anybody else have a fraudulent account set up at wells fargo or had money fraudulently stolen from your account and you’re having trouble getting it back? Please contact me. It’s now been 97 days since the first fraudulent activity on my @wellsfargo https://t.co/RAcP1yIxGz
If you believe banks should be held accountable , please share this post. I need help getting this story beyond my own https://t.co/BcoufT9c3H 115 UPDATE:The $24,183.33 Wells Fargo Banking https://t.co/bzNasmwGAX has officially been 114+ days since I gave Wells Fargo active notice of severe identity theft on our profile.
THE LIABILITY:WellsFargo issued a signed, formal letter admitting that the target account used by the criminals was entirely fraudulent and not opened by my family.
THE NEGLIGENCE: Despite explicit warnings, the bank failed to lock down my profile. They allowed criminals to drain my checking accounts and even permitted two unauthorized transfers totaling $5,800 out of my secure solo savings account.The Partial Credit: The bank has only returned a single check for $2,324.42 to cover fraudulent June ATM withdrawals/purchases in Florida, but they continue to wrongfully withhold the remaining $24,183.33 of my life savings.
THE DAMAGE: Because my liquid cash remains stolen, my automated bill payments were disrupted, causing severe collateral damage to my long-standing credit profile, home mortgage, and credit lines.I spent over 10 hours this weekend acting as a forensic investigator, compiling 17 pieces of concrete evidence into an airtight legal file. I have officially escalated this into a full-scale federal enforcement action by submitting 5 separate filings with the OCC (@HelpWithMyBank)and 6 separate claims w/ Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (@CFPB).Wells Fargo’s executive office is already scrambling and called me first thing this morning-I no longer feel impressed or confident in the executive team calling me as I have received many calls w/ ZERO result. A specialized consumer protection law firm is now conducting a comprehensive forensic review of this entire paper trail. I will be emailing directly three new investigative reporters for news channels. WF you have officially poked the bear. They locked me into a burning building after I told them exactly where the fire was. I am not stopping until my money is returned.

🟥 DAY 111
Why was there still money in my Wells Fargo account?
It’s a fair question.
I had been banking with Wells Fargo for nearly 20 years.
In fact, while I was on vacation in Turkey, I had already started the application process to open an account with another bank. I knew I needed to move my banking relationship, but after nearly two decades, it wasn’t as simple as transferring everything overnight. It took time to update automatic payments, direct deposits, and other financial accounts.
For weeks, my checking account remained in a negative balance.
I left that account open because I was told there were active fraud claims on it and that it needed to remain open so any recovered funds could be returned there.
I also still had money in my savings account.
Based on what I had been told by my local Wells Fargo branch manager in Klamath Falls and, as I recall, by multiple Wells Fargo representatives, I believed my savings account—held only in my name—was safe.
Then the nightmare started again.
On May 21, money began moving into my checking account.
On May 22, even more money was transferred.
Then I watched unauthorized purchases and cash withdrawals appear in Florida.
As I watched the activity unfold, I tried moving money back myself while repeatedly attempting to reach Wells Fargo. My phone records show multiple calls during that time as I tried to stop what was happening.
When you watch money leaving your account in real time, you do everything you can to stop it.
Tomorrow, I’ll share what happened next.

🟥 DAY 105….. PREPARE YOURSELF 🫨
$12,707.75
By April 30, 2026, I had already:
• Reported suspicious activity on my accounts.
• Requested additional security measures.
• Requested that changes only be made in person at a Wells Fargo branch with identification.
• Requested that no additional transfers be permitted from my accounts.
Despite those requests, on April 30, 2026, another $12,707.75 left my account through an online transfer.
This was the largest transaction that I continue to dispute.
More than 100 days later, I’m still seeking answers about how these transactions occurred and why they continued after I had reported suspicious activity and requested additional protections.
I’m documenting these events one at a time because every date, every amount, and every transaction tells part of the story.
If this happened to your account after you had already reported suspicious activity and requested additional protections, would it inspire confidence in your bank?
Tomorrow will be another post. And the day after that. I’ll continue documenting my experience until I get my answers—and my money back.

