Keep your eyes on your accounts. Check bank last night to see if my paycheck did its auto deposit. Saw a $3100.00 withdrawal from my checking. It will be returned but had to close checking open new checking. Put a freeze on credit with all credit agencies. Have been changing all my automatic payments to new account. What a pain in the butt

Sorry you are going through this. I had to close a couple of credit cards for the same reason.

The account was a Merrill Lynch investment account opened in my name on 5/2 They transfered the $3,100.00 out of my checking on 5/6 into that account. The money was returned to my bank today. I was shocked I got it back that quick. I have a bank of America credit card & Merrill Lynch is owned by the same company. I put a credit freeze on everything. Hope this never happens again. I never thought we'd get the money back this quick. Thank the Lord we did.

Our deposits aren't any safer than our borders and our politicians don't care because they know people will keep reelecting them whether they do anything or not.

If someone tried to take $3100 from my checking account the bank would laugh and laugh and laugh.

We only had the much cause hubby had just received his monthly social security check. Yesterday they Merrill Lynch sent me a letter about my change of address. It was a Maryland address. I live in ohio. They changed that phone # & email. That was another 25 min. Phone call. Today they sent me a code today that was good for 10 min. They better not take anymore money from me. I thought Merrill Lynch repaid me. They didn't my bank gave it to me & they're going after Merrill Lynch. I'm tired of all this crap. It could have been much worse
