This lady is rare piece of character and honesty. God bless you, dear!
Satendra Vishwakarma
She has the same character as the man who brought down Bernie Madoff.
Heres an hour interview with her. Yesenia Guitron
czcams.com/video/HhwwqZ8qHgI/video.html
she is a real hero
Yes!
Here is something not said. All illegal aliens (which are the people this lady was setting up accounts for) MUST supply unlawful documentation. All of them. They don't have any lawful documentation to provide because they are here criminally. So right off the bat, they should not be setting up accounts. To provide lawful documentation would help enable INS to locate them for deportation.
Okay so why set up accounts? Two reasons: #1) it makes it much easier to transfer funds outside the country (which they would have to do at a check cashing place) so this may save them transaction fees and #2) in the rare circumstance where they were paid in check and not cash for their unlawful labor. If they are given a check, they must cash it to get the money. Open an account, deposit the check, when it clears, take the cash.
Overdraws? Well duh. These are peasants. Peasants are generally not sophisticated enough to even KNOW if there is enough money in an account when they write a check or make a payment. These are cash-only people. Having accounts assumes some level of personal responsibility. If they were that responsible, they would have professional jobs back home (wherever they came from) and would not have to be wage slaves in the United States.
Wells Fargo also "mistakenly" foreclosed on homes too.
Its called "short "
All planned
Foreclosed properties already paid by insurance then sold for pennies on the dollar
The FLIP
Johnny oneye Yep. Also the loan modifications are designed to fail and the corporate the money. Going through the fraudclosure and the unethical practices being present. Same goes with car loans...another scam and fraud. But watching and seeing these illegal tactics it's a big legal mess for the consumers. *Sighs*
They did to ours in 2006. We were in contact with local branch every week while trying to sell the house. One day I go to check on house and see all locks changed, upstairs window broken and huge dent on side of house near window. I tried my garage door opener and it worked. Saw toilets were prepared for cold weather etc..My husband calls the office and the rep there said "we thought you abandoned the house so we had to get into to do a few things". My husband said "I've been talking with you every week keeping you updated on what's happening with trying to sell it. You had my contact info. You could have called me". We finally did a "deed in lieu of foreclosure". 2 years later we learned they put it in our credit report as a foreclosure. It took 6 months to get them to change it. I'll never use Wells Fargo for anything.
We applied for a modification with Wells Fargo, we had never made a late payment. The loan officer told us to just miss one payment so we could claim a "hardship". We reluctantly did so, the next month they started to forclose on our property! Nice way to pick up lots of free homes!
Oh that's horrible...
My friend use to work there and went through this. It's crazy. He was so stressed out. Begged us to open accounts. They were crazy
Not were. They ARE crazy
It isn't only Wells Fargo that does that. They may not all be as aggressive about it, but I know first hand that the result is that some of the employees end up committing fraud in order to make the numbers or risk getting fired. They are basically salesmen, not bankers.
Customer Service exactly. It’s too bad too. Doesn’t benefit the customer in most instances only pads their bottom line
Yes I work there a few years back and they would threaten to fire me if I didn't open 10 accounts for a day
Missa Amané hope you're in a better position with a more ethical company now :)
Why has this bank not be dissolved? Why would I be put in jail for fraud? Why does a business have more rights than a citizen?
$$$$
Because the banks ARE the government!
Life isn't fair. 🤣🤣🤣
Force repercussions on those responsible at each branch!
Unfortunately, you are quite CORRECT!
I closed my account with Wells Fargo long story short it is the only way I can protest their BAD BEHAVIOR they HATE TO LOSE CUSTOMERS I hope others follow suit
Avion Mech and go where.
Avion Mech can you recommend any better banks? Asking because I currently bank with Wells Fargo. Thank you in advance!
Beautyfull Hearts I went to a small local bank I never have to wait in line and they know me by name and the checking is free or a local credit union hope this helps take care
alfredo perez A small local bank or credit union
alfredo perez Credit unions are better.
