Other bank product/service Account opening, closing, or management Arkansas

On - of 2016 my girlfriend accepted a job. Little to our knowledge it was a job scam. The job provided contracts, websites, accreditation, and business registration number. She was told her job was an -. She was told a client was sending money to our account. She was told to open a - - - account. She was told after thirty days they would put her on the company account but until then she had to use her own. The client wired - into our account. The bank approved it and allowed her to move the money. Domestic wire transfers are reviewed and posted the same day. It took a week for them to decide to reject the wire transfer. They froze the account with NO NOTICE. They would n't tell me anything but that my account was under review and to call in three business days. I could n't access my money. I am in the - in three months. I was treated awful by the bank they did n't work with me at all. They accused me of fraud. They should have froze the account the day the wire transfer went in and investigated it then. They


the account we found out the job was a scam. We wish we would have known the day the transfer happened. This job spent three weeks convincing and " training '' my girlfriend. She had no idea it was a scam and she even - and asked for verifications. The bank let us down by not protecting us. We make average money the bank has never seen huge amounts hit out account they should have called and asked about it. They should have investigated it. Within a week of freezing the account all they said was the name was spelled wrong. They were accusing US of first party fraud? And they were exercising their right to do business with us ... not to mention informing us the bank took a " hit '' by approving the funds they did n't review so we had to pay it back.
