Q: Hi, I sent a series of Wire transfers to JP Morgan Bank in Illinois, cashed by a person who appears to be a non entity
His name is xx, in Markham Illinois, at the Chase Bank 4001 W 167th St, Country Club Hills, 60478, USA. I was referred to him from a friend to whom I could trust to pass on the money to her for investment. The problem is that the bank won't talk to me as I'm not a member and in order to open up a bank account you have to have State ID and some type of electric bill or something to open up an account. I feel that the bank is negligent in cashing about 98,000 worth of wire transfers to a person who is actually almost non-existent. He. The bank told me they required 2 pieces of ID. I was told by Schwab, where one of the wires was sent from that he definitely doesn't live at that address. In going to My Life or google, he does not come up as being in Illinois or anywhere. How can I hold the bank responsible for cashing these wires to a fraud?
