Bank of America Sues ID Theft Victim
New York Post Reports that Bank of America Wants Their Money - from the Victim
The thieves allegedly used her accounts to make purchases on Jewelry Television, Shop NBC, QVC, and Home Shopping Network. On one September day alone, her bank statement showed 37 transactions to Jewelry Television that lowered a single account balance from $9,286 to $5,074. The day before, nine transactions to Shop NBC made a balance in another account go from $913 to a negative $3,993, according to the New York Post article. Carlo ended up with a total overdraft of $20,000 before it all ended.
Carlo thought she did everything right: she called police, filed a report, filed an affidavit of fraud, and repeatedly protested to the bank, who according to Carlo, did not reply. Her efforts to clear up the situation were delayed when her mother and brother died, and she ended up in the hospital for heart failure and pulmonary embolism. When Carlo got home from her three-day stay at the hospital, she found a court summons under her door informing her that Bank of America was filing suit against her.
The bank claims that the $23,312.04 was money that Carlo used on the two-month shopping spree after she already depleted her entire savings account worth $38,000. Bank of America declined to comment to the New York Post, but Carlo said, "It was enough to open a jewelry shop. Why would I do this? The bank is a bigger villain than the thief."
In the report, Carlo tells reporter Chuck Bennett that a separate $30,000 seven-year CD also disappeared. According to Carlo, she never received a phone call or alert from the bank that her accounts were being used excessively for television shopping, and inquiring as to whether the charges were being made by her. Carlo wants to know why the bank did not see the huge overdrafts and do something about them. She said int he report, "What kind of bank would give an overdraft of $23,000? We are not talking about $100."
Carlo is a retired clerk with New York's Human Resources Administration and lives on her $2,110 per month pension and Social Security disability benefits. She has hired a lawyer, and according to the lawyer, she has lost a total of $68,733.77 in the alleged identity-theft scam.

Gloria Carlo is an joke,that its best!!!!!!!!!!!!
If I was ever a victim of identity theft, they would get nothing but a bunch of bad credit and debt. LOL. Banks are money hungry. That's why the government had to bail them out. I'm dealing in cash from now on.
I received a fraud mortgage from BOA 2 years ago. I have a lawsuit and have filed about 12 complaints with Occ, FDIC, FTC, Atty. General, Ofeho, Fannie Mae, etc.
Watch the movie on CNN called "house of Cards" about mortgage fraud. Then you will hopefully start to see what is going on with the mortgage industry. Noone will go up against BOfA. Ken Lewis, CEO, has used $45 trillion dollars of homeowners money and did not give it to any homeowners. Madoff did the same thing and he is in prison.
The FBI, the President, the government, - no one will hold BOFA accountable for anything. I guarantee you what goes around comes around and BOFA is the worst bank out there to lend a helping hand.
we never lived in arizona. but Bank of America, Pgoenix, Arozona sued my son as he used a credit card in 2992.
So the bank lawyer sued him and got a default judgment in July of this year. He never had the purchase bills or any oher document on the t on the opening the account. He did not get any summons fomerly. But the bank got a sefault jusgment from Nassau County District Court. How this could happened in this democaractic country? Who can destroy this net work of ID thieves?
Can anyone help us?
WE SHOULD START A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST THEM! EMAIL ME AT MOTOWNFOREVER@YMAIL.COM. I WAS RIPPED OFF AS WELL
Bank of America now is demanding to pay two large amoiunts foo two fake accouints that the thieve or bank insider opened in my name. I fild the affidavits about the fraudulent accounts, but the fraud dept. head Mirjana Petrovic without sending the result of lthe investigaiton defamed son as a cheif suspect. Now it sent to me another afffidavit to be filed for Ac# ...407031 which I never opened. It should send to me any evidentially papers. They harass our family as terrorists. The government should protect the innocent civilian from the crook's harassment. The government should investigate these guys who are trying to make money from the innocent people, if the victims are are fireugbersm they are more agressive. The thieves lhould be sent to the jail.

This is scary. Last year I was a victim of identity theft and it is no laughing matter. Thankfully my bank was very cooperative.
