Complaint 18293 Details

check came from david shawn for 4975.00 to pay for taxes and insurance and processing fee. went to wachovia to see if check from suntrust was authentic. personal banker said you can deposit check here and wait for check to clear.I then instructed bank to open up separate checking acct. to deposit this check purpose only to pay above fees.This was done on aug .23. I told bank to let me know of authenticity of check. they said they would know in two days.On aug.25 the bank said check was good and gave me 2197.00 from separate checking acct. and instructed me where the nearest western union was so icould send off the money.Afterwards the bank took the remaining 2778.00 and placed in yet another acct. The banker said reason for switched acct. was they thought the 4975.00 was going to be payed out all at once ,I did too. Reason for change of acct. , banker said would be easier to pay out remaining moneys. Another withdrawal of 2150.00 was made on Aug.26 and sent western union. On Aug. 31 david called and said another 750.00 needed to be sent ,I told him that he would have to send more money because their were only 628.00 left into the acct..he then said he would have to get back with me . On sept. 1 wachovia pulled 4975.00 out of my way to save acct. They said check declined. I went to my personal banker and said that they had instructions not to release me any money unless the check was good.My personal banker said yes he was aware and did not know what went wrong. I then call their fraud dept. and told them my whole reason for opening a separate acct. was to keep money separate. I told them that I never would have sent money if you wouldnt have told me the check was good. They then said there was nothing they could do.