You got to give this lady credit. It takes guts to speak up
Gosh I should close all my accounts with Wells Fargo.
Leena IMMEDIATELY
right!! i'm just seeing this!! sheesh
This happened years ago and the ceo who was putting pressure on employees to meet quota was fired
Leena yea.. I can't believe u still have an account there?
J Rod I agree because the people who are struggling to take care of thier families have to suffer when people make posts on this they don’t speak of the people that got fired nor how it’s an domino effect on people who did their job correctly so taken your money out of a bank takes jobs away from people who are trying to make a living it’s bias
I was fired for refusing to keep a customer's accounts open when the client clearly didn't need 4 checking accounts with 8 savings accounts! He was getting fee's on each account because the client couldn't keep minimum balances in each or transfers etc. I was also fired and "under investigation" because even though I legitimately opened accounts for my family I wasn't supposed to open accounts for my family. I was supposed to give these accounts to other bankers so they could open it. My managers signed off on opening these accounts for my family and encouraged me to do so. Yet when they asked the service manager, she denied everything. She had been working there 40+ years and knew it was wrong, yet failed to tell me. But of course the new banker is who gets fired.
Are you hireable it doesnt sound like u did anything wrong
12 months statute of limitations, so good luck on any lawsuit for wrongful termination. And, WF is notorious for putting their employees under additional q/a scrutiny if they are simply disliked by management. My advice: Just move on with life, go work for a credit union and accept the fact that if you want to be involved with finance, you're going to have to accept lower wages at a credit union, but it will better align with your morals. There's a reason why we don't see anyone at a retail branch among many of the large banks for longer than 6 months - turn n burn employees = turn n burn the customers.
LBloggie ... You could say I am "blacklisted" for Wells Fargo. I was sent a letter telling me I would no longer be able to apply for any job at Wells Fargo. Not that I want to, I was working full time there and had another part time job to get me through college so as soon as I lost the job at Wells Fargo I worked full time at my other job. I don't know how job hunting would have gone if I didn't already have a job. They probably wouldn't give me a good reference.
Coyote Prophet . I wish I was that strong lol I was mad, but when I get mad I cry from all the anger I feel lol I wouldn't go back there after everything, I felt humiliated, and taken advantage of.
Marie Blogs I didn't know my options, they belittle you and make you believe you can't do anything against them. I was a college student working 2 jobs, no way could I afford a lawyer. And had little time to dedicate myself to doing something about it. I will look into this, maybe because of everything going on now I can do something about it?
What she said is 100% true. I used to work for WF.i hated how they pressured us to open accounts to the point that they divided your daily goal by hour. If by 12pm you hadn't have what you were supposed to, they forced you to get in a conference call to explain why you hadn't reach your half a day quota and what were you going to do different for rest of the day. It quickly turned into a nightmare so i found another job and quit. What hurts me the most was that used to love working for a bank before WF bought it in 2008.
Yes I was a teller and they gave us a word track that was a paragraph. We had to recite it to customers even if they didn't wanna hear it. End of the day if you didn't get credit for an acct opening you had to have a meeting with the branch manager. So we had to Cheat our way around and the bankers would have to give us credit so we wouldn't get In Trouble. It became like a competition.
Sorry for what you went through
@@missaamane8580At Bank of America we were expected to ask "smart questions" to every customer...even asking customers at the drive thru if they rented or owned their homes.
@@nacarreira777 wow..... smh
You did the right thing by leaving. If you're incapable of meeting a goal and the failure is too much pressure, leave. That's as it should be. For those who committed fraud, they should be held accountable for their crime. The fraud is not the fault of Wells Fargo, it's the fault of the criminals who chose to commit it rather than succeed or leave.
Is ethical behavior in corporate leaders too much to ask?
Way too much to ask... This is America 🙄😒
Short answer:
Yes
YES, IT IS APPARENTLY LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL WHAT IS ANYTHING
markj6700 in my county, the disabled whistleblower is denied the vote
Lillian Warren yes of course it's too much to ask we live in a Godless world
I’m transferring all my savings and retirement accounts to a Credit Union. This is outrageous
I’m 17 and don’t have much options
"Welcome to Wells Fargo. Leave your integrity at the door."
