Do not, whatever you do, open a Wells Fargo Business Account. They are not FDIC insured against fraud. Someone logged into my husband's Wells Fargo accounts, both his personal account and his business account, and withdrew $7,500 from his business account. That was all the money he had in it and all the money he had to pay for taxes on his small business. The transfer was to a JP Morgan Chase account that he had never heard of before. Wells Fargo has opened a claim, but it has been months now and they haven't reimbersed him, they have made no progress and they have been no help getting him any information about his claim's status. He closed down both accounts and opened new ones that were supposed to be untraceable, but yesterday someone logged on to his accounts again. This time they didn't take anything, but he had to close down those accounts and start over for the second time. Both banks have the name of the individual and contact information of who took the money, but Chase says that they let someone open an account without getting any information from them and that the account is now closed with an $8,000 remaining balance. If someone had walked into a bank, asked for $7,500 and the bank had just given it to them, they would be liable to replace that money because they didn't verify the person's identity. The internet is no different; in aiding in the transfer of funds they have driven the getaway car for whoever has stolen this money. They should split the difference and pay him out right. It would be cheaper than going to court.

WRONG WRONG WRONG!

AUTHOR: Jim - (USA)

POSTED: Monday, August 16, 2010

FDIC is NOT the regulator in a case such as described.  I double checked.  The FEDERAL RESERVE is!

 Contact them!  Contacting the FDIC will only be wasting your time and you will be refered to the FEDERAL RESERVE by them.

Assistance with filing a compliant

AUTHOR: Ken - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Thursday, August 12, 2010

Contrary to Jim's arrogant assertion, the FDIC concerns itself with much more than failed institutions.  I work for a financial institution supervised by the FDIC.  If an unauthorized transaction is made on any consumer deposit account, we ask for a copy of the police report, require the customer to sign an affidavit, and generally credit the account that same day.  Business accounts are not afforded the same protections as consumer accounts, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't file a compliant. 

 

The suggestion about invoking the Federal Reserve is misguided.  This customer should write the FDIC.  Complaints may be filed online - https://www2.fdic.gov/STARSMAIL/index.asp or via mail: FDICConsumerResponseCenter,

2345 Grand Boulevard, Suite 100
, Kansas City, MO64108
.  Number: 877-275-3342 (Monday - Friday 8:00 am to 8:00 pm EST) 703-812-1020 (Fax number). 

 

I can tell you from experience that complaints are not ignored.  The institution will respond to the FDIC.

Anonymous, Make sure to 'Google' this- DOUGLAS REED- THE CONTROVERSY OF ZION- INDEX- SITE BY KNUD ERIKSEN, and read 'Chapter 17' of that book on the web....

AUTHOR: Karl - (USA)

POSTED: Thursday, August 12, 2010

then read 'Chapter 15', okay?



After you do that, make sure to 'Google' this- ORIGINAL DISSENT WHO CONTROLS THE U.S. ECONOMY?, and take a look at all of the people who are pictured there. I believe that the Wells Fargo CEO is pictured last, correct?

You Don't Know What You're Talking About!

AUTHOR: Jim - (USA)

POSTED: Wednesday, August 11, 2010

Before you start mouthing off about an entity, its only COMMON SENSE you know what the hell you're talking about!

Do you know what the FDIC is? Nope!  Do you know what the FDIC does? Nope!

The FDIC protects depositors in case of BANK FAILURE.  FDIC has nothing to do with the fraud type case you outlined.  Repeat...NOTHING!

You do have a bargaining chip however.  If indeed you've heard nothing from WFC regarding this, contact the branch manager and tell him/her directly: "We've been very patient in regard to this matter.  We've heard nothing from you and you've made no progress in this case.  We have filed the required affidavit of fraud (assuming you did!) and now we want the use of our money.  If you don't comply with our request, you leave us with no alternative but to bring in the Federal Reserve".

The Federal Reserve is the government body which regulates and enforces banking laws.  Go to their website to find the office which services your area and do what they say.
