Q: I was told by bank on phone inquiry I made about a checking account balance then they tell me I had a savings also mine.
I didn't have time for asking for the finding out more about some sort of account that I was beneficiary or some kind of account from a will. I didn't get the information about account number or any info about this account, just told on phone call to the banks 1800number, then I went to the bank to deposit my check and find it more about the account in my name I did not know about it only they then tell me
whoever was on the banks 1800number was not supposed to tell me about this account and now that they said and told me that they won't tell me anything about it but did say that there is in my name but now told nothing. what can I do. what could I do to find out money in my name or an account or trust
A: The bizarre story has all the markings of a scam in the making. Why? Because reputable banks do not just call people on the phone to discuss their bank accounts--especially if the person called has no idea they had the "accounts."