Wells Fargo told us that it showed a $1,400.00 withdrawal from a device in our home back in 2005 and attempted slam us with penalties. The investigation proved it to be their doing and all the money that went to covering the penalties were put back into the account and we closed it immediately afterwards and yet somehow 3 years later we received a bill claiming we owed them the $1,400. They never saw another red cent from our business ever again.
Wells Fargo is the most corrupt - a disgusting establishment i worked there and they are legitimately corrupt AF.
@@mrvillTV We had to ask our banker seriously that if it were as easy as withdrawing money from our account at home mind you from a computer, wouldn't everyone be using that method?! The look he gave was priceless. Confused and irritated he had to even be the one to remedy the issue. But for the company to still make a claim on the money they had to replace was absurd. Made my faith in banking disappear.
I had account with them as a child. They drained my savings with monthly fees until zero remained. This was in the 70s! Never did business with them again.
I worked for wells fargo for 3 months and i definitely witnessed shady practices. I became a victim of this after i left too. She is not lying.
I've never worked at a branch but the whole unbutton your shirt/skirt comment seems like a huge problem that they brushed past.
Sochi314 It was a common practice that many of my female co-workers mentioned.
Business move on.
SJW over here.
sochi314 u feminist...
My bank was taken over by wells years ago, same thing happened to me! I quit, just couldn't handle it anymore! Its ridiculous! The pressure was insane!
Saw on TV. It was good 😊 and we say, thank you for blowing the whistle. Need more people like you.
Wells Fargo was my first checking account. I opened it in 2006 when I was 18 years old. I had a credit card opened up that year without my knowledge. And a Line of credit opened up without my authorization at age 24. BANK SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN BY THE GOV’T.
Alexa play Too Short Blow the Whistle.....
D Ray lmaooo 💀
Lmfaooo ayooo im waab
D Ray LMFAO!!!!!
Yeeeeeeee!
lol
This "Whistleblower" needs to be its own show wtf come on CBS
And yet people STILL bank with Wells Fargo. WHY? With all the banks and credit unions to choose from, WHY would you keep an account or mortgage with a bank guilty of fraud?!?! By all means, KEEP THEM IN BUSINESS WITH YOUR MONEY. Ugh! 😑
I use Wells Fargo, and I love them! I never had any issues with them, they always helped and assisted me with all of my needs. Some people never had issues with WF like me.
@@ericadkins9084 So their illegal behavior to thousands of other people is acceptable to you?! Can’t you stand up for what is right on behalf of what they have done to others, or is your world all about just you?
Good to see that there are still people in this world who will do the right thing, regardless of the backlash! I hope she is successful in her career and that her family is doing well!
According to her Linkedin, she's now at Citi.
She's protected under the "Whistleblower Act".
Robert Ortiz protected from what? Please explain 😁👍
From being charged with conspiracy and retaliation from her employer.
And hopefully a 9mm
That’s a completely ineffective “Act” for anyone who has bills to pay. It offers no real protection.
Robert Ortiz
Along with her conscious was bothering her also befor she wasn't going down with them so she told -Smh " tooth for tooth skin for skin" 🔴⚫💚
Yeah this is still happening I keep hearing if this bank charging people for nothing
Damn shame! Thank you for blowing the whistle! 👏👏👏👏
Are there ANY American businesses free of corruption? My word.
These criminals never appear to learn why aren't any boards of directors or executive teams in jail? Good work Jesse
Chase Bank is doing the same thing!
Chang Vang says the wells Fargo employee.
I want to spread love and peace but I don’t like banks sometimes. Not just Wells Fargo but others also. I have to forgive them in my heart. May God help them to repent / change and turn to Jesus God the one true king.
Chase bank is so evil their logo is literally a Swastika.
