Consumer Narrative
On XX/XX/2023 a fence contractor XXXX XXXX of XXXX asked me to XXXX him {$3500.00}. The payment options were XXXX or cash to obtain village permit and materials before beginning the construction. I thought the bank would protect me from fraud or fight the other bank on my behalf to get my money back especially if there was a scammer and fraud involved. They have not even tried. My bank ( Bank of America ) said there is nothing they can do but as his bank ( XXXX XXXX ). They should have protection against scammers and fraudulent transactions. People like him should not be protected. His account should be over drafted or frozen not protected. The fact that I have to be the one fighting instead of the institution is unacceptable and unfair.
