I went to the local branch of the Wells Fargo Bank to pick up a 10-99 form to file with my income tax return. The 10-99 form was for my savings account. I had not received the form in the mail.in fact I never received but one 10-99 in the mail since I have had an account with Wells Fargo. I have never received any statements on my account, so therefore I thought my money was safe. Before the Bank became Wells Fargo, it was Victoria Bank and I received statements.
When I spoke to a representative of the Bank, I was told that my account had been closed on 8/17. I never received any statement from this bank so, I had no idea that my account had been closed. I learned that someone had withdrawn the entire balance of my savings account. I was shocked. The representative of the bank showed me a copy of the withdrawal slip, the signature on the slip was not mine, it was a forgery. The name on the check show Deborah XXXXXXXX and was not in my handwriting. My name is Debbie not Deborah.
To my knowledge I do not know how someone obtained my account number. I have not lost any paper work that is associated with this account. Therefore I think it was someone associated with the bank that committed this fraudulent act.