This is a scary case folks. There was 4 checks that was Mobile deposited into my checking account which I have another checking account not with Wells Fargo never in a life time would I deal with that bank. And these checks came from a Well Fargo bank. And they are counterfeit checks. So now I have a frozen banking account that I can't get into. But I'm thankful that my bank caught these checks. But I'm not thankful that I can't get into my account. Well Fargo banks need to be closed down forever.
Be advised the bank employees create , witness, notarize and fake Wills and Power of Attorney for their friends to swindle disabled clients out of their homes, money you name it
Former employee of Wells Fargo as well. I also told them so about the mortgage lawsuit.
I stopped doing business with Wells Fargo in 1997, that made my account go NSF. And they charged me $35 per transacion per day. Each day it was $235. Can't belive anyone would do business with these crocks.
Collective boycotts are the only way to hold these corporations to account. They are above the law but cannot be above the market.
I worked at Wells during this time. The stress was unbearable. When I left, all 4 of the bankers were on "probation" for not selling enough "solutions".. Even the tellers had sales quotas. To this day, no one in my family will bank at Wells.
Bank of America did the same thing. I was a personal banker and to meet goals out bank manager started to push people to open 2 checking, 2 savings, 2 credits, then 2 business checking, 2 business savings, and 2 business credit card per person. When that didn’t work people who would ask a teller for an address change would sign a blank signature card. Then the card would be given to a personal banker to open up 2 checking, 2 savings, 2 credit cards without telling the person. Money would be pulled from one account to another with back office paperwork. When people complained the process was changed to not putting any money in the accounts. When I refused to take part, the bank manager had tellers open accounts and then give me credit for the accounts through back office. It was horrible. So many overdraft fees and accounts closing because people had no clue about the new accounts.

Do u think golden one Bak. Do that? That's my bank?
Wheres the jail time for the ceo's and their collaborators.conspiracy anyone?
In 2006 Wells Fargo was the underwriter for my first mortgage, needless to say I lost my home five years later. Due to my original mortgage having been bundled and sold to a third party. The class action produced a small settlement.
Jesse you are the hero of the people
Share this On social Media spread the word people !
Abruptly one day they called me about my mortgage, told me they were going to refinance it. We did sign the documents but we dont know the reasons they did it or why. To this day I feel we were coned into something.
were the people they were supposed to help get financially stable where they the CEOs of Wells Fargo?
I worked in a former South Florida Bank back in 1996 and I saw the dirtiness in the industry. Frustrated with their ethics and how I was treated, l left work one day and never went back.

they took some money of mine last week ..olly a small amount but how many of us do they do it to.. never got it back
Thank you.❤
I worked in one of their call centers and there’s a lot more going on there than just credit card fraud.
Had a mortgage w them, never again. Then again you dont hv a choice in the matter.
You could go with a private lender. 🤣
hector garza im pretty sure thats what i went thru.
I had Wells Fargo as my mortgage holder for two months they just sent me a letter that they sold it to Freddie Mac .. I’m screwed🙄
Not having a choice is alarming
When this story broke, my experience cashings check at Wells Fargo during this time suddenly made sense. I used to do freelance work and I was paid with checks drawn on Wells Fargo. I would go in and cash the checks at WF because I did not want to deposit them into my own checking because frankly, I did not trust that the funds would be there. If I deposited it into my own account and it bounced, I would be liable - to *my* credit union. Going to cash it at the bank it was drawn on was the only way I could be sure that my paycheck was even good. For months I'd go in to cash the check for $600 or so at WF, pay the $8 fee, and each and every time no less than three bank employees would harass me to open an account right then and there. They were very aggressive so that was a red flag to me something had to be in it for them. At one point, I just would walk in and off the top say "Nope, I am not interested in any accounts and I am fine with the fee." I shut it down before it started. It's crazy that the employees were screwing gullible people over for fckn $25 dollars at the behest of the bosses who were raking in millions.
Worse banking company EVER!!!!!!!! Shut it down
I Applaude You For This!
