$72,360 Wired Out of Wells Fargo Accounts Overnight, South Carolina Couple Sues After Bank Denies Fraud Claim

A couple is suing Wells Fargo after $72,360 was wired out of their accounts overnight and the bank refused to pay it back. Melanie and Jack Anderson of Bluffton say they never authorized the transfers, reports the Savannah news station WJCL. The South Carolina couple says the money left in two wires sent at 1 a.m. and 4 a.m. Says Melanie Anderson, “I woke up and went to my computer like I do every day. And I looked at my Wells Fargo account, and there was a wire transfer for $22,500 out of my checking and $49,860 out of my savings, and I had no knowledge of that. I didn’t authorize it.” Wells Fargo denied their claim within days, saying its verification system worked.
