The second the first check hit the account, OP should have had that account drained and locked down. Also should have been on the phone to the police talking about identity fraud. To let her sister cash a second check, that's just foolish! 🤦♂️
story was good until the bank transfer part. because banks are required to inform the feds on any cash transactions between $8 - 10 K special paperwork is required, the bank also should have called the older sisters bank. this regulation was put into effect decades ago
Better yet drained the account and put the money into a new account. I'm wondering how Mia got a hold of the money in the first place. Did she steal a check or two from OP's checkbook?
How stupid is this story...someone took money from your account and you didn't block it right away and also ask how they got access to it? Nah I don't rate OP at all.
The way they didn’t block their account after the first transaction makes this story hard to believe. Most banks recommend measures like closing the account or freezing it when fraud occurs.
you are 100% correct and the line that the bank could not doing anything about it was BS. years back my BIL had someone try this was his checking acct , not this much only about $1 k total and he reported it to the bank and got his money back
@@JoseGonzalez-qu2fq The proper word to use depends on the specific context. In general, “transfer” refers to the movement of funds or assets from one account to another, while “transaction” refers to any action that involves the exchange of goods, services, or money. In this case both apply as the bank provided the transaction and the thief the transfer. Still what needs to be reiterated is the fact after the first fraud attempt the hold should have been placed so that no other fraudulent activities could occur.
And the "can't file missing person report within 24h" schtick. It's a hollywood trope. Like silent guns and tasers that knock you unconscious to enable plot points to move forward.
@@andreavanhoof6047She should be but often people get away with stealing money in various ways. It actually, sad to say this, is easier to steal money these days and get away with it. Someone stole $14K from my mother's bank account (my mother is 96) this summer. My brother manages her account. It was definitely not him. And there has been zero progress from the bank in getting that money back from whoever used an electronic transfer to steal it.
Me too! I would have locked down that account at the bank too. Being in another state, she could have had federal charges against her too. Bank theft by wire transfer to another state has it's federal chages to be brought against Mia too. I've call the FBI in to change her too. Federal prison means no good time, and she'd of gotten a much longer sentence. I'd of showed my sister that she would never get a free ride from me. I wonder if the parents visit their golden child in the slammer?
No kidding, when someone tried to transfer 25k debt into my account (credit card) I was able to block and freeze any and all transactions 10 minutes later. Better yet why they didn’t inform the police to get a subpoena of card transactions. Didn’t even have to be for stealing but simply from being missing
You can tell not only from the so-called bank transfer but the hospital trip as well as a bunch of other things that this is a gigantic work of fiction
Of course this story is fake. In real life, if somebody uses forgeries to remove money from your account, and you immediately inform the bank, the bank is out the money, not you. The only case in which you'd be responsible for the money is if you wanted to protect the perpetrator from jail, which is obviously not what jappened in this story.
I stopped believing this as a true story when Mia was able to get $25,000 and the bank made no effort to get it back. The parents demanding OP buys things for her also made my eyebrows arch.
Depends about the account and if the bank person is willing to help you. It is easy for an account with your money to be accessed by a 3rd person and the bank will take their sweet time dealing with it and will only return the part that's covered by insurance after a mountain of documents and a few months of phonecalls (I've had my cards stolen). Now if it is their money, like with a credit card, where you don't have to give the bank the money someone stole from the account, they are faster than the secret service. In 20 min they'll have surveillance, testimonials of the bank workers or call records, IP addresses...and they'll tell you to expect your new card to arrive in a few days. I have given my mom access to my bank account, it just took one form with both of our signatures and some filing on the bank's side. So if sis got even one genuine letter from the bank with the account number and she already knows her sis and all her Id details, it only takes one not so deligent or bored bank employee to file it without both people present (or you can get a friend), and you get access to it and that's if you do withdrawal face to face. With internet banking you need the account number and to phone customer service and they'll help you reset "your" password. Face it, banks are only as secure as their employees are reliable.
Yea, I was like how does someone move money out of your account with no account number or authorization? And how can they fake a check? Need routing numbers and account numbers for the checks 🤷🏼♀️ I would think these are not something OP would give her family, especially her greedy, selfish sister.