First of all the bankers are in fault cause they went along with it and wanted more commission so let’s hold everyone accountable
FONZI JURADO yep I agree and never had problems banking with them
I just applied to be a bank teller there, should I mention this if I get an interview 😂
"I coulda jumped on the wagon and did it the Wells Fargo way but I didnt"
That's a quote and a HALF right there
A bank without ethics , morals and integrity, is not a bank.
It's a racketeering club.
Yet millions of people still bank with them. Once again the sheeple don’t get it.
I bank with them, and I love Wells Fargo! They have been phenomenal too me. ❤💛❤💛❤💛
Anyone have a Mortgage with Wells Fargo and have a horrible story to tell? My experience has been good thus far but I'd like to hear different experiences
Cynthia xo my parent had wells fargo acct for mortage. They didnt have any problem with wells fargo.
Fraudulent foreclosure for me. I hate them and these people need to go to jail!

Johnny oneye it was a hard lesson to becoming woke, for me. Crooks.
We were encouraged to do the same at Bank of America...our raises were dependent on meeting outrageous quotas.
I recently closed on a mortgage with a bank and shortly thereafter they sold it to Wells Fargo. I hate Wells Fargo!!!
When I had an account with them, I caught them several times being shady. A transaction I made didn't go through till the next bigger transaction went through first. Which caused me to get double drafted instead of just one overdraft fee. Yes it was my fault, I should have been keeping better track of my budget. But it doesn't change the fact that they take advantage of your mistake even more. Even my best friend closed his account with them also. He had made some high end purchases. He went to use his card the next day during his lunch break, only to find his account was frozen. He called the bank, they verified that he was the one who actually made those purchases, and still they kept his account frozen for the month. He already verified that he was the one who made the purchases and they still wouldn't release his account. Completely not a customer friendly scheme they run!
No they said my banking statements were inaccurate…like wtf…bro I’m about to close with them
@@celesteestrada1637 Good. I hope you find another bank that treats you better and doesn’t have a bunch of hidden fees and hidden agendas. Tbh the local branches here for WF I had no problem with. They were very good with customer service. It’s just the institution as a whole is very fraudulent
*Switches back to bank of America*
Yup they made one for me too in az
Thank u all
Omg I always had a bad feeling about this bank. I use to work at company that delt with mortgages and Wells Fargo our customer. Saw so many shady things. Good thing the truth is out about them. I’m sure other banks like this too.
mrjamila88 theyre all crooks
Yes
This is how the one percenters get wealthy .
Back in 1970 I was on a United Airlines flight from Ft Lewis ,Washington to Camrahn Bay South Vietnam. i ad just graduated from high school the year before. we were a bunch of kids from all over the US caught up in mixed emotions for all the twenty-three hours we were in flight. I must have heard this song for ever hour on the hour among other songs. this song will always take me back to that long flight over the Pacific (the big blue pond as we called it in Vietnam. I will always appreciate this song as it brings back vivid memories of that year I spent in Vietnam. I hope that all the guys in that particular flight to the war zone made it back as I did.

How can I find out if I have an account there. I've never even been on one of their doorsteps, but maybe I should check.
Working for Wells Fargo at the phone bank at the Shoreview, MN location has been by far the worst employment experience of my entire life. It was so bad I felt I needed to do the right thing and go online to blog about everything that happened while I worked for Wells Fargo in order to warn people who might be considering a career with this horrible, unethical, morally corrupt company. I am 36 years old and I have worked in quite a few call centers. This was the worst call center position I have ever had (and not just because of the phone banker position itself).
I did not apply for a job at Wells Fargo. After making my resume public on indeed.com, I was contacted by email by a hiring recruiter. She asked me to setup a phone interview later that day. After we had the phone interview, she asked me to come in for an in person interview with a hiring manager the next day. The next day I had an in person interview with a hiring manager. Later that same afternoon the recruiter called and made me a job offer which I accepted (even though it was for very low pay, I thought to myself. . . what could possibly be worse than working at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Minnesota?) I wanted out of that role so bad I figured this must be the light at the end of the tunnel and I went for it. Big mistake!
