Bank of America Money Transfers Complaint

Domestic (US) money transfer Fraud or scam

Domestic (US) money transfer Fraud or scam North Carolina

I will try to make a long story very concise with my concern. : I transferred a total of $3600.00 in an intra-bank ( Bank of America ) wire-to-wire transaction, only to later determine ( after the deposits ) that I was defrauded. The banking institution 's policy is that since this is a wire to wire transaction, I am not protected by the financial institution for this type of transaction. The bank currently has a freeze on the account and is investigating the incident, HOWEVER, they have expressed to me that I am NOT eligible to have my money refunded from the fraudulent account until they make contact with the account holder ( the fraudulent criminal!!! ). Since they have not made contact with the fraudulent account holder, my claim is being denied. Then bank is unwilling to tell me if this denial will unfreeze the account. What criminal in their right mind would return a call? Why arent the facts in this case enough to reverse whatever remains in this account?
