Reporting police report over impersonation on October 15th 2024 1104 to 1259. The number called was 1 657 423 8782. Originally, it started as a Text Message which occurred on the 14th of October 2024 at 1427. The text message stated “Bank of America: You attempted a $3500 withdrawal. If this was you respond “Y”. Not your transaction? Simple respond “No.” The request immediately prompted a phone call from 1 657 423 8782 11 minutes later which attempted to start this process, only to be stopped by the Bank of Americas being closed due to Federal Holiday.
He stated he would follow up with this request tomorrow at 0800. He didn’t call back until 1104 tomorrow.
The October 15th 2024 phone call starting at 1104 requested me to Wire Transfer funds to a Navy Federal Credit Union bank account. He claimed to be a Bank of America Fraud Specialist Charles White and a Private Investigation should be conducted. He stated that two fraudulent transactions occurred. The first one was $3500 and the second one was $9970. He stated that someone was impersonating me in Fort Worth Texas, the first using an ATM and the second through an iPad. He claimed a leak of information occurred in which a Private Investigation needed to be done to determine who. Upon starting this call, only the $9970 was in question, at no point was the $3500 replicated. The Fraud Specialist claimed to want to replicate the Wire Transfer transaction due to the fact the account was under investigation and my account was under heavy surveillance.
Upon starting the Wire Transfer he wanted me to recite how much funds available was stated on the Bank of America website.
The Fraud Specialist wanted me to replicate the Wire Transfer transaction as he claimed it was in a “processing” state with Navy Federal Credit Union. I proceeded to go along with this and started a Wire Transfer on the Bank of America website. The Fraud Specialist requested to submit information based on myself. He wanted to submit a Same Day Wire transfer which had a $30 Additional Fee that he claimed would be voided. I was given an account number which I don’t remember. I was told to repeat the confirmation number to the him in which was "insert alpha numeric here" upon completion of this transaction. He claimed to be Kevon Gardener, which is a different person.
Once this transaction was complete, he proceeded to want to physically transfer my $13,000 to his Google Wallet. He wanted to verify which Bank of America I was going to in which I stated I was going to "insert Bank of America address". He was going to speak with the manager at this Bank of America to brief on this Private Investigation in attempt to prevent the person who may have originally attempted to withdrawal my money.
This involved staying on the phone call for the entirety of this transaction. I ended up changing out of my uniform to go to the Bank of America at "insert address". I was given specific instructions to withdrawal $13,000, if the bank teller didn’t accept it to ask for a lower amount, state that it was for home improvement, was given a duress word of “yellow” and was told to stay on the line the entire time, having the phone in my pocket. I proceeded to drive to this Bank of America at "insert city here". I parked at the parking lot of this Bank of America at 1200 October 15th 2024.
I entered the Bank of America with a phone call going in my pocket. I stood in line to eventually be called up. I asked to withdrawal $13,000 from my Bank Account. The Bank of America manager proceed to approve the daily Withdrawal Limit. I obtained $13,000 with it’s receipt transaction. I proceeded to make my way back to my car. I got back on the line with the "claimed" Fraud Specialist.
He stated to establish a Google Wallet account on my phone. I established one. I enabled NFC on it. He gave me a temporary Bank of America card ending in "****" at around 1230. This connected to the Google Wallet in which showed his 3 Bank Accounts on it. I was told to physically transfer the $13,000 in bills to the account ending in "****" via the Google Wallet. I physically did this at the Bank of America ATM outside of the Bank of America I pulled money from. I was told several times to select no receipt due to this being a “Private Investigation” leaving no trace of evidence throughout the process. After this transaction was complete, I was told to remove the Google Wallet account I had added to my phone. I removed the temporary Bank of America card from my Google Wallet.
I then drove to a nearby parking lot, still on the line with him. The Fraud Specialist stated that he would start the investigation of the monies involved typically lasting from 12-24 hours, which really was just an approval process for the funds to be successfully transferred. He would send a portfolio PDF of the transaction to my email that he recited. It was my comcast email address. We closed out the call claiming that I can now go about my day. The phone call lasted 1 hour 55 minutes and 42 seconds.
I ended up going back to my work office and briefed what occurred. About 3 hours later, or 1530, my office came to the conclusion I was scammed. I ended up calling the 1 657 423 8782 number back to not get a response. The number called me back with 7 minutes and started conversing. I asked for what the status of my transactions. I asked where the PDF on my email was. I asked for his name, which sounded like the same person, stated Christian Reid. I asked for this employee number, which he stated 51A, he then started rambling about the case was 76% complete. I interrupted him asking for a ICAN reference number, in which he proceeded to state it was a Private Investigation and wasn’t able to give the number, then stating the case was 77% complete.
I had this call on speaker the 4 minutes and 8 seconds only for my coworker to blurt out that the 4321 number on the back of my debit card would have given a ICAN reference number.
The Fraud Specialist then hung up my phone call. It occurred to us in the office I was scammed and proceeded to go the same Bank of America in attempt to reverse these 2 transactions.
It got to the point where I called the Wireless Transfer specialist 1-800-432-1000 twice. Once on the 15th and again on the 16th. I am now in a claim status for the electronic wires transfer. The Google Wallet transaction does not have any trace due to no evidence, as I was tasked to not provide. I followed up with these two transactions on October 16th 2024. I contacted Google Pay and Bank of America. Bank of America cannot see the ATM deposit even though it was done in the same Bank. Google Pay cannot see the transaction either and I am unable to provide information over the claim
Currently I have no Portfolio PDF of anything occurring in my email. I only have records of the successful Bank of America Wire Transfer which I attempted to reversed the same day.