The training was very basic and failed to prepare us for anything that we needed to know in order to do our job efficiently. The training systems were outdated and the VL didn't even match what agents used out in production. The trainer was rude and didn't seem to care about his job. All they seemed to care about during training was how important it was to document customer complaints to prevent more law suits (because apparently everyone was suing Wells Fargo). I'm not just talking about the scandal of 2016. One time after work, after a customer made some remarks about "how much trouble we were in," I went home and did a google search for "Wells Fargo law suits." I was just shocked and blown away at the sheer volume and dollar amount of legal settlements this bank is being required to pay!
The phone banker role itself was excruciatingly stressful (and I am considered a call center veteran with over 11 years of experience on the phones from multiple call center positions). It was beyond brutal. The volume of calls was staggering, with no time ever in between calls. As soon as one call ended, another immediately beeped in every single day. I averaged over 100 calls a day. One day I took over 200 phone calls! (They expect your handle time as a phone banker to be below 265 seconds.) Keep in mind, Wells Fargo has something called a "second chance" program. This program basically allows anyone to bank with them (despite what they may have done in the past). This means phone bankers were required to take calls from customers who were less than reputable. Again, I am trying to be as transparent as possible about this employment experience. (It seemed every call I took was either from someone in a trailer park or a ghetto!) Customers who didn't even know basic math. People who were at the very bottom of society. I remember receiving phone calls from homeless people!!! They straight out told me they were homeless. Just imagine how difficult it is to explain to someone (who doesn't even understand basic math) how posting times work and why they shouldn't look at Wells Fargo's website for their current balance and that not all transactions post immediately.
After several months out of training they announced they would be closing our site down and "displacing" all of us at the Shoreview, MN phone bank. They promised to help us all find outside employment and they would help "retain" top employees. They also claimed they would offer us all a severance package. We would work through the end of November and everyone would have the entire month of December off with pay. Once January first hit, that's when our severance pay would start. Even though I only worked there for less than a year, I was promised eight weeks of severance pay starting in January. We were also told we would have multiple resources at our disposal, including someone who would work with us one on one to help us be "retained" by the company or to find outside employment. This never happened. First they decided to close more locations down. Then they said they were going to extend production through January. Then it was changed to February.
As if the stress of being "displaced" (which is Wells Fargo's Minnesota nice passive aggressive way of saying laid off) wasn't bad enough, we all had plans on what we were going to do which went up in smoke. So I finally caved in and applied for a position which it turned out Wells Fargo was bringing in to replace the phone bank. They were hiring 60 employees for the Executive Office Case Specialist position. The role involved dealing with escalated complaints that mostly came from branch locations. I passed the phone interview and was called in for an in person interview. Several days later I found out they decided my experience didn't match what they were looking for because during the interview I failed to explain how my experience was a good enough match for the position. At this time I also found out that almost the entire phone banker coaching queue had applied and been accepted for the same role. The manager I had my in person interview with was some guy they flew in from North Carolina to help with all the interviews. During the entire interview I had the impression he didn't want to be there and would rather be doing anything else besides talking to me. I remember at the end of the interview I asked him "What is the next step in the interview process from here?" He replied, "Well, we make our recommendations about who should move forward and then upper management decides the rest." Again, we were promised that management would do everything possible to help top employees be retained or find outside employment. Well this never happened. I ended up walking out and quitting out of sheer frustration and disappointment. (I ended up accepting a job with a different company less than one week later. . . for a much higher rate of pay than what I was making working for Wells Fargo.) I'm still not really sure why they didn't bother to take the time to look up my previous stats or at least look and check and see all the things that I already did for the company up to that point before they made a final decision.
