Wachovia Bank
Accusing me of being a part of a check casjing scam after banking there for quite some time! Ripoff

Business & Finance

I recently deposited 2 checks into my account that I recieved from an "internet Job". Been doing biz with Wachovia long enough that they should have known I would not have intentionally done any thing so stupid. However, after they placed a hold on one check (the first deposit), they did the same with the second one - unbeknownst to me because they gave me a few hundred cash back on the deposit.

They gave me a hold release date on both but On the day the hold was to have been off of the first deposit, they didn't release anything but allowed my account to appear positive via online banking, When I called to check balance thru automated system, was told the hold was off a few times.

Then out of the blue, they tell me that one check was being returned. I understood that but I was under the impression that when you make a deposit, You were to be told if there would be a hold at that time.

I wasn't and it was made inside the branch. They sent me back one check that said nsf do not redeposit, the next thing they sent was a copy of a check that said Fraudulent item.

Now I'm getting calls from the Loss Prevention Guys and when I tried to answer his questions, he was so ugly to me that right now I hate to talk. I realized by the way he was grilling me that there was a problem. But when I commented to him that I hoped it wasn't an internet scam that I'd seen a few days earlier, and that I didn't want to get tied up in a scam, he was just rude when he said to me, No sense in talking about that cause (as he said ti me)..."You already have.

I'm sick behind this because I want to just put this behind me, keep my bank account open and pay them any monies I owe them. The reps they have calling me is very threatening to say the least. I just don't understand why after so much time I have been using them they would think I would want to rip them off, Any comments / Suggestions?
