My thoughts exactly someone stole money from my account on hold several times two different claims horrible customer service and I still dont have my $323 bucks back they want you to give up
It only takes 5 litigants to file, however I don’t know why they are not on the horn with the State Attorney General!!! That is what that position is to represent residents of that stat! Also your local state representative for your residential district!

When these People get this Money they SHOULD immediately Transfer the Money OFF of that Card into another Account at a Reputable Banking Institution. DON'T Use bank of America.
No, they can simply refuse to accept this option. Direct Deposit is safer and people who already have "checking" accounts have debit cards too. The state is making a percentage from the bank by allowing this to happen. F--k B of A. DIRECT DEPOSIT is and has been in use for over 20 years and it is the customer's choice to decide not EDD.
It's hard to transfer right out cuz the bank is never on time on depositing the money and their text alert system is a POS so you never know what time it's in there
Wow that’s so true, it just happened to me today. They said I had to call edd and I talk with them, they said that edd might just need you to verify your ID, try to go to the edd website and verify your information
Yes..yes..yes!!! You are so right! I am not only a victim of fraud, but I am now battling a identification verification process due to my account with b/of/a being compromised they have completely frozen my account as they say until EDD verifies my identity but yet EDD says the bank needs to unfreeze my account. Its just a mess and all I get is a complete run around from both agency's!
facts!!! cuz my mother is still waiting to hear anything from anyone. they keep saying call this number then those ppl are saying call this number and OMG the fuxkin wait to talk to an actual person. idk what’s happening but they need to fix it.
WE HAD $134.OO CHARGED TO EDD FOR FOOD DELIVERY IN CALIFORNIA. THE ACUTUAL CARD HAS NEVER BEEN IN CALIFORNIA OREVER USED IN CALLIFORNIA. I BELIEVE THE NUMBERS WERE STOLEN BY ONE THE THOUSANDS OF NEW EMPLOYEES AT EDD IN THE MIDST OF THE CHAOS AND NEW COMPUTER SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE.
I want to reiterate what the last customer said. The Bank has a contract with VISA to both protect cardholders from fraud and to cover all losses from fraud. I would also say that in the issuance of these cards, EDD employees have access to all personal information of claimants. That means it is possible that this is an inside theft. Ultimately, this debit card program has a security breach and all EDD claimants should refuse to accept that isn't set up with direct deposit.
This happened to me too..$2600 was wiped out. The BoA customer service said go to the bank, the bank says call customer service. It took a month of back and forth, hours of being on hold..but I did get reimbursed. Don’t give up, keep fighting back!
@@loldieok Sure! I added all of the fraudulent charges on my statement. Then called B of A card services to let them know I had those, then they went through and wrote down all the charges, then cancelled the card. Then I was told to go to the actual bank (BofA) and they would supposedly give me a new card. The bank teller said no, that they weren’t able to and I’d have to call customer service back..that’s who deals with Visa EDD cards, not B of A bank or EDD. I did and they said go back to the bank to get the card. I did, spoke to the manager that time, and no luck. When that didn’t work, I called customer service back asking for their manager. I explained to him that I was frustrated, given the runaround and needed my money for bills ASAP. “Since I had so much trouble”, he finally was able to refund the amount that was taken out, and sent a new card in the mail. Basically, I’d call customer service(number on back of the card),ask for management and let them know you are relying on that money and tried everything! Good luck🙏🏼

@@griseldaperez947 today i got 263 stolen. From a atm at a city that i have never been to. All bofa did was replace my card and i doubt they will give me my money back
@@griseldaperez947 did edd freeze ur moms card? I got sent a new card but the bank did not let me activate it untill i called edd bcus supposeslt they froze my account/card bcus of the fraud. All these thieves out there free mean while we are the ones to pay consequences? Doesn't make any sense :/
Its because of the recklessness of bofa using old tech in the edd card. If they chipped it, im pretty sure this would have never happened. The magnetic strip have been proven to be unreliable and easily hacked and bofa still used it
I have been saying the same thing. I know so many people buying into Bitcoin. Its a ponzi scheme, we should know that. The real tragedy is going to be when we realize at a certain point, Bitcoin doesn't solve the problems of economic insecurity. It seems like its actually a great way to reward people who are already rich in dollars to invest in it. And for those who don't have, much will be taken from them later. Currencies that are not regulated by natural rather than manmade terms are used to usurp and displace value. It's sad really.
Why anyone would leave money on a card that has unemployment benefits on it is nuts! You should remove your money the day it is deposited on the card, also have it deposited directly in your bank account! Stop treating unemployment debit card as secure credit cards!!!!!
