Consumer Narrative
On XX/XX/ my phone account, email and bank account at Bank of America was hacked and completely wiped out in the amount of {$68000.00}. There was a transaction of {$5000.00} from my savings and several other transactions from my checking totaling fairly around {$18000.00} to a bank account in New Jersey. They contacted my phone company canceled my account and ported my phone number over to XXXX so they could receive notifications from my bank as well as approve the transfers, how they were able to do that? Your guess is as good as mine! A very sophisticated crime I would say and a huge security risk for everyone who trust the banking and phone system! I was out having dinner with my family when my card declined, I checked my bank account and I could not believe it! All the money I had was completely gone! I have not had money to feed my family, pay my bills or my mortgage for that matter no money has been returned to me for the past 15 days and I have suffered. I dont even know how were making thru, it can only be God at this point because Bank of America dont care until their investigation is done, until then we suffer! I closed the bank account opened another one but Bank of America said I must wait 10 days for the investigation which could possibly go to 90 days if they dont reach a decision, its pass 10 days at this point, so at 90 days what will happen to me and my family? XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I live a straight and narrow life and here I am suffering. It seems the bank put me through more hoops than they put the scammers through that stole all of my money! Please I need help on this matter before I lose everything Ive worked so hard for all of my automatic bill payments that were connected to my account are now being declined and I dont have any access to my money to pay it, I am in over my head. Please get someone on this matter as soon as possible! I have no idea what I could have done differently as I do not share any of my pins or personal information with anyone, this is a huge problem for me and so many unsuspecting others. What Ive learned? Dont keep all of your money in one bank!
