F*cked in the ass by a romanian?
ok, so i check my wellfsfargo online at 230am yesterday and i see that there are two charges, one on thursday, one on friday...for $262.42, the first one had gone through, the second one still pending. being completely baffled AND discombobulated by this, i call wellsfargo to see wtf is up. I guess i forgot to mention that these were not credit sales, they were ATM withdrawals!!!! so that immidiately caught myself and the wellsfargo lady by surprise. I told the lady my only idea, that it was in a foreign country and the exchange rate was what could cause the odd amount. But they had no address for the ATM, just the general description....on said "united bucharest", the other, "travel bucharest". I now found out that Bucharest is in Romania, now the question remains how the fuck did they take money out of my account from an ATM being as i still have my card. So basically nobody knows whats going on and currently Im out $524.84 AT LEAST ten days, if not permanently (which would be the case if they cant prove it's fraud). This really sucks not only cause that was over half of my checking account, but because my other money which is in Walmart stock, would need to be taken out in order to continue paying my bills. I have been saving that for six months for trips (spring breaks, euro graduation trip some friends and i are planning, and whatever comes up.) This would really torque me off, obviously.
Also, even before this, i have just felt generally depressed/neglected the last few weeks...in case any of you wanted to know, dont know what to do, dont think anyone can really help though, dont think im "consolable" (word we argued about at work, it was retarded, just a goofy thing that started, but i said it was a word and nobody believed me, but i was right!) anyways, probalby no casino for a while at least if any of you actually wanted to go, being as i dont really have much money.

Any new news on this?
no news as of yet, wells fargo is supposed to call me sometime this week, and if they determine it is fraud (which they better or theyre gonna hear from me!!!) i get all of it back minus $50 on next tuesday probably. Unfortanately I am responsible for the first $50 either way, stupid wells fargo. I get paid tomorrow, and as long as my insurance payment wasnt taken out today (havent checked yet) i shouldnt overdraw. If this gets straightened out Im going to the casino soon though ;) lol...so keep your calendars open people
Hey;
My daughter also has an account with wells fargo. She lives in california and has never been in Bucharest, but between 10/18 and 10/20 someone made atm withdrawals against her checking/savings acct. She has contacted wells fargo, but not sure if she will get her money back since she found out about this on 11/3
A letter was sent to my house in DL on monday...in it was a new card...and a letter. My dad opened it because he thought it was his, even though it said Jr. (he does this quite frequently, i just think he like opening mail alot) anyways, the letter said that they had investigated the incident and that they had deposited the money in my account (minus $50, the maximum i am responsible for apparently)...so i checked my account, and i didnt have the money, still dont. And to top it off, i just finally overdrafted my account and they still charged me TWO OVERDRAFT FEES, what kind of bullshit is this...they said the whole thing would be resolved within 10 days...its been 21!!!!!!! I should definitely get extra money for this...they should at least pay me the interest on the money i had to put on my credit card because of this cause this is ridiculous.
If you are with wells fargo, when you call customer service ask for the number of their fraud department or unit. My daughter got scammed by this bucharest deal also.
But when my daughter contacted the fraud dept/unit, she explained the situation about the atm withdrawals from atm's in bucharest, she got all her money put back the following working day.