I do that as well after seeing the news stories from way earlier in the pandemic I decided to just transfer straight to my account every single time so then I don't have to worry about that.
That’s EXACTLY what I did! It took us 2 mo this and 40 hours of emails and calls to get my money after someone broke into my EDD account and changed My address to a Michigan apartment- and took about $2k. Got my money reissued - and IMMEDIATELY deposited it from the card.
Or go withdraw the money from the ATM immediately. Youncan get upnto 1k a day. But at thebteller idk the limit. Or simply as OP said transfer it all immediately
@@bashiruddinahmad408 Same thing happened to me . I got my money back In 5 days . This is happening to alot of people because they choose to be calling edd for assistance. Nobody will help you... you need to help yourself in getting your money back which is very simple and easy.
*I’ve reached out to Bank of America and I asked them SPECIFICALLY: “WHY HAVE YOU FAILED TO PROTECT THESE VICTIMS FROM FRAUD?”. They declined to answer the question! But a spokesperson for the bank said that’s it’s working with EDD to fight legit fraud.*
Man you haven't heard of ACH frauds (google it), I think debit cards when used correctly are indeed safer, this particular issue I suspect foul play within EDD (more likely) or BoA.

1. As soon as the money is available, withdraw all of it from the EDD account. 2. Open a credit union checking account. CUs are not-for-profit community banks. Your money isn't at risk. (Note: pick a large credit union) 3. Deposit money into credit union checking account (It's FDIC insured for up to $250K). 4. Use your checking account debit card. The debt card comes with the chip and pin which is more secure than the EDD cards. Don't deal with Bank of America.
Thanks for helping these people get back what was stolen from them. BofA has not been kind to me over the years, either. They take so many fees that it's ridiculous. Services are becoming more limited as time passes.I hope that stricter bank regulation is coming back after all of this deregulation over the last four years.
i had the same issue.... i lost over 7500 dollars to this !!!! i agree we need a class action suit it started right around the same time. this was posted..... i cant believe this was that serious (wow)
Actually I've been scammed so many times and a good friend introduced me to *hackerkozza* via IG and i just have to take this risk to get my account unfroze and get my money back but I'm just so glad he help me, he even work beyond my expectation ..
all of a sudden my money disappear, i called the bank for the whole week, they put me in hold for hours, finally they just send me a letter telling me that it was foul.
This is bullsh*t!! I received the same exact letter!!! And I’m still waiting for my money! I’ve been certifying with EDD and they won’t give me my money because I had to file an Identity Verification!! This is ridiculous!! I was the one that suffered fraudulent activities!!!
My account was frozen by B of A on December 17th. I am now getting checks from EDD. There were $2,465.00 in fraudulent charges from different states and countries obviously not by me. They even told me they could see that those were obviously not me. I still haven't had my account unfrozen. I also had about $500.00 in my account other than the fraudulent charges. I need my money and i wish they would just let me get my money out of that bank account. and then i can throw that card away that way i never have to deal with this bank ever again. Thank you for your concern to this matter. My name is Tina M. Viera i live in lodi ca.
Just so you know this isn't just bank of america's unemployment, it also is happening to people with current bank of america checking accounts. They've been shady for a while.
Everyone is. It's just that bank of america is a shitty ass bank. I had opened a savings account with them, and someone went into a branch and stole 80$ of my $100 in that account. It was only open for 2 months. As soon as I get my money back, I'm gonna close that account asap.
What happens I just got the same claim closed letter on bofa card for filing a dispute they said edd closed my acct but edd UI online doesn't say anything about closing my acct . What do I do
Between the EDD system and Bank of America they have no clue how this happened...... incredible how scammers are smarter then well educated government employees.😂
Why the need of leaving the $5 ? There's nothing wrong with moving everything out. And, you can do it online in your account portal without having to go to the bank in person. It's called Scheduled Transfer. Do it once, and that's it.
I transferred all of my funds once my deposit hit. Plus, I have text alert and I set up restrictions to the app. I received a letter from BofA that my card was compromise and they sent me out a new one without me contacting them. I am glad that I set up all these precautions
They just took most of my money from my edd account yesterday. I am extremely scared that i wont get that money back. I hope the fraud department comes through
This is terrible! And big banks were bailed out with taxpayer funds a few years back during the recession. This is the thanks taxpayers get in return. 😡👊
3 months, still haven't gotten mine. File claim and recalled again to reopen claim after they closed it. Said they would expedite it in 10 days. I'll call back after the holiday. File a police report if they don't do anything after that.
@Alex Nope! Nothing yet. I called today but didn't get through. I will call again tomorrow. Try calling really early, like 8am eastern time. I called late today so I couldn't get through. Claim is at least open. The first claim was closed.
