I set up a personal checking account with a bank XX/XX/XXXX. I had been " taken '' by a scam artist who wired money into my account, but later, after the account was " purged '' the bank produced an actual check made out to me and had supposedly my endorsement on the back. After the bank and I realized I had been " taken '' the manager informed me that I would n't be responsible for the loss but to make sure that this never happens again.I gave the manager as much detailed information about the man, along with contact information, as I could. I was instructed to file a police report, which I did online and received a case number. THIS IS MY COMPLAINT. XX/XX/XXXX, I went to open an account with another bank and I was declined. I requested a report from ChexSystems, which is who they verify possible new customers information with, and I see that I am on ChexSystems for SUSPECTED FRAUD ACTIVITY, Closure Status : UNPAID Original Charge Off Amount : $ XXX.XX with the bank that I had the issue with the scam artist. This is frustrating because I was told not to " worry about it, just file a police report ''. ( XXXX XXXX PD. XXXX, is the case number ) Well, now I 'm having to " worry about it ''. When I attempt to call their customer service line, I am on hold indefinitely. Luckily, I have an account opened with another bank, which I had opened before this mess, but I should not be in ChexSystems since this was a case of Fraud Activity and the account was purged. I do not have a history of doing such acts. This must be resolved.