How did she leave the bank the first time without finding out how the sister was able to access her account and not put a stop to it?!? She almost deserved the second 15K withdrawal for that
I blame the bank. It knew about the first fraudulent item but allowed the second to go through. He account should have been frozen or closed & opened a new account. That is what I would have done & what a real bank would. They should be liable for the second transfer
Girlfriend I would’ve told them if you want her to have all of that you give it to her you made that monster Dr and Mrs Frankenstein I have nothing to with this I don’t live here and now I’M OUT OF THIS HOUSE AND YOUR LIVES GOODBYE
Yep - my mother sponged off me for nearly 30 years and when I’m having difficulties she comes and takes everything she can in case I lose it all, when I knew I would be ok but she wouldn’t listen! I raised her 4 kids financially and she would beg every month for help like I was a husband! I’ve not spoken to her for 4 years after she stole everything and threw the rest away that she didn’t want 😢
an epi pen will stop a panic attack? I have never been in such a situation, I mean I have had panic attacks but never an epi pen... so can anyone experienced with it confirm? she also said "puffer" which is often a nickname for an asthma inhaler... just those two two things alone make me question the validity of this story... toxic siblings and golden child syndrome however I am experienced with so that's why I'm only partly skeptical.
Epi pen is for allergies. Puffer is for asthma. Never heard of anyone using these for panic attacks. I have done first aid, neither is used to assist panic attacks. Hospitals use a "calming drug" (don't remember what it's called). They inject it into the patient to calm them down. But it could be foolish readers Changing words again, like sitting down with ice becomes eating icecream to fix a sprained ankle... it could be a poorly written fake story. I not seen the original text.
if someone, even family, try to guilt trip you to do what they want by trying THAT kind of stunt, call the mental hospital, warn them about them then, leave, far & fast /: itll be hard but itll be far better than well, THIS :( edit spelling
That whole story blew up when at the end she says Mia wrote and forged checks and then cashed them, took the cash, and then spent the money. However at the beginning it says they found out it was her Bc she transferred the money to a bank account owned by a “Mia Rodgers” So the bank would’ve had to actually trace the transaction to Mia., in order for them them I loved the story right up it that last entry when the author just makes the worst plot mistake. Bummer.
Nah it’s all fake, these drama stories have proven to get views even tho not all that much, but it’s still something. It gives them incentives to write outrageous yet seem at least possible to be true, but it’s aaaaallllllll fake
@@bigbugga861 lol I hope these are fake!! I had my suspicions cos they all kinda seem the same- written with the same "voice"- and cos I don't understand what kind of people would stay with such awful people, or who would be so awful ON PURPOSE to people without any shame, especially in this day and age...but sometimes life can be stranger than fiction...let's just hope these stories get better, with more realistic and relatable storylines
I would tell my parents "because of your choices, having grandchildren is no longer an option. Thank you for taking that from all of us." and leave. Those 3 people are unforgivable.
She probably used the family's private information to log into her online account. Or found a computer her sister's bank was logged in on. People in IT can still be really stupid when it comes to security around their family.
I would have laughed all the way out of the parent's house and wished my parents the best of luck with their adult daughter that acts like a child. Have a nice life good luck having your adult daughter eat you out of food and home. Secondly, why wouldn't you call the cops right off the bat?
I am suspicious. The last update was only six weeks, and that is not enough time for a bank fraud case to proceed from charges through trial to sentencing.
For someone so smart, why didn't they change their account details when the first 10k left their savings account? Just seems like OP was like 'Darn, welp guess there's nothing i can do' and expected them not to do it again.
Because when someone is that 'intelligent', they're actually pretty stupid and have NO common sense! My daughter had a fiance like that. Intelligent? Oh yeah, so much so it was scary. Went to collage at 14 I think. Had either 3 or 4 degrees, coding, programming engineer, computer repair and something else. Dint know if he carried double majors or not, but he was done with school at 19. Got his very first job getting hired by Microsoft out in Seattle, earning $150k a year. They paid everything to move him out there. Company car and company apartment. He flew her out there and they found a newly built house and he bought it. With a year I think? He lost it all. They put him in charge of a small dept of 12 employees, he was supposed to run and coordinate that small department. He didnt know how. Didnt know how to follow up on e-mails he sent out to the others. He'd send 1 and that was it, never checked in hiw thing were progressing or if there were problems. He had trouble following directives from higher ups. He also told my daughter that he would take care of all household finances. Well he didn't and she knew nothing until the bank foreclosed on the house. Why he paid the utilities but not the house pmt? His morher said it was because he didnt know he had to. She had owned the house that she and her son lived in outright. My daughter threw in the towel and came home. Oh yeah so someone can be highly, highly intelligent and still be dumber than a rock.