🟥 DAY 104
April 22, 2026
Twenty-six days after the first unauthorized transfer, it happened again.
By this point, I had already reported suspicious activity to Wells Fargo and was repeatedly asking for additional protections on my accounts.
I requested that no changes be made to my accounts unless I appeared in person at a Wells Fargo branch with identification.
I also requested that no additional transfers be allowed from my accounts.
Despite those requests, on April 22, 2026, another $3,000 was transferred from my Everyday Checking account through a tele-transfer - over the phone is all the information I have ever been told.
This was not the first unauthorized transfer.
It was the second.
After this transfer, I continued making the same requests in an effort to prevent any additional money from leaving my accounts.
I’m documenting these events one at a time because every transaction has its own date, amount, and timeline.
If you had already asked your bank to prevent further changes and transfers, and another transfer still occurred, would that inspire confidence?
Tomorrow will be another post. And the day after that. I’ll continue documenting my experience until I get my answers—and my money back Saul Saul Van Beurden #consumerfinancialprotectionbureau #transparencymatters #wellsfargoisthedevil #boycottwellsfargo

@Ask_WellsFargo as I have already said wells fargo knows who I am. They know I’m making these public post and still I don’t have my more than $20,000 back so no I am not gonna spend any more of my life contacting you sending you messages, blah blah blah blah blah.
oh, that’s OK. You guys already know who I am because you’ve contacted me after you saw my Instagram post. I’ve been dealing with this for more than 100 days now and I still don’t have my more than $20,000 back. I am not just going to keep contacting you with no results I am not playing by your rules anymore. I am exposing your bank for what it is.
you have my name and number because you have already contacted me by phone after you noticed my Instagram post. I am not playing by your rules anymore because I have been trying to play by your rules for over 100 days now and it has gotten me nowhere and it certainly hasn’t gotten me my money back. I will continue to post every single day until I have answers and until I have my money back I am shedding lights on the poor experience I had with wells fargo and continue to have.
🟥 DAY 103
These are Wells Fargo’s own words.
I asked Wells Fargo specific questions, including how unauthorized transfers occurred, how my accounts were accessed, and what information was used to authenticate those transactions.
This is part of the written response I received:
“We have security measures in place to help detect and prevent fraud. Despite these measures, situations such as yours can still occur.”
“To protect our customers, we do not share specific information on our security protocols…”
I understand the importance of protecting security procedures.
At the same time, after more than 100 days, I’m still seeking answers about what happened in my case and the unauthorized transfers that I continue to dispute.
I’m sharing Wells Fargo’s own words exactly as they were written so others can read them for themselves.
If your bank gave you this response, would it inspire confidence?
Tomorrow will be another post. And the day after that. I’ll continue documenting my experience until I get my answers—and my money back.

🟥 DAY 102
Today marks 95 days since the first fraudulent transfer occurred on my Wells Fargo account - 5,000 to an acct that was created by criminals- it took @wellsfargo more than 45 days to close that account - might still be open not sure.
On March 27, 2026, my life changed in a way I never expected.
What followed has been 102 days of documenting events, making phone calls, filing reports, organizing evidence, soeaking to lawyers and trying to understand how unauthorized transfers occurred and why they have not been fully resolved.
Yesterday, I received a call from the Wells Fargo Executive Office. When I returned the call, I was told it related to my social media posts.
If my story is reaching the Executive Office, then I hope it also reaches the people who can answer the questions I’ve been asking for more than 100 days.
This isn’t about one phone call.
It’s about accountability, transparency, and getting answers.
Tomorrow will be another post. And the day after that. I’ll continue documenting my experience until I get my answers—and my money back.
If this happened to you, what would you expect your bank to do?

I don’t need to DM with the information you requested because you clearly know who I am otherwise you wouldn’t have called me today. I can certainly understand why you would be concerned about my daily post, but I won’t be stopping until I get answers about the fraud on my accounts and I get my money back.

Tomorrow will be another post. And the day after that. I’ll continue documenting my experience until I get my answers—and my money back. #consumerfinancialprotectionbureau #oregonattorneygeneral #fbiportland #betransparent @NBC@ABC@Fox@Reuters #consumerprotection @FederalTradeCommission @betterbusinessbureau
@Ask_WellsFargo oh gosh, if your security is so great which we know it’s not surely someone who wouldn’t be able to access things with the last four digits of a case number because your security is so great right?