Bank of America isn’t responsible for EDD. They just supply the Visa debit card. Any claims of fraud is a problem with the government, not Bank of America.
Had this happen to me. I was lucky there was no money on my edd card because I withdraw the money immediately, so these thieves weren't able to get anything.
I can definitely say that there is a nefarious deal going on. BofA customer service is told that EDD customer service handles those cards, and vice versa. Someone’s getting paid and it certainly isn’t the hourly call center agents nor the customers who fall victims to this scam. The state govt and BofA consumer banking heads in CA have to answer for this.
Do any of these people have any coorelation as to places theyve visited? Is it a bad employee stealing card info(all the info you need for onlinepurchases or card cloning/duplicating is on the card itself, name, address dont really matter because it aint really a legit bank card) or are these people who dont have security on their phones and have been compromised. Sometimes sketchy apps keep monitoring your phone activity.
I got mine and I never used it even once. Ever since the card mailed to me, the physical card never left the house. I don't even know how that POS got my info. Good thing I checked and caught it early. I got 2 flatulent charges and both from Doordash.
@@jasonfernandez3387 I did! I got all my money back after 1 day of calling them! They told me that have gotten too many of the similar calls. I didn't even need to explain much for them to understand my situation. At least on my case they did a good job. Scammer/hacker took under $200 from my account, a relatively small amount, so it might be quicker for them close my case. I wish you the best of luck!
I just realized 2 days ago that there were 6 fraudulent big orders of door dash in December of 2020. I called Door dash themselves and since they realized I never had a door dash account and it was fraud they returned the money the next day.
Somehow someone managed to swipe a card at an ATM and take 1k out of my account and bank of America basically told me they can't do anything... I don't even know what to do there's nothing we can do
Bank of America is very difficult to work with. When I got my unemployment approved and they sent me a card to use. I went to the Unemployment website for my state and was able to change how I received my unemployment online. I didn't have any issues with that.
Yup I too had my money stolen out of the ATM about 40 miles from my home, while I was in possession of the debit card. 😞 At this point I've chalked it up as a loss.
I contacted Bank of America months ago when I saw several people on Facebook showing hacking into customer's accounts. These young guys were living lavish from stealing other's money. Bank of America did not seam to be interested.
How much money did Bank of America receive from the bail out? Its time for millions of Americans to open a Bank of America account and overdraft a few hundred dollars. When they call you about the overdraft send them a letter saying the case is closed
I opened a claim dispute with bofa because there was unauthorized atm withdrawal on my edd bofa debit card they closed that one out send me a new one. Well today in the mail I received a letter stating my claim was closed due to fraudulent activity . In a different letter I got the new card when I called to activate it they told me edd closed my account. I went on UI online and it isn't saying or alerting me at all. nothing different everything as usual ???? What's going on? I was so frustrated crying on the phone I don't know what to do. The thing is BofA is telling me that they need reapproval confirmation from EDD but if nothing is wrong with my EDD UI claim why would they want to flag me because I reported theft ?? So what do I do?
I just want to let everyone know that they Unfroze my account, also, will not return your money. I want to help everyone out under here that is going through the same shit as I am. First of all, let me explain what happened to me, someone stole money from me and when I reported it they sent me a new card and froze my account. I spend almost 2 months contacting BofA and EDD getting tossed back and fourth. One thing you have to be sure of is that you’re account is good with EDD and if your account if frozen call EDD and ask for paper checks because this process takes forever. So make sure that they send you checks, if you’re receiving checks that means you’re account is good with EDD. Next what you need to ask for from EDD is an “EBP IDENTIFICATION VERIFICATION LOG”. From BofA just call and request “Unfreeze Requests”. Just do that as much as you can. Call everyday and request these, that’s what I did. Now my account is unfrozen. But this will only work as long as EDD is sending you checks and as long as EDD says that you’re account is good on their end
I have two cases with Bank of America. My edd card has been shut down. Boa said I had requested a new edd card and the address is in New York. I never lived in New York and I never requested a new card.

This happened to me three days ago. I have to suspend my card when I'm not using it and then unsuspend it when I need to use it. Bank of America told me to wait up to 90 days SMH.
I don’t get how they have so much money in their account?? Sounds spiffy these are the people who actually don’t need the money if it’s going to sit in their card as savings!
WOW. I don't know how this got to my feed but as an Australian, if this happens, you are for sure protected by Visa debit card system inbuilt to any bank cards here.
