      The Local Amscot notary public does not know that they are required by Florida law to provide a jurat or notarial certificate when they notarize a document? Are Amscot employed notary public not know their profesion? How unprofessional! He even called "corporate" to ask, unbelievable! Long story short, he offered to return our money because Amscot notary public could not provide us a jurat or notarial certificate, which is required by Florida law. What gives Amscot?

      Re:       ********* *****

      To Whom It May Concern:

      Amscot is in receipt of the consumer review of ***** ******** (“Mr. ********”). We thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. Upon a careful review of this matter, however, there does not appear to have been any error on Amscot’s part.

      Mr. ******** came to Amscot to cash a check.  Federal law requires Amscot and other financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies those individuals who conduct certain tractions, such as cashing checks.  Accordingly, Amscot requires customers to show valid government-issued photo ID and to provide their name, address, date of birth, a social security number, information regarding their occupation, as well as other relevant information, such as the transaction details.  This government-mandated practice is prominently displayed in the lobby of each Amscot branch.  The same information, along with Amscot’s privacy policy, is also available on Amscot’s website. 

                  In this instance, it was necessary for Amscot to verify the check before cashing it.  Unfortunately, verification was not possible at the hour Mr. ******** came to the branch.  Accordingly, Amscot was unable to cash Mr. ********’s check at that time.  This decision was entirely unrelated to Mr. ********’s race and any claims of racial profiling are without merit.

      Amscot sincerely apologizes to Mr. ******** for the negative experience.  Amscot has reached out to Mr. ******** directly to address his concerns.  Mr. ******** has stated he is happy with the resolution.

                                                                              Sincerely,
                                                                              Amscot Legal Department

      I was at ********* in ***** to get a loan and pay my electric bill. A young lady named ***** was extremely helpful, as I had not done this in a long time. She made what was a somewhat cumbersome process to go through so easy, and she was nothing but pleasant the entire time. I would highly recommend ***** to anyone going to store 18.

      Very horrible customer service. Went for a ********************** order. **** said I had to fill in a form . Never in 20 years have I had to do that. **** didnt explain anything just walked away. Then another lady came over to do the money order and walked away as I refuse to give my social if ur not telling me why . Then a guy came over. Was very unprofessional. I asked for the paper back with my information. He refused and quickly put it in the shredded and it jammed. He stated he could not give me the paper because it had amscot logo on it. But it had all my person information. I spoke to corporate and was told yes they are supposed to return my information to customer when requested. The guy would not even cut out my information to give back to me. So why am I going to trust u with my social if ur business is doing shady things.Needless to say. Went to another amscot and had zero issues. Poor customer service and that was the icing on the cake. Not an amscot I will be using. Very unprofessional and not exceptable. FYI use caution , if they do this what else are they doing

      They have my money of $385.00 and can't help me find it in a uncashed money order that I purchased and won't give me back my money. This has been since July 2023. I have contacted them like 5 times and I keep getting the same run around. They keep saying they have thousands of people who purchase that amount in a money order from that particular store but I say it wouldn't be cashed because I accidentally shredded it. They say they can't find any evidence of it for 7 years and then it would go to the **************** after 7 years. This is not right.

      I was shocked at how *************** the female store clerk was when I came back in from charging my phone. When I first walked in I was greeting by the polite and respectful ***** she instructed me on how to do everything cause she recognized that this was my first time doing this process. When I had some difficulties sending in the correct documents here came *** with a condescending tone and slick sardonic remarks telling me to listen with my ears and when I sent the correct document blurting out Finally I asked if she was ok and she ignored me and told me shed be right back and went to go help another customer. I missed a signature and she was flinging the paper through the slot Id sign and pass it back and shed fling it through the slot again. I hope there where cameras in there cause she need training anger management and a hug I do not recommend letting anyone interact with *** she had glasses and a *** styled lace front. Just in case those are not ther real names and they change it out. She said let me know when you get the code I asked did you send it to the right number cause Im not getting anything she replied I sent it to the one you gave Im like what kind of response is that could you please repeat the number outloud to make sure its correct it was the correct number but she never sent the code like what is going on
