PNC bank has been very unprofessional, and has an extreme problem with security. I am a victim of business fraud. My business partner opened a fraudulent corporate account in which earnings for the business can be deposited into the account but I can not access the account or withdraw my money from it as it was setup in a deceptive manner to allow the partner to embezzel funds.in speaking with several branch managers and PNC officials it has been proven to be a clear cut case of bank fraud. My partner opened the account with his social sec. #, not the standard businessFed. Tax ID. He only placed his name on the signature card, set it up as a "DBA" account. However, he then had the corporate, not DBA Deposit slips printed by a private company and placed the corporate name which includes my name on the deposit slip so any checks made out to me can be deposited along with his own and other company checks. However, I can not withdraw my money as my name is not on the account set up or signature card. I discussed the situation with several managers, the head of bank security and they all agreed it was a clear case of fraud and embezzelment and urged me to pursue it as such. They also told me if I wanted to I would not be allowed to set up an account in this manner - it was not legal.
The bank has been notified on all local levels since August. However, nothing has been done to shut this account down and incriminate my partner in his crime. I was just told today by the Regional-PNC Manager that she or the other managers involved will not help me or give me more info on what to do as they don't want to get involved and everyone is concerned about their own jobs, not the bank, its customers or any security issues. A PNC trainer from Philadelphia even told me it was probably an "inside job" and it "happens all the time". Because it probably is an inside job, when I call for info on my business account I get treated like the criminal and I am the victim.
