Bank of America Says “Nope!” After $4,400 Vanishes Like a Magician’s Rabbit 🐇💸

by

In a tale that could only be spun from the looms of cosmic irony, Bank of America has decided to play the role of the unyielding fortress, refusing to reimburse a poor soul whose account was drained faster than a wizard’s potion on a hot day. The unfortunate victim, one Brandon Wilson, found himself in a rather sticky situation after his unlocked phone was liberated by a band of ruffians while he was waiting for his Uber outside a bar in Chicago. Because, of course, nothing says “fun night out” like being accosted by thugs. 🍻

As the thugs surrounded him, Brandon was faced with a choice: hand over his wallet and phone or risk becoming a permanent resident of the local hospital. Naturally, he chose the former, thinking that perhaps his life was worth more than a few dollars and a phone that could probably be replaced with a potato. 🥔

Upon returning home, Brandon discovered that $4,446 had been spirited away from his Bank of America account through a series of Zelle transactions that would make even the most seasoned pickpocket raise an eyebrow. He promptly contacted the bank, which, in a moment of what can only be described as a temporary lapse of sanity, credited his account. “At that point, I thought I was good,” he mused, blissfully unaware that the bank was about to pull a fast one worthy of a stage magician.

But lo and behold, a week later, a letter arrived from the bank, claiming that Brandon had somehow authorized these transactions. “Brandon, we’re unable to approve your recent claim. The charge was authorized by you or made by someone who has permission to use the card or account,” they said, as if he had invited the thieves over for tea and crumpets. ☕️

Having been a loyal customer since the tender age of 14, Brandon was understandably miffed. He submitted another fraud claim, only to be met with the same brick wall of denial. It seems that the bank’s motto might as well be, “If it’s not in our favor, it’s not our problem.”

After ABC 7 Chicago decided to poke the bear (or rather, the bank), a spokesperson for the second-largest bank in the US, right after JPMorgan Chase, announced that the case would be reviewed. Brandon now holds onto a glimmer of hope that perhaps, just perhaps, the bank will see the light and reimburse him. “It’s clear as day that I didn’t make these charges,” he declared, probably while shaking his fist at the sky in a dramatic fashion. 🌩️