This 1 is unbelievable 4 me... The bank would've changed her account numbers as soon as they called... My sister would've been ☠️ 2 me & it would b "ON SITE "💪🏿💪🏿🤜🏿🤛🏿 EVERYTIME Till I get my 💰💰 back TF 🤨😡
@@mekaplush2148 EXACTLY! When my bank lost a $600 CASH deposit, I through a major hissy up in there. EVERYONE in the bank that day knew about the bank's collassal error. Because that deposit was never credited, I had 7 checks bounce. One to the DMV, one for my car payment, one for insurance & 3 small Misc things. I only found out when the DMV showed up to my house to confiscate my plate - for the bounced check & no insurance (this was in the 90's before electronic banking & the internet) Dodge was threatening to reposses my car because I was 2 payments behind on my loan (both bounced) I still had returned checks coming in for a week after the account was closed. It was a HUGE mess. The bank did give me my $600 back (thankfully I still had my deposit slip)& had to pay me several hundreds of dollar for the return fees. I also had them write letters to explain the situation so I could take them to anywhere a check returned to fix my payment history BTW - I DID change banks. It was First Union in Charlotte, NC if anyone wants to know. They were later bought out by Wells Fargo, I think. I went to BOA & have been there since.
Mia is exactly we’re she belongs. $25k isn’t like getting pissed your brother took $20 out of your wallet. That is serious crime, glad you followed through and put her in prison. On a similar note, ghost the parents too.
Although this is hard to believe I've had something similar happen to me. My sister got my a certified copy of my birth certificate and my ssc with my mother's help. She went to a car dealership and somehow talked them into getting a car. I found out after about 3 months later when I got a certified letter stating I owed 3 months payments or they would turn it over for repo. I had no clue what they were talking about when I called them. They were in a city more than a hundread miles from where I lived. I finally talked to the sales guy and asked him to describe my wife. When he stated her height and blonde hair I knew. I called my mother and asked what she was thinking helping her. Asked where my sister was. She refused to say and told me I just needed to pay it. I contacted an attorney. We started filling the police reports. About a week later the car was found in California. My sister no where to be found. The guy driving the car was arrested for theft and drug charges. He made a plea deal and found my sister. Strung out on drugs on the streets. She told the cops she traded the car for money's owed to the dealer. This is only one of May instances she had done to me. More money than I cared to admit. Ended up splitting the family apart. I had a good job, money, and a happy family. This drove my sister crazy because she only saw I was better than her and I owed her everything I had. So I can see something like this happening. To this day she's still a penny less loser living on the Government dime.
Whomever wrote this story doesn't understand how bank transfers work. 1) Money cannot be transferred without the account holders password...especially such a large amount. 2) If Mia was somehow able to transfer the money, the bank would've never allowed a second transfer once the first illegal transfer went thru...the account would have been red-flagged.
my parent's raised me and my brother Equally so there was no favorite GOLDEN CHILD thank god for that and my mom's parent's didn't raise her or her siblings with one being a GOLDEN CHILD they were all treated the same
Sadly this can happen more often then you would think it would. Most banks won't act until YOU want them to. And since OP said that she KNEW the person it was being transferred to it raised no red flags. I honestly WISH I was lying. And hell if I knew what state this was in I can most likely find the case number if it was made public.
This Mia was an overly extra entitled AH. She deserved more than 5 years. Hope OP can find where Mia spent all her money and get it back. Best of luck on that. Cut tie with parents too. They were/are half the problem. And will help Mia when she gets out.
If my sister called me out and tried to embarass me at a gathering, I'd have shot back with, 'why would I need to buy you - a grown ass woman - a car or anything else?" You want it? Then you buy it yourself.' I don't suffer fools and mooches.
