  If? She reported it to the police and the bank as soon as she saw what was happening. Oh, and this is the same bank that is more than willing to give credit cards to illegals. How UNAMERICAN is that?

  Their is no such thing as identity theft. The real name for identity theft is bank malfeasance./The bank is giving your money to unauthorized people without your authorization. that is not identity theft . That is the bank trying to get out of responsibility for giving out your money with out your permission. The bank should be held responsible for all liability,for their mistake. It has nothing to do with the person who had the accounts. It is the bank's and credit cards that are the thieves.

  It figures! It's Thief of America who doesn't care about anything but their greed. If she died or was put out on the street with nothing, the Bank of America couldn't care less!!!

  I just want to know when my bank turned evil.

  I've had the same bank account for over 20 years, first with a Savings and Loan, then with a series of banks over the years as first the S&L crisis was resolved, then a number of mergers and acquisitions took place.

  For about the last 7 or 8 of those years, the account has been held by BoA. Things started off fine, to me a bank was a bank, and BoA seemed to have more convenient locations for me than the predecessor it bought out.

  Then, it seems like about 2 years ago, something happened. They've screwed up my accounts several times. They've sent me notices that they've "adjusted" my balances (always in their favor, not mine), and given me a total runaround over why this has happened. And, let's face it, my standards aren't very high. If they'd have just said, "we credited a deposit into someone else's account into your account by mistake", I'd have been satisfied and let it go at that.

  It sounds like they are trying to cover up for their incompetence.If the BOA employees pull vigorously they might be able to remove their heads from their arses. What a bunch of iceholes. Well BOA will not be a bank of mine.

  Well this certainly is not the Bank of America I remember. A bit of history. I was an employee of Security Pacific Bank which was taken over by Bank of America. I was with them for about 3 years till I was downsized. That Bank of America (the San Francisco bank) was about 5 years ago taken over by Nations Bank (Charlotte No Carolina) but the name was kept the same.

  Whe I worked for the bank and even with some other banks I have accounts with I often will receive calls verifying that I made transactions. It especially happens when the transactions are out of state from where I live.

  I have even been called to verify gas purchases at a station less than 50 miles from my home, this by my Credit Union.

  On the face without more facts this sounds like the Bank did not take proper care to verify transactions of such a large value from a client with normally small value transactions.

  You cannot fault the bank when someone obtained enough personal information to verify transactions to a seller when that transaction (home shopping, etc.) do not require a confirming signature.

  You can though fault the bank for not noticing an extreme change in normal activity from a customer such as large number of Home Shopping where not existed before.

  Not knowing the full details is it possible the report to police and the bank was made late, though you have a time to report after becoming aware (via statement).

  I suggest using online banking to all and verify you accounts at least a couple times a week for fraud activity.

  In this case go to HTTP://FEDERALRESERVE.GOV. Follow links to regulations and review REG E (electronic Trans) and REG AA (Unfair & Deceptive practices)

  REG AA also provides information of where to complain. If there is a violation of Fed regulations they could go so far as to pull the banks charter. Be aware of how to help yourself .
