Regions Financial Corporation Bank Account Or Service Complaint

Regions Financial Corporation Bank account or service department,

Checking account Deposits and withdrawals Tennessee

I was contacted by an individual who told me he was the IRS and that I had a warrant for my arrest and if I did not pay him money that I would immediately be arrested. He told me I was not allowed to contact a 3rd party about the issue or disconnect from the phone call we were on or I would be considered uncooperative. He then instructed me to go to the nearest - and buy - $500.00 prepaid - gift cards to pay to have my warrant lifted so that I may begin a payment plan for the nearly $6000.00 that he said that I owed. He gave me a badge number as well as other professional sounding information. I ended up doing the first $1000.00 in cash because he told me to go to the bank first. I did the other $1000.00 on my Regions bank debit card. I finally got fed up when they said I had to pay the entire thing in full and told them I will just have to go to join because I do not have it which I did n't. I was very scared when this was happening. I hung


actually used my card.When I got there they told me I was the 3rd person this week alone that had came in with the exact same story. He said there was nothing that they could do. I then went to file a police report with the economic crime unit at out jail/ police station where they told me this is an ongoing scam and that it has been a very active one recently. They gave me instructions on what steps to take about my identity and to try to get back the money I lost. When I called the fraud agency they instructed me to file this complaint and that this was indeed something you guys could help me with due to the nature of the fraud. The economic crimes police report is # - their contact n # is -.