This OP has a low wisdom score, someone steals 10k in a bank transfer and her reaction is, this is thief, please block any transfers unless I am personally there. Also reversing transfers isn't that hard, her sister doesn't seem that bright. Also why didn't see change her passwords and run anti-virus and malware software on her computer. Also call the freaking police. P.S. Wait checks, that's BS, my bank calls me when a 1k check is being cashed, 10k, that's nuts. How did she get the bank account number, sounds like creative writing to me.
Story one go no contact with your sister and parents. Your sister has her own life if she wants to make that much money she hast to work hard for it. You can’t speak given to her because she feels she’s entitled and the parents.🤬
OP and husband should have prepared to depart from her parent's home while the sister was in the hospital and avoid the drama that her sister was planning to unleash on her.
All OP had to do at the bank was put a stop on all the accounts and move the money to either a new and different account number of a different bank,. How did the sister get the banking info? It isn't that easy to make a transfer of 10K or 15k. As a retired international banker there were several ways to take back the money and charge the sister with fraud. Part of this story is BS
I am having a hard time believing the sister was able to transfer large sums of money like that twice. When I needed to transfer money to someone and I had to show my driver’s license and get the transfer approved by the bank manager. Even if the bank allowed it the first time, no way would they have allowed it the second time after the account owner reported the theft.
And epipens are not used for panic attacks, they're used for an allergic reaction, also you cannot go into dehydration and starvation mode over the course of 48 hours! Even if she was able to magically do that to herself, there are federal laws and protocols where the hospital would have helped her on a 72 hour psychiatric hold! This story is so full of inaccuracies and flat out stupidity I am seriously shocked that anybody thinks it's actually real
It's unfortunate that Mia didn't succeed in making herself extinct in her tantrum over not being given lip fillers at 18. It would have saved the family endless needless suffering.
@@somethingclever8916There's no such thing as a "Suicide Attempt", if they are serious, they will do themselves in, that's nothing but (in some cases) a cry for help, but in this instance, real or imagined (I'm sure it has happened innumerable times), nothing but manipulation, which apparently is her way of getting what she wants in ANY situation!
Let me get this straight OP has a golden child sister who wants half her money and went on a hunger strike until OP agreed and her parents are supporting this... Right? Yeah, OP has all the reasons to cut all ties with the sister and go low or no contact with the parents (who I'll use the term loosely) who inaction and apathetic fuel their golden child daughter's arrogance even when she almost killed someone because she felt she knew better.
A car or a house you need to talk to your parents without her and really try to get through them and if you can’t tell them I’m going to contact with all of you. She did this to herself because she’s jealous and you raised her to be this way now to deal with the monster you made
The first thing I would’ve done is blocked the account, call the police and Have her charged with theft and throw in jail. No need to drive all night and deal with drama.
This story is ridiculous. Banks don't operate like that. Anyone who constantly attempts to self harm should never have a lock on their door. Any parents who literally nearly spoil their child to death should be behind bars and/or spayed and neutered and have their kids taken away from them.
I'll take "Fake Story" for 200, Alex. First, an EpiPen does NOT help with panic attacks. Second, no one can steal that much money in THAT short a time. Even with 5k, it'd take a WEEK to clear. Third, the bank would have told OP about the 10k.
Don't need a missing person just file charges it was taken from a bank. That Federal. Get a lawyer too you are going to need one. The bank is responsible for allowing her to take that much money. Never approach a narcissist like her because she belongs behind bars. Follow her to the balcony. You need a PUSH???
~200k is about average for people who know what they are doing. in the restaurant industry, there are cooks and chefs, many people think these are the same, but they are completely different skill levels in the tech industry there are coders & programers.
There's no way the sister managed to get 25k just like that and the bank didn't do anything to stop it, or even suggest to the woman to block her account. Plus, checks have their unique matrix numbers, a falsified signature isn't enough: you need to get in possession of the checks from the bank account's owner as well. On top of that when there's money movements over a certain sum you have to contact the bank in advance and let them know. I don't know in which country this story allegedly happened, but I don't really see a bank manager act so poorly in front of a potential theft, nor a bank have literally no protective measures towards its customer's funds.
