Tony says "I got a pop-up on my computer that said my Bank of America account had been compromised. I called the number on the screen and they transferred me to someone who said they were from the Fraud Department. They had me log in to Online Banking and provide a security code that I received by text. While I was on the phone, they told me they were protecting my money by moving it to a safe account. I can now see two Zelle transactions for $2,500 each. Also, there is a debit card purchase from Best Buy for $1,200 that I don't recognize."

Last week Tiscia received a phone call from someone claiming to be from Bank of America's Fraud Department. They told her that her account had been compromised by international hackers and that her money was at risk. They transferred her to another 'specialist' who instructed her to go to a financial center and send a wire transfer to a 'safe account' to protect her funds while they investigated.

"I went to the branch and wired $18,000. The next day I received another call asking me to send an additional $7,000. That's when my son told me it sounded suspicious. I never sent the second wire. I want to file a fraud claim and get my money back."

The client personally went to the financial center and authorized the wire transfer. They were deceived, but they participated in the transaction.

“Mr./Mrs. client, when the money is sent by you, even if you are tricked, it is considered a legitimate transaction because you are the one that sent it. Fraud is when someone pretends to be you or steals your account information and sends the money without your knowledge. This is why it is very difficult to get the money back once it is sent, but I will make a request on your behalf to the other bank to determine if the funds can be returned.”
