This podcast is dedicated to our friends, evil Zelle and Bank of America, part owner of Zelle's holding company. On a recent San Francisco newscast, ABC7 reporter Michael Finney brought us a story of Page, a school nurse in the Bay Area who was victimized by a crook who told her to "verify" potential fraud over the phone (while calling from a number purporting to be BofA) and when she did "verify", $3,500 was gone. Leave it to Bank of America to string out Page a month, only to deny her, and then telling her to contact the criminal who ripped her off in order to get the money back. She reached out to ABC7 in SF and 7 on Your Side reporter Michael Finney with her story, they aired it and the next day she got her money back, because BofA is full of shit. 1000s are impacted every year with this type of scam, and big banks, ESPECIALLY BofA don't help for various reasons. I get into the story, add my two cents, and add why I think BofA could care less, and what we need to do to help others!