Only someone who hasn't experienced a Above average income. You never discuss your income always talk down. There will always be envy and jealous and there will always be takers and users. You know more talk about how much money you make a year as you would take out A stick surrounded by a bunch of mad dogs. Never ever discuss your personal finances especially in public. This is the difference between the rich and the poor. You're running around with $100 bills on outside of your bankroll. Rich people carry their bank row with singles on the outside. Truly financially stable people don't want the world to know where Is there next victim will be. The nyavity of Best behavior deadly into the case that you Are in secure you have a need to impress. You need to get help with that you don't need to come down and show off the big car in the big green and the biggest in the Bag. That's trashy
I call bull. Why was a stop not put on the account before she left the bank? Of course she could have done something when Mia wasn’t there. After the FIRST incident, I would have called the police and had her arrested.
Mia can go M.I.A. Its not a relationship worth keeping because giving everything will never be enough. You could die and leave them gold bricks and it would be too shiney and too heavy
These stories gotta be for teenagers that don’t really know how the world works because they’re the only group that I could see believing something so wildly outlandish. All the stories on this particular channel give the same exact vibe.
I work at a bank and that's not how it works. Transfers can be recalled especially when when it was clearly fraud. Only time we can't do anything is when the account owner authorized it in the first place. Second what bank manger doesn't flag the account for possible fraud.
Yeah....An illegal transfer of money occurs you lock down your account, transfer the remaining money to a new account, and then with the cooperation of the bank you file a report. So much for realism in a fictional story.
I hope mia and her parents just realize that they won't see OP's kid/grandkid for the rest of their lives. OP's parents should be glad that they are NOT in jail with Mia and her weed buddies. But with a arrest record now? She'll starve more than anything else.
She said in the middle that the bank couldn't reverse the money because it was a transfer between accounts, not a transaction, and a transfer could not be canceled. Then, at the end, she said they got the money mecause The Rock had a friend who could forge signatures, and he forged her signature on a couple of checks (though she didn't know how they got her signature). A check is a transaction, not a transfer. That is not adding up.
The instant you tell a banker that you will report this illegal transfer and that you want to withdraw all your money and change bank they hop to action real quick
Ok I'm late to the party, but calling serious bullshit here. And Mr. Reddito, you should have too. You used to question the validity of stories like this a lot more, and now you're not. First of all, the part with the sister starving herself is just like a story you read not too long ago of a transgender sister doing the same thing so her brother couldn't pick their vacation destination. What's more, the OP could have opened a fraud case right away on the money transfers. This was dramatic and entertaining, but poorly written. Banks don't mess around with fraud. Even if it took time, that money would have all been recovered. Also, to commit check fraud the way they did, OP's sister would have had to have literally stolen her checkbook. You can't just write out a check from anyone and expect it to work from any random account. That's not how it works. The only way the transfer could have been done that way is if the sister got OP's account number, and wired the money from one account to another. And the bank would have broken the connection between the accounts as soon as the OP told them that it was fraudulent. Meaning the second transfer should have never gone through.
People like Mia exist and they do this sort of thing. There are certainly questions about the validity of the particular details. Having said that, it is my experience that these sort of people never change in their ethics and morals: There is no redemption for them. For all people who are like this, there should be no good end and they should be held accountable for their misdeeds -- as a reflection of who and what they are at their core.
Tell bank there was a fraud charge on your account and you want to press charges for that fraud; put a block that only you or hubby can access that account or CONTACT POLICE IN THAT STATE SBOUT FRAUD ON YOUR ACCOUNT
How did Mia get OPs banking information? The Bank Manager should have suggested the account be closed or blocked. He didn't so I would hold the bank libel. I'm glad Mia was held accountable for her actions.
OP allowed them to keep taking money ?? Why the FUK a didnt op close the account? Transfer tbr MONEY? This is OPs failure and fault. She should have called the police immediately but instead she drove there ?
A NITWIT FIRST CLASS. After the 1st fraud, she did not change the passwords. Her inaction might have been taken as implied consent for the 2nd. Time for a tax expert consultation.The $ 25,000 is taxable income if not recovered. Even stolen money is subject to income taxes. Marissa could tell Mia that she is going to put in a squeal with the IRS if not repaid.
