Money orders are supposed to be a SAFE way of sending money, right? NOT WITH BANK OF AMERICA!
I bought a WESTERN UNION money order, filled it out, and mailed it off to the person I was paying.
The money order never got to the intended destination.
A THIEF had stolen some mail and helped himself to the contents, including my money order. The money order was, thank GOD, only $20.00.
The Postal thief changed the name on the money order to his own and it was VERY obvious that there was changes made to the money order. I have seen it. He did not change the intended address on the money order, and if Bank of America had done their JOB, they would have refused to cash this. No way would the thief have had this Louisiana address on his drivers liscense.
Bank of America DID NOT I.D. This thief, and gave him my $20.00 that was intended for someone else. Who knows how many others they have ripped off in this way.
I filed a complaint with the Postal Investigators and they finally caught the thief. This was something he'd been doing for some time. Others had filed complaints also.
I called Bank of America AND emailed them several times to get my money back that they so carelessly and freely gave away to a thief.
They refuse to give my money back and stated they DO NOT have to check an ID to cash a money order EVEN IF IT HAS BEEN CLEARLY ALTERED!
I have their emails stating this! They didn't deny that they'll give your money, the HONEST person's money, away to a low life postal thief.
So, I wanted to pass these FACTS along to other victims of Post Office mail theft that Bank of America SUPPORTS the criminals and will GIVE them your money, if a stolen, and forged money order is presented to them.
On Bank of America's website, their Chairman and CEO, Kenneth D. Lewis, states something like "we help you to achieve your dreams".
His company also helps criminals achieve THEIR dreams and the HECK with the honest public.
His company STOLE my money by giving it to a THIEF that very obviously altered, and FORGRED the money order.
And they have the nerve to tell me on the phone, and EMAIL me, saying they DO NOT HAVE TO CHECK AN ID TO CASH A MONEY ORDER EVEN IF ALTERED OR FORGED!
They still refuse to give me back my $20.00.
It is going to cost me $12.00 to get a refund for the MO from the MO company.
Bank of America should pay the whole $20.00.
If it wasn't for Bank of America, this particular crime would never have been successful!
And they have no remorse for their victims.
