The branch manager told him she couldn't access the bank account either and had to call corporate, he wrote in a Facebook post.

"She called corporate and was told there was 'suspicious activity,'" he said.

"I contacted the government agency that oversees the banks. They have a web page for filling complaints."

"I filed six complaints before I got my money back."

"What the f**k this is the second time in one year. I’m done with them," she wrote, alleging that the bank didn't even text her.

"It’s just crazy how someone can get into your account and take your money."

In the comments, others shared similar stories.

"I closed my account two to three years ago when they did something similar to me," wrote one person.

They claimed the bank charged them for closing the account.

"I hope I don’t have those problems because as soon as my stuff switches over I’m out," Theresa replied.

Bank of America says it will attempt to contact clients if it suspects fraud on their accounts.

The bank's Online Banking Security page warns that it would never send emails with instructions to share personal information, including  Social Security numbers and PINs.

LEAVING SOON

Earlier this year, Bank of America confirmed it would close over 50 branches in 2024.

In March, the company closed locations in Massachusetts, New Jersey, Missouri, California, Georgia, and New York.

Closures will continue throughout the year, at least through early November, according to data from OCC.

These are coupled with the 108 closures that happened last year.