Op was stupid as he77!!! The very minute she found out about the money being gone she should have locked that acct down! I'm wickedly surprised that the band didn't suggest it!!
Sell all the designer bags, clothes and shoes; she is not going to need them. It might recoup some of the money. Restitution will start after release; it will be deducted from benefit payments. A brand new Gucci handbag would retail at $2,000 easily sell it for $850 for quick sale, Designer shoes also start $ 900; sell at 50% for quick sale. When she's released bring her Primark clothes.
I would have called the Police after the first transfer and reported sister for identity fraud. Then I would lock down my credit. BTW, that much money is a Federal Crime in the USA. Nothing will reform Mia. She will just gain a whole new education in jail so OP needs to move house and install the best security she can get.
Have never heard a person arrested, tried and convicted in a month. What country's legal system moves this fast? And 5 years on a 1st conviction? I call 🐂💩
The second the first check hit the account, OP should have had that account drained and locked down. Also should have been on the phone to the police talking about identity fraud. To let her sister cash a second check, that's just foolish! 🤦♂️
Absolutely
story was good until the bank transfer part. because banks are required to inform the feds on any cash transactions between $8 - 10 K special paperwork is required, the bank also should have called the older sisters bank. this regulation was put into effect decades ago
Better yet drained the account and put the money into a new account. I'm wondering how Mia got a hold of the money in the first place. Did she steal a check or two from OP's checkbook?
No calling the cops for theft? Bank couldn't help? I am calling far fetched or poor decision making by OP
How stupid is this story...someone took money from your account and you didn't block it right away and also ask how they got access to it? Nah I don't rate OP at all.
The way they didn’t block their account after the first transaction makes this story hard to believe. Most banks recommend measures like closing the account or freezing it when fraud occurs.

Transactions and transfers are different things. Unfortunately transfers cannot be stopped because once authorized, it’s official.

Surely if this was true your bank would have immediately put a block on your account?
She could have put a block herself. OR she could have either locked the account down or closed it.
No kidding, when someone tried to transfer 25k debt into my account (credit card) I was able to block and freeze any and all transactions 10 minutes later.
Better yet why they didn’t inform the police to get a subpoena of card transactions.

Exactly. these stories are so incredibly fake it's actually SAD.
Let's not even get in to using an epipen for anxiety
Depends about the account and if the bank person is willing to help you.
It is easy for an account with your money to be accessed by a 3rd person and the bank will take their sweet time dealing with it and will only return the part that's covered by insurance after a mountain of documents and a few months of phonecalls (I've had my cards stolen). Now if it is their money, like with a credit card, where you don't have to give the bank the money someone stole from the account, they are faster than the secret service. In 20 min they'll have surveillance, testimonials of the bank workers or call records, IP addresses...and they'll tell you to expect your new card to arrive in a few days.
I have given my mom access to my bank account, it just took one form with both of our signatures and some filing on the bank's side. So if sis got even one genuine letter from the bank with the account number and she already knows her sis and all her Id details, it only takes one not so deligent or bored bank employee to file it without both people present (or you can get a friend), and you get access to it and that's if you do withdrawal face to face. With internet banking you need the account number and to phone customer service and they'll help you reset "your" password.
Face it, banks are only as secure as their employees are reliable.
@@winniethepoohandeeyore2, I was thinking that too.
Doesn't make sense, the account should have been blocked after first withdrawal
Can stop a transaction but not a transfer? Seems weird thing to say...
Yea, I was like how does someone move money out of your account with no account number or authorization? And how can they fake a check? Need routing numbers and account numbers for the checks 🤷🏼♀️ I would think these are not something OP would give her family, especially her greedy, selfish sister.
@Stirred Not Shaken also op lived in another state so how would the sis get hold of it?
There would have been no transfer in the first place
How did she leave the bank the first time without finding out how the sister was able to access her account and not put a stop to it?!? She almost deserved the second 15K withdrawal for that
Exactly what I was thinking. Dummy 😊
I blame the bank. It knew about the first fraudulent item but allowed the second to go through. He account should have been frozen or closed & opened a new account.
That is what I would have done & what a real bank would. They should be liable for the second transfer
Facts
@@susanmcpeak7267 Agreed. Also, knowing that the first charge was fraud, they could have contacted Mia's bank and frozen it too.