WELLS FARGO HAS FAILED THEIR EMPLOYEES IN EVERY POSSIBLE WAY. It's almost as if their company culture encourages management to make the worst possible business decisions. This is why this company is in so much trouble. This company is criminal. All Wells Fargo management does is lie, lie, lie, and then lie some more. I'm not sure there will even be a Wells Fargo five years from now. They are closing down call centers and branches EVERYWHERE since they can't afford to pay employees due to all the legal settlements they are being hit with. Also, it has now come to light thanks to the media that Wells Fargo is having problems paying severance to employees from all the locations they have decided to close down. Especially now that all the MULTIPLE lawsuits are starting to be settled (again, as a result of all the poor business decisions management has made in previous years).
This has been an awful, terrible employment experience and I hope this company ends up being shut down!!! I hope this company is held accountable for all the negative things they have done and for all the poor business decisions they have made. If you are offered a job at this wretched excuse for a bank, RUN. . . don't just walk away! You need to do your research and make an educated decision. . . don't buy into this company's B.S. or lower your standards by associating yourself with their irreparably damaged brand. Just remember. . . there are quite a few reasons why this bank is in so much trouble!
Absurd 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
You speak well, and I'm sorry you had to go through this experience. The truth is, is that Big Business is only concerned with the $ Bottom line. They don't care about people, building relationships and a community for citizens to prosper and enjoy...... It's a sad culture, that goes on in this Country. People that become Whistle-Blowers to try to help with conditions like Wells Fargo was involved in learn they often become Victims because our own Democracy that is supposed to protect them is nothing but a MYTH! I am a Whistle-Blower and I know what I'm talking about. So do other people who have been persecuted for trying to do the right thing to protect people and our Society. We can go to the Moon... and this conduct ruins people's lives... It makes them ask, where is our DEMOCRACY? The salvation is in people like you and others that bring transparency to all the Corruption and shortcomings in our own Government...Our country is still wonderful because there are too many people who will still stand up to the tyranny that goes on... 7/28/22
I have actually talked to the girl that open my account and then I moved out of state and she answered my call when I told her all my money was taken and oh I have a IRA and she got on the phone and assured me. Now that's $7, 000 and I'm still overdrawn 400 and I give her oh I have Ira there and she says hold on and she goes and checks and she said okay I found that and the next day that was gone. I still see her at another bank branch but Wells Fargo won't listen to me
Contact a lawyer immediately and file a police report.
If you talk the way you write, I know why they don't listen/ understand you.
I feel this lady. I was one of the WF ex employee. I still in shock how they did all these wrong doings!

Great job Young Lady. Continue to live Righteously
Stand for something or fall for everything! kudos to you Mame!! Job well done!
Where is the rest of this episode?
Was there a second part to this video? It seems to end abruptly.
Reminds me of what they do at almost every other retail store in America. At the store I worked at, every employee was required to get X number of customers to apply for the store credit card. If you didn't meet the quota, your hours got cut. This practice if very common, especially at clothing stores. At one point I feel bad for the employees and want to apply for the card for their sake, but at the same time don't want to participate in the practice.
I cannot believe what I'm watching here. Personally I think people should no longer bank with this company. This is disgusting
It feels like yesterday that this story just came out.
I closed my business accounts, my kid’s accounts and personal accounts a long while back. Advised all my FB contacts to do the same at the time. Institution reeks of scandals.
I know that's right friend. For the first 6 months I was back with them if I posted a check on fri during business hours at the branch it wouldn't be available until Sunday and your way to save used to accrue interest with Wachovia but doesn't now
That’s crazy!
Glad I saw this I was unaware and was considering banking there
I worked credit card customer service I always complained about this to my managers but they didn’t care back in 2013
Thank god for people like her who speak out .......
Is this a part 1 of 2? It seems to end abruptly
Very good, may God bless you
"Jumped on the wagon; do things the Wells Fargo way" hahah no pun intended on her behalf
Wow!
CBC where is the rest of the video!!??
Why are their still opened. Wow.
🤔 it's crazy that they don't just invistigate every bank since this practices even now are done by other top tier banks 😑