They got me for over 2000 dollars and I didn't know until bill's were denied car insurance phone. I'm going into bank of america today. Put me on your list. Diago Fuller San Diego CA. Thanks I needed that video
I received papers from the EDD saying that I was collecting unemployment while I was working. I was lucky to intercept to the 2nd EDD debit card and I wasn't getting benefits. So this person collected for 3years. . I received a call from a rep from my EDD back in March of 2020. I work for IHSS as a caregiver , and my nephew who's disabled is my only reciepent. And because im related to him I can't collect unemployment. Our union is trying to change that but it's not changed yet. So I'm really pissed off. Sara
Omg! This has been going on for decades. I had money hen pecked from my BofA savings in Oceanside over 21 years ago. Leave and avoid Bank of America and you'll always keep your money safe. BofA will never side with you.
Is this happening in specific states or is just all across and also is it only for people who are using the EDD card to make purchases instead of transferring the money somewhere else?
Somebody used my sisters child support card with bank of America last year for over a year paying prime Amazon n she is deaf, we had to change her number n then months ago they sent a letter n claimed she was not scammed. My sister did not noticed it until she did not have a lot of funds at the grocery store. She don't have an Amazon account. They were not helpful how they came to this conclusion n they did refund her money. Child support went from chase n then boa. NVR happened with chase n were in Vegas. Amazon wouldn't even tell us who was making these 12.99 Amazon payments on line from this account that my sister did not have. Boa is known for this bs!
The way they were treated by the bank is disgusting. The bank emplyes dodged Responsibility and left these people in a hole. Get better customer service & do your job.
I have a police report about the person who was caught with a card reader and numerous blank cards and a bunch of magnetic foil strips. And my EDD ATM bank card. along with 5 other people on that police report. they were caught with someone's stimulus check . Iv even went to the fraudulent address to see who had my identity and called the detective from the location. was told that i needed to go to the police station where i live and file a stolen identity report. and it was out of there jurisdiction to do anything about who was committing the fraud
This is not just California its has happened to me here in Kentucky where we were pushed to use Bank of America but according to Bank of America their cards cannot be hacked
I've had more than $17,000 that they've taken and I switched to checks then they started cashing my checks with a fake ID and Edd keeps hanging up on me and I'm being treated like a lier
Igor cortinovis. .. Iim on disability and someone hacked my card and I need money to buy my medicine and go to the doctor for my disability.. and I lost my medi cal because they said I make too much money from my disability. So I lost medical and food stamps .I've been working for over 25 years and I have major back issues due to a car accident.. I call pretty much every day and I wait 6 to 8 hours. I wake up 5:30 in the morning to call Bank of America and I'm on hold and they either tell me to hold or transfer me or they just hang up. It's been over 2 weeks I've been trying to file a claim.. it's like a full-time job trying to file a claim with them. And why do I have to have Bank of America card why can't they direct deposit to a different card.
Thank you for reporting. Would like to see reporting on all the people that can't get their money still, however partial, and their experience with customer service and getting through to fix things. I am open to discuss how hard it's been along with 2 agents threatening to disqualify me simply because they didn't want me asking too many questions and wanted to end the call.
They need to do a class action lawsuit against Bank of America

Well I don't know how to say a big thanks to *hackerkozza* on Instagram he has done a great job for me of too
I am a victim of ID theft myself and Bank of America needs to pay the victims back!!
Samd here they took 500 dollars
They took 3000 from my card
They should contact the United States Secret Service. They deal with bank fraud.
@@griseldaperez947 today i got 263 stolen. From a atm at a city that i have never been to. All bofa did was replace my card and i doubt they will give me my money back
@@griseldaperez947 did edd freeze ur moms card? I got sent a new card but the bank did not let me activate it untill i called edd bcus supposeslt they froze my account/card bcus of the fraud. All these thieves out there free mean while we are the ones to pay consequences? Doesn't make any sense :/
The "cashless" society. Ummmm, No.
You know they’re going to keep pushing it though, and say “Covid 19 can spread on bills” to scare the people. 🙄
Its because of the recklessness of bofa using old tech in the edd card. If they chipped it, im pretty sure this would have never happened. The magnetic strip have been proven to be unreliable and easily hacked and bofa still used it
Right!
I have been saying the same thing. I know so many people buying into Bitcoin. Its a ponzi scheme, we should know that. The real tragedy is going to be when we realize at a certain point, Bitcoin doesn't solve the problems of economic insecurity. It seems like its actually a great way to reward people who are already rich in dollars to invest in it. And for those who don't have, much will be taken from them later. Currencies that are not regulated by natural rather than manmade terms are used to usurp and displace value. It's sad really.
@@wj3186 bitcoin is digital cash, that's why there is a value to it..
Why anyone would leave money on a card that has unemployment benefits on it is nuts! You should remove your money the day it is deposited on the card, also have it deposited directly in your bank account! Stop treating unemployment debit card as secure credit cards!!!!!
