Wells Fargo is involved in a scandal
Luther Tarwick, a man from Atlanta, Georgia, claims that someone withdrew $1,960 from his Wells Fargo account without his authorization and the bank is denying responsibility for it.
According to Tarwick, his account was illegally accessed by a bad actor who stole his money.
He was notified by the lender that fraudulent transactions were being attempted on his account almost a day before he lost his funds.
“This guy is asking me about all these transactions, and attempt transactions taking place and I’m like… wait.”
According to Tarwick, the money was taken from an ATM and the bank could simply use its surveillance system to verify if it was him, reports claim.
“Whoever walked up to that ATM, if he’s not 140 pounds and has a small scar right here [below his left eye], that’s not me…
Nobody I know has that amount of money to just hand out. I need all of my money back.”
Tarwick has been attempting to recover lost funds for weeks now. However, Wells Fargo denied his claim stating that he would not be reimbursed as his PIN was used to make the withdrawal.
Tarwick’s claim was firmly denied, but after WSB-TV sent an email to Wells Fargo, the bank appeared to change its stance and is now investigating the situation.
It’s not just Tarwick living in Metro Atlanta that has an ongoing dispute with Wells Fargo.
In November, the Pischke family lost $14,000 in their Wells Fargo account after someone transferred the money to a Mercedes Benz Financial Services account. It was indicated that someone bought a flashy car without the family’s authorization.
The Pischkes submitted the necessary paperwork to recoup the funds, but Wells Fargo is standing by its decision to deny the claim, according to the reports coming from the online publication the Daily Hodl.
