      On July 3 2024 my checking account was hacked by someone who said they were a supervisor and worked at cash app. I am a 65 year old veteran who was being seen at the Little Rock VA that day,I was hungry and had no cash me and remembered I had $113. 00 in my cash app account and a cash app card in,which I had never used before,so I called the number on the card did I have to activate the card. This guy told me there was no money in my cash app account and then said he was going to have to move $500.00 out my checking account to my card and I thoroughly told him. not to do that, and while I'm trying to get him to stop I'm looking at my bank balance fall. Then he took$1,000, $1,000,$2,000
      $1,000,$1,000. Then on the 4th of July he took another$1,000, the whole while trying to explain to me that he was trying to put my money back in my account. I never heard anything from First Security Bank about what was going on until later the evening when I called them and told them what was going on. They put it under investigation and offered me a $2500 payment and said but it their findings show it was my fault or had something to do with it I had to pay the money back to them.So it seems they think I was part of a money scheme in which I was not.So they took my remaining money out my account and closed it and told me I had to find another bank, and said I owed them $2500 in which I was threatened into paying it back thru the mail. I had been a member of that bank for at least 7 years never a hot check,returned check or anything I had a savings and checking account with them. I lost $6500 thru a scammer

      Business Response

      Good afternoon,

      I am writing on behalf of
      First Security Bank “the Bank” in response to a complaint filed by Burl
      Copeland.

      *** ******** notified the
      Bank of the charges he wished to dispute on 7/5/24.

      A letter was mailed to him on
      7/8/24 to inform him that the investigation had been initiated, and a
      provisional credit of $2,500.00 was issued to him for the two remaining
      transactions.  The letter also stated that the provisional credit will be
      reversed if the Bank found that no error occurred.  The Bank concluded its
      investigation and determined that no error occurred.  Copies of merchant
      documents were mailed to *** ******** along with the investigation conclusion
      letters on 7/26/24 and 8/7/24. The conclusion letters also stated that *** ******** would need to resolve the case directly with the merchant, and that
      the provisional credit provided to him was revoked.

      His account was sent to
      collections and charged-off.  Letters were mailed to him requesting
      payment on this balance on 8/9/24 and 9/9/24.

      The balance has been paid in
      full, concluding *** ********’s relationship with the Bank.

      Please contact me if you need
      further information or if I can be of any assistance in resolving this matter.


      Best Regards,

      **** *******