That's what I did
triple v 101 That was a smart move!!
@@kingdomsounds1310 Indeed it was
I do that as well after seeing the news stories from way earlier in the pandemic I decided to just transfer straight to my account every single time so then I don't have to worry about that.
kyle smith I am fortunate to have people in my surroundings that keep me from being a voluntary victim!!!
Here's some advice. As soon as you get your Money you Transfer the Balance to your Primary Bank Account.
That’s EXACTLY what I did! It took us 2 mo this and 40 hours of emails and calls to get my money after someone broke into my EDD account and changed My address to a Michigan apartment- and took about $2k. Got my money reissued - and IMMEDIATELY deposited it from the card.
Or go withdraw the money from the ATM immediately. Youncan get upnto 1k a day. But at thebteller idk the limit. Or simply as OP said transfer it all immediately
Set up VALUE LOAD alerts too for email and text so you know when theres a deposit!
I should've done that from the start...I regret that sir
@@bashiruddinahmad408 Same thing happened to me . I got my money back In 5 days . This is happening to alot of people because they choose to be calling edd for assistance. Nobody will help you... you need to help yourself in getting your money back which is very simple and easy.
Everyone should sue Bank of America, because they failed to provide security to the cards. And everyone should get their money money back.
Close your BOA accounts. Both BOA and EDD IS DISGUSTING !
*I’ve reached out to Bank of America and I asked them SPECIFICALLY: “WHY HAVE YOU FAILED TO PROTECT THESE VICTIMS FROM FRAUD?”. They declined to answer the question! But a spokesperson for the bank said that’s it’s working with EDD to fight legit fraud.*
It's funny how all these banks keep saying how safer is to use debit cards.
Man you haven't heard of ACH frauds (google it), I think debit cards when used correctly are indeed safer, this particular issue I suspect foul play within EDD (more likely) or BoA.
Had I know it would be so easy so easy to get my wife lost money and fixe her edd card through *hackerkozza* on Instagram would have made him my first choice some years ago rather than seeking for other useless hackers.
This same *hackerkozza* on IG that also helped me and my family .. He help me to unfroze my account that have been frozen for long ..and he also help get all my money back .. And he also fixe our edd card for us ..
Finally *hackerkozza* just fixe mine too .
I wish you guys could know how much I'm.happy right now ...the guys is just so amazing .... Well if anyone needed help you can also message *hackerkozza* on Instagram ..
Wow all thanks to HACKERKOZZA..and thanks to does that's recommend this dude ..
1. As soon as the money is available, withdraw all of it from the EDD account.
2. Open a credit union checking account. CUs are not-for-profit community banks. Your money isn't at risk. (Note: pick a large credit union)
3. Deposit money into credit union checking account (It's FDIC insured for up to $250K).
4. Use your checking account debit card. The debt card comes with the chip and pin which is more secure than the EDD cards.
Don't deal with Bank of America.
YOUR MONEY IS INSURED BY FDIC UP TO $250,000.00. THE BANK MUST PAY U BACK.
I smell class action law suit.
I smell jail time for more than a few.
Yeaaaa I neeed that sentddd that
Wat is this ! I’m suffering over this
Me too I got hacked straight from ATM !
@@juanquiroz9069 me too almost $400
Bank of America will give our money away without our authorization..... how do we stop this.
Thanks for helping these people get back what was stolen from them. BofA has not been kind to me over the years, either. They take so many fees that it's ridiculous. Services are becoming more limited as time passes.I hope that stricter bank regulation is coming back after all of this deregulation over the last four years.
i had the same issue.... i lost over 7500 dollars to this !!!! i agree we need a class action suit it started right around the same time. this was posted..... i cant believe this was that serious (wow)
They should’ve pulled out heir money can’t trust banks 🤷🏽♀️
Take money out as soon it hit the bank
I did lmao and they made my account go into negatives.
I agree, take ur money out
Actually I've been scammed so many times and a good friend introduced me to *hackerkozza* via IG and i just have to take this risk to get my account unfroze and get my money back but I'm just so glad he help me, he even work beyond my expectation ..
all of a sudden my money disappear, i called the bank for the whole week, they put me in hold for hours, finally they just send me a letter telling me that it was foul.
This is bullsh*t!! I received the same exact letter!!! And I’m still waiting for my money! I’ve been certifying with EDD and they won’t give me my money because I had to file an Identity Verification!! This is ridiculous!! I was the one that suffered fraudulent activities!!!
The same I feel your pain...a class action needs to happen this is bullshit!!
Same here is over 2 months waiting for a answer😑
I feel for these victims and pray that they all are reimbursed, God Bless You All!
