USAA Savings Bank Account Or Service Complaint

USAA Savings Bank account or service department,

Other bank product/service Making/receiving payments, sending money California

I am a member with USAA Bank and I have been having a problem with them because of a scam i fell for. The scam was an employment scam. The scammer contacted me with an employment opportunity. Subsequently, I cashed a check that they emailed me and wire transferred it into another bank because of the story they told me ( the whole conversation was documented ). After depositing the check and wire transferring it out to - Bank, i figured out this was a scam. I immediately called USAA to tell them what happened so actions could be taken to stop all further transactions. Unfortunately, the representative i spoke to did not inform me of all actions that I could take and the my overdraft protection, that i have on my checking account, kicked in and I was charged with the full amount of the check ( approximately $7900.00 ). I continued to speak with different representatives and departments within USAA but I always felt like I was getting the run around and no one really wanted to help with the problem. At one point, an USAA representative stated that she would get in contact with - Bank on my behalf to try to resolve the problem, that never happened. I spoke with - Bank about this problem and their Fraud Dept said that they would put on inquiry into the account that the money was transferred into, but could not do anything else. The - Bank representative said that my bank, USAA, would have to get in contact with them for anything to proceed any further. Again, USAA did not want to help this problem and said that I am responsible for all money that was charged due to my overdraft protection.
