SunTrust Banks, Inc. Bank Account Or Service Complaint

Checking account Account opening, closing, or management

SunTrust Banks, Inc. Bank account or service department,

Checking account Account opening, closing, or management Georgia

I found out on -/-/- that I was a victim of identify theft a few days after I opened up a bank account at a - - Branch when they emailed me saying it would be closed because they had discovered I had a Sun Trust Bank account which was flagged with a negative standing, which I never had an account with Sun Trust Bank before. After leaving the - - I immediately went to the nearest Sun Trust Bank Branch to follow up where I found out that an unknown suspect had fraudulently used my information -/-/-, misspelling my first name, using a completely different middle name from mines, my last name & social security number was the only things correct on the forged document where the unknown suspect forged a signature that was suppose to be mine. This document also did contain the bank teller 's information name which I believe that both were in on the fraudulent scam since only half of my information was correct & the teller accepted it anyway. I contacted the police to make a report. Sun Trust Bank Fraud Dept. even had a local detective come to my work place to see


immediately but once I did.. I contacted the detective to let him know who the woman was & I never heard anything back from him. To this day, Sun Trust has not did anything & this woman is still has not been punished for her crime, which is NOT fair. How can a bank let someone come in to one of their branches open up a bank account in someone 's name with half of their information as well as NOT press any charges after finding out the true identify of the scammer. This has been emotional stressful to know that a large company as Sun Trust allows things like this to go on & do nothing about it. After filling out an affidavit, all I was offered was the ability to now open up an account with one of their branches ... which I will NEVER do because of the fraudulently activities they allow. As a consumer I feel cheated & my name slandered.