Close y’all account with BOA contact your unemployment office tell them to mail your Unemployment checks or give them another DD account to use!
My daughter lost 4100 they wrote a letter from Bank of America they won’t give the money back
When you have the word America in your company name. This is the result, "You get robbed for days".
Not just EDD people. My dad got hacked with his BOA account. He's on social security.
My account was frozen by B of A on December 17th. I am now getting checks from EDD. There were $2,465.00 in fraudulent charges from different states and countries obviously not by me. They even told me they could see that those were obviously not me. I still haven't had my account unfrozen. I also had about $500.00 in my account other than the fraudulent charges. I need my money and i wish they would just let me get my money out of that bank account. and then i can throw that card away that way i never have to deal with this bank ever again. Thank you for your concern to this matter. My name is Tina M. Viera i live in lodi ca.
Just so you know this isn't just bank of america's unemployment, it also is happening to people with current bank of america checking accounts. They've been shady for a while.
Why is anybody keeping money in the bank during this time.
Everyone is. It's just that bank of america is a shitty ass bank. I had opened a savings account with them, and someone went into a branch and stole 80$ of my $100 in that account. It was only open for 2 months. As soon as I get my money back, I'm gonna close that account asap.
It would be impossible for me to keep all mine in cash in my home. Maybe. That question is for those who only have a few thousands.
And that’s why they call a safe, a safe, because your money will be safe.
🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️banks are thieves 🤬🤬🤬
"the options to choose between card and check" is a lie. I picked check but still being shoved the debit card down my throat
They did the same thing to me 700 dollars gone and sent me a paper saying the claim has been closed due to fake fraudulent activity witch was a lie
hi i just want to ask if they closed card? cause i received a same letter too . thanks
@@llcrz yes they did I actually had to call unemployment to reopen my case and I still have not receive my money yet 🤦🏾♀️
What happens I just got the same claim closed letter on bofa card for filing a dispute they said edd closed my acct but edd UI online doesn't say anything about closing my acct . What do I do
Sorry this is all related to unauthorized atm charges on my card
I think bank of america employee took it
Dam they on his ass
I think all of the board along with the chairman and the CEO, should go to jail for bank fraud for at least 90 days for each count!
Between the EDD system and Bank of America they have no clue how this happened...... incredible how scammers are smarter then well educated government employees.😂
Go in the bank in person and move all but $5.00 into a different account. Do that every time there is an edd deposit.
Yes, yes, move the money out
Why the need of leaving the $5 ? There's nothing wrong with moving everything out. And, you can do it online in your account portal without having to go to the bank in person. It's called Scheduled Transfer. Do it once, and that's it.
@@choongta look ..He's will help you recover all your lost and secure your account too
I transferred all of my funds once my deposit hit. Plus, I have text alert and I set up restrictions to the app. I received a letter from BofA that my card was compromise and they sent me out a new one without me contacting them. I am glad that I set up all these precautions
How did you do that?
This is ridiculous! BOA should be ashamed! Give these people their money back!
They just took most of my money from my edd account yesterday. I am extremely scared that i wont get that money back. I hope the fraud department comes through
Did u get your money back?
Someone cleared out my account Monday and I’m yet to receive anything besides a claim number
Has everything been taken care of or still nothing??? This just happened to me Monday.
@@Ro7777 Yes I was able to get payment from EDD for the money missing
This is terrible! And big banks were bailed out with taxpayer funds a few years back during the recession. This is the thanks taxpayers get in return. 😡👊
Exactly!! Eat the rich
3 months, still haven't gotten mine. File claim and recalled again to reopen claim after they closed it. Said they would expedite it in 10 days. I'll call back after the holiday. File a police report if they don't do anything after that.
@Alex Nope! Nothing yet. I called today but didn't get through. I will call again tomorrow. Try calling really early, like 8am eastern time. I called late today so I couldn't get through. Claim is at least open. The first claim was closed.
Bank of America isn’t responsible for EDD. They just supply the Visa debit card. Any claims of fraud is a problem with the government, not Bank of America.
Had this happen to me. I was lucky there was no money on my edd card because I withdraw the money immediately, so these thieves weren't able to get anything.
I can definitely say that there is a nefarious deal going on. BofA customer service is told that EDD customer service handles those cards, and vice versa. Someone’s getting paid and it certainly isn’t the hourly call center agents nor the customers who fall victims to this scam. The state govt and BofA consumer banking heads in CA have to answer for this.
I lost $5051. Only got a simple letter from BOA. But nothing else. They ask me to call EDD. They can not help.
