaint Escalation and Claims that I am the Victim of a Crime, that my money is waiting for me, and all that is needed is this letter allowing XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX to release the funds.
