My husband and I a joint checking account at Bank of America, in XXXX, VA. The Bank allowed one of our check payees to cash the same check twice. In fact, the Bank allowed this payee to do this five different times, over a four-month period, for a total of {$1900.00}. I have the supporting documentation, including the record of the checking account debits and the duplicate check images that the Bank included in our checking account statements. I called the Bank 's fraud department today. The first person said it is not possible for a check to be cashed twice ; the system is designed to catch that. When I presented her with the evidence, she transferred me to the Bank 's check fraud department. The woman there said that because I wrote the checks in question, that was not fraud on the Bank and that I would have to go to the police to get my money back. When I told her that I was a lawyer and gave her the definition of fraud, she took my information and said that the Bank would be sending me the forms to file a claim, which would be reviewed by a claims analyst. She said I would get the forms within seven to ten business days. She suggested that I might want to close my account. I will file the claim, and I will get my money back. But I am appalled that Bank of America 's system allows the same check to be deposited twice. I am also appalled that neither of the Bank 's fraud department representatives appeared to view this as a serious customer security problem and that neither representative appeared interested in following up on the systems security issue. The woman in the check fraud department surmised that the payee had first deposited each check using a mobile app and then later deposited the hard copy of the check in an ATM. The checks were cashed in different check statement periods. So, the Bank 's representative working in the check fraud department believes that it is possible for a payee to deposit a check using a mobile app and then later to deposit the hard copy of the same check. But she apparently does n't think that is a serious security systems problem!!!