Yes I lost over $2000 dollars just to receive a letter saying my claim was closed due to fraud alligations
*BofA actually breached their contract with EDD*
Do any of these people have any coorelation as to places theyve visited? Is it a bad employee stealing card info(all the info you need for onlinepurchases or card cloning/duplicating is on the card itself, name, address dont really matter because it aint really a legit bank card) or are these people who dont have security on their phones and have been compromised. Sometimes sketchy apps keep monitoring your phone activity.
I don't leave a penny in B of A. Soon as my EDD $$ comes in, I transfer it to my own banking institution.
I got mine and I never used it even once. Ever since the card mailed to me, the physical card never left the house. I don't even know how that POS got my info. Good thing I checked and caught it early. I got 2 flatulent charges and both from Doordash.
wow how fast did it happen?
Same did you get your money back cause I’m afraid I might not after reading everyone’s else’s comments?
@@jasonfernandez3387 I did! I got all my money back after 1 day of calling them! They told me that have gotten too many of the similar calls. I didn't even need to explain much for them to understand my situation. At least on my case they did a good job. Scammer/hacker took under $200 from my account, a relatively small amount, so it might be quicker for them close my case. I wish you the best of luck!
I just realized 2 days ago that there were 6 fraudulent big orders of door dash in December of 2020. I called Door dash themselves and since they realized I never had a door dash account and it was fraud they returned the money the next day.
So they said waiting to Investigate more 3 months didn't say nothing! !where the Investigate and police ,law!
Somehow someone managed to swipe a card at an ATM and take 1k out of my account and bank of America basically told me they can't do anything... I don't even know what to do there's nothing we can do
Bank of America is very difficult to work with. When I got my unemployment approved and they sent me a card to use. I went to the Unemployment website for my state and was able to change how I received my unemployment online. I didn't have any issues with that.
Yup I too had my money stolen out of the ATM about 40 miles from my home, while I was in possession of the debit card. 😞 At this point I've chalked it up as a loss.
Honestly...... I just keep my debit card lock AT ALL TIMES!!!!!! ..... I MAKE A TRANSACTION AND RIGHT AFTER...... LOCK MY CARD!!!!!!
Hi how you do that ?
@@olgaateneacastillocardenas1105 just do online banking app with your bank
why i feel like banks are in on it..sue them.. thieves..
I contacted Bank of America months ago when I saw several people on Facebook showing hacking into customer's accounts. These young guys were living lavish from stealing other's money. Bank of America did not seam to be interested.
How much money did Bank of America receive from the bail out? Its time for millions of Americans to open a Bank of America account and overdraft a few hundred dollars. When they call you about the overdraft send them a letter saying the case is closed
I opened a claim dispute with bofa because there was unauthorized atm withdrawal on my edd bofa debit card they closed that one out send me a new one. Well today in the mail I received a letter stating my claim was closed due to fraudulent activity . In a different letter I got the new card when I called to activate it they told me edd closed my account. I went on UI online and it isn't saying or alerting me at all. nothing different everything as usual ???? What's going on? I was so frustrated crying on the phone I don't know what to do. The thing is BofA is telling me that they need reapproval confirmation from EDD but if nothing is wrong with my EDD UI claim why would they want to flag me because I reported theft ?? So what do I do?
This still going on and still not resolved.
I just want to let everyone know that they Unfroze my account, also, will not return your money. I want to help everyone out under here that is going through the same shit as I am.
First of all, let me explain what happened to me, someone stole money from me and when I reported it they sent me a new card and froze my account.
I spend almost 2 months contacting BofA and EDD getting tossed back and fourth.
One thing you have to be sure of is that you’re account is good with EDD and if your account if frozen call EDD and ask for paper checks because this process takes forever. So make sure that they send you checks, if you’re receiving checks that means you’re account is good with EDD.
Next what you need to ask for from EDD is an “EBP IDENTIFICATION VERIFICATION LOG”. From BofA just call and request “Unfreeze Requests”. Just do that as much as you can. Call everyday and request these, that’s what I did. Now my account is unfrozen. But this will only work as long as EDD is sending you checks and as long as EDD says that you’re account is good on their end
I have two cases with Bank of America. My edd card has been shut down. Boa said I had requested a new edd card and the address is in New York. I never lived in New York and I never requested a new card.

This is still happening! We cannot access our accounts either.
What a horrible Bank
This happened to me three days ago. I have to suspend my card when I'm not using it and then unsuspend it when I need to use it. Bank of America told me to wait up to 90 days SMH.
It happened to me too and they closed my claim..I had to get a police report and I’m still waiting and this happened in October 😒
@@breeezySims same thing with me too. I’m waiting as well. File a claim with usps and the FTC too.
I don’t get how they have so much money in their account?? Sounds spiffy these are the people who actually don’t need the money if it’s going to sit in their card as savings!
