I visited a Wells Fargo located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, NJ on XXXX/XXXX/15. I went inside to make a withdrawal from my checking account. The teller that assisted me was named XXXX.In processing the transaction XXXX advised me that my savings account was closed.I informed her that I knew and that the account was closed because it was initially opened by a branch manager without my permission. XXXX then persisted that I needed to reopen the savings account to avoid the $ XXXX monthly maintenance fee. I told her I was avoiding the fee already by participating in a different activity which also allows me to avoid paying the fee. She told me that the fee is only waived if my checking account is linked to a savings account and simply said " we can reopen that for you today it 's no problem ''. I told her I would think about it, took my withdrawal and left. The information XXXX gave me was completely inaccurate and misleading and was simply an attempt to get a " sale ''. I may not have looked like it because I was dressed in shopping gear, but I work for a bank myself and I know a little about deceptive practices that some individuals use to meet their sales goals. If I did not have inside knowledge, I may have once again fallen victim to these deceptive practices.
