US Bank is evil!

[yeeeaaahhh]

So, I just got an email today saying that US Bank was closing my accounts there, because several months ago I deposited some money that went missing, and I've been trying to figure out what happened to it, and then today all of the sudden I get an email saying that my accounts there will be closed.
I have no idea what the fuck they're doing, whether it is to just try and get me to shut up and go away, but I am fucking pissed off.

These people are fucking money stealing assholes!!

 

[yeeeaaahhh]

Oh, and I forgot to mention that a while ago one of their tellers called me a fag, to my face, and when I reported it they did absolutely nothing about it except tell me that I am sorry.

If you have the proof, take it to the Ombudsman in your area.

Are you sure the email was from US Bank?

Perhaps it was a phishing email, designed to coax you to give out confidential information that gets stolen. The email may not have even come from anywhere in this Hemisphere...

Such emails are designed to LOOK LIKE they're from places like banks, ebay, PayPal, etc. but they're instead crooks...

^^ I thought the same thing.

Contact the bank directly. I don't think this is something that'd be done by email.

Banks don't use email for official notices. It's a scam. Go to your bank personally and talk to the manager. I would also copy the header from the email that shows the path it took and give it to the bank.

But, whatever you do, DO NOT give them any sensitive information! I hope this warning isn't too late. (In my early internet days I actually did fall for one of these once, but nothing came of it - I must have gotten lost in the shuffle.)

 

[yeeeaaahhh]

No, it was the actual bank. I called them and the guy that I spoke to said that I was being threatening. Meaning, I told them that if I didn't get my deposit back I would take further action. That is all that I've "threatened" them with.
So they decided to CLOSE MY ACCOUNT!

Suggest you watch this film for ideas on how to retaliate:

US Bank sucks.

When I first started taking care of Grandma's affairs, I had to access her accounts there. I had Full Power of Attorney paperwork, etc.

First, it took them nearly a week to review my POA paperwork and determine it was legal.

Then, when I went in to get access, they wouldn't accept my ID's. The first try was my Michigan ID. You don't get a Driver's License in Michigan, you get an Operator's License (because you Operate a Motor Vehicle). Once I finally convinced the woman about that, she wouldn't take it because there was no Issue Date on it, just an expiration date.

So then I tried to use my United States Passport. She wouldn't take THAT either because she said they required a Driver's License. A Passport was no good. A document accepted by most of the Planet's Governments was not good enough for the crazy lady at US Bank.

I finally just got up and walked over to the Branch Manager's office and told her to come out and solve the problem.