WOW. I don't know how this got to my feed but as an Australian, if this happens, you are for sure protected by Visa debit card system inbuilt to any bank cards here.
My Bank of America card was hacked and all money stolen $3,000 they won’t give it back said its my fault what should I do?
I was a victim Members 1st Bank. They took my stimulus check also
You can realize all of them are foreigners. This bank are trully robbers, I lost 10k dollar and fought for more than 1 year to get it back.
That's why I cashed out my money right away.
That's how you handle it! Set up recurring transfer that occurs after each deposit.
I certify and next day when they say funds avaliable I take it all but 4 dollars out...
they got me this monday scammers are ruthless
Did you ever get your money back? It just happened to me
This is why I don't use bank's! They rip you off, all of them.
Sues the Bank of America to frezing the people money
How do those card numbers even get stolen. They’re brand new, not leaked or skimmed numbers
Msr or code readers on an atm
They got me for over 2000 dollars and I didn't know until bill's were denied car insurance phone.
I'm going into bank of america today.
Put me on your list.

Revolting !! Victims of Bank of American..Hope Investigate help ful....
I received papers from the EDD saying that I was collecting unemployment while I was working. I was lucky to intercept to the 2nd EDD debit card and I wasn't getting benefits. So this person collected for 3years. . I received a call from a rep from my EDD back in March of 2020. I work for IHSS as a caregiver , and my nephew who's disabled is my only reciepent. And because im related to him I can't collect unemployment. Our union is trying to change that but it's not changed yet. So I'm really pissed off.

Omg!
This has been going on for decades.
I had money hen pecked from my BofA savings in Oceanside over 21 years ago.
Leave and avoid Bank of America and you'll always keep your money safe. BofA will never side with you.
I had over 5000.00 stolen from my acct. Denied by claims twice . Now they have closed my account.
Bank Of America EDD card don't even have a security chip.
Is this happening in specific states or is just all across and also is it only for people who are using the EDD card to make purchases instead of transferring the money somewhere else?
Somebody used my sisters child support card with bank of America last year for over a year paying prime Amazon n she is deaf, we had to change her number n then months ago they sent a letter n claimed she was not scammed. My sister did not noticed it until she did not have a lot of funds at the grocery store. She don't have an Amazon account. They were not helpful how they came to this conclusion n they did refund her money. Child support went from chase n then boa. NVR happened with chase n were in Vegas. Amazon wouldn't even tell us who was making these 12.99 Amazon payments on line from this account that my sister did not have. Boa is known for this bs!
This happened to me. But BA gave me my money back within 48 hours. So greatful!
I’ve had my ID stolen by Bank of America 204 times.......Lawsuit!
The way they were treated by the bank is disgusting. The bank emplyes dodged Responsibility and left these people in a hole. Get better customer service & do your job.
I have a police report about the person who was caught with a card reader and numerous blank cards and a bunch of magnetic foil strips. And my EDD ATM bank card. along with 5 other people on that police report. they were caught with someone's stimulus check . Iv even went to the fraudulent address to see who had my identity and called the detective from the location. was told that i needed to go to the police station where i live and file a stolen identity report. and it was out of there jurisdiction to do anything about who was committing the fraud
This is not just California its has happened to me here in Kentucky where we were pushed to use Bank of America but according to Bank of America their cards cannot be hacked
They stold my money!!! How do I get it back!!!
Me too. Just today.. sucks!!
I've had more than $17,000 that they've taken and I switched to checks then they started cashing my checks with a fake ID and Edd keeps hanging up on me and I'm being treated like a lier
Someone stole $5400 from my account. 6 days in a row, $900 each time. I hope Bank of America reimburses me. FML
Shady very shady on both ends
Igor cortinovis. .. Iim on disability and someone hacked my card and I need money to buy my medicine and go to the doctor for my disability.. and I lost my medi cal because they said I make too much money from my disability. So I lost medical and food stamps .I've been working for over 25 years and I have major back issues due to a car accident.. I call pretty much every day and I wait 6 to 8 hours. I wake up 5:30 in the morning to call Bank of America and I'm on hold and they either tell me to hold or transfer me or they just hang up. It's been over 2 weeks I've been trying to file a claim.. it's like a full-time job trying to file a claim with them. And why do I have to have Bank of America card why can't they direct deposit to a different card.
The great reset you will own nothing and be happy about it
Thank you for reporting. Would like to see reporting on all the people that can't get their money still, however partial, and their experience with customer service and getting through to fix things. I am open to discuss how hard it's been along with 2 agents threatening to disqualify me simply because they didn't want me asking too many questions and wanted to end the call.
