Fifth Third Bank
Wound up in middle of computer scam Ripoff

I signed up with an internet organization called Arts and Crafts, Inc from London, England. Gentlemen involved were Dan Scott and James Bromley. The job was called a Bookkeeper/Rep.
Job entailed receiving cashier's checks and money orders from there customers and cashing them and wiring the money thru Western Union. The total amount stolen from me was 15,078.85.

When i went into Fifth Third I had asked the first teller to please verifiy the fact that a cashier's check from Gilbert Marcus in Georgia was real because it looked funny to me. The teller took it upon herself to declare it a good cashiers check, stating that if it wasn't she would take the blame because she approved it. That particular cashier's check came back to the bank on the 7th day, but because i had more than enough money in the account to cover it, they did not bother calling me about the situation. I received this copy 14 days later.

I came back into the bank obviously numerous times doing the same job, only to ask questions about money orders and if they could please verified if they were good, the teller informed me they had a number to call, but again refused to verify it since i had enough money in the account to cover them.

According to the criminal attorney that i talked to, i am simply a victim of both Arts and Crafts, inc of London England and the Fifth Third Bank. Fifth Third Bank has lied numerous times to me, telling me since i had a black balance that my ATM was now in place, and i could access my account on line to see just exactly how many charges they had in fact hit me with.

They said to go ahead and write your checks to pay your bills only to have them bounce the checks, and tell my ACH items that the account was in deed closed. So they have been holding more than 15,000.00 in my account and refusing to honor any checks or ACH's.

They also refuse to do anything about the amount even though they were truly involved. They refuse to reverse the charges of overdraft even if this is a fraud situation. They feel that i had to be involved in the whole situation. Which i was not.

The branch in Oswego, IL does not care about its customers, they only want to make life as difficult as they can make it. Let's face it, they charge you charges just to make money because they cannot find a better way of earning money from customers.

I had money wired into this account to cover my lose and they refused to post it for 6 days. Just so they could get their money. They reversed items that had cleared the bank while it was still in the black.