Ridiculous story
Girlfriend I would’ve told them if you want her to have all of that you give it to her you made that monster Dr and Mrs Frankenstein I have nothing to with this I don’t live here and now I’M OUT OF THIS HOUSE AND YOUR LIVES GOODBYE
You could file charges for theft of $25K against the twit.
No she couldn't because it's not a real story. The bank would have flagged the fraud immediately
It was probably a much smaller amount. $25 not $25k
DONT !!!! DO NOT !!! DONT !!!!! GIVE ANY OF FAMILY !!!! A RED CENT !,,,
PARENTS ALSO DEMAND YOU HAND OVER A CUT OF YOUR SALARY ?…. Lololool
Yep - my mother sponged off me for nearly 30 years and when I’m having difficulties she comes and takes everything she can in case I lose it all, when I knew I would be ok but she wouldn’t listen! I raised her 4 kids financially and she would beg every month for help like I was a husband! I’ve not spoken to her for 4 years after she stole everything and threw the rest away that she didn’t want 😢
an epi pen will stop a panic attack? I have never been in such a situation, I mean I have had panic attacks but never an epi pen... so can anyone experienced with it confirm? she also said "puffer" which is often a nickname for an asthma inhaler...
just those two two things alone make me question the validity of this story...
toxic siblings and golden child syndrome however I am experienced with so that's why I'm only partly skeptical.
Epi pen is for allergies. Puffer is for asthma. Never heard of anyone using these for panic attacks. I have done first aid, neither is used to assist panic attacks. Hospitals use a "calming drug" (don't remember what it's called). They inject it into the patient to calm them down. But it could be foolish readers Changing words again, like sitting down with ice becomes eating icecream to fix a sprained ankle... it could be a poorly written fake story. I not seen the original text.
well, the author probably didn't know enough when trying to write this.
if someone, even family, try to guilt trip you to do what they want by trying THAT kind of stunt, call the mental hospital, warn them about them then, leave, far & fast /:
itll be hard but itll be far better than well, THIS :(
edit
spelling
That whole story blew up when at the end she says Mia wrote and forged checks and then cashed them, took the cash, and then spent the money. However at the beginning it says they found out it was her Bc she transferred the money to a bank account owned by a “Mia Rodgers” So the bank would’ve had to actually trace the transaction to Mia., in order for them them I loved the story right up it that last entry when the author just makes the worst plot mistake. Bummer.
These stories are written by people, it isn't real life.
And you can't write a check on a savings account, you can wire transfer from one
@@jessebartley6246
They probably meant a deposit/withdrawal slip
Nah it’s all fake, these drama stories have proven to get views even tho not all that much, but it’s still something. It gives them incentives to write outrageous yet seem at least possible to be true, but it’s aaaaallllllll fake
@@bigbugga861 lol I hope these are fake!! I had my suspicions cos they all kinda seem the same- written with the same "voice"- and cos I don't understand what kind of people would stay with such awful people, or who would be so awful ON PURPOSE to people without any shame, especially in this day and age...but sometimes life can be stranger than fiction...let's just hope these stories get better, with more realistic and relatable storylines
I would tell my parents "because of your choices, having grandchildren is no longer an option. Thank you for taking that from all of us." and leave. Those 3 people are unforgivable.
I would have gone no contact with Mia or her parents!
@@andreavanhoof6047 After I filed a police report.
Why did Mia have access to OP's account?
This is my own question
Only in fictional stories.
She probably used the family's private information to log into her online account. Or found a computer her sister's bank was logged in on. People in IT can still be really stupid when it comes to security around their family.
@@toysruskid5074 that would make sense. I mean, with people like the sister, you can’t be too careful.
I would have laughed all the way out of the parent's house and wished my parents the best of luck with their adult daughter that acts like a child. Have a nice life good luck having your adult daughter eat you out of food and home. Secondly, why wouldn't you call the cops right off the bat?
That's what I was thinking I would've blocked the account and called the cops before anymore money went missing
@ben jack because calling the cops on your family is the last thing you want to do
@@latoyabaker2823 Not when your family steals 25K.
I am suspicious. The last update was only six weeks, and that is not enough time for a bank fraud case to proceed from charges through trial to sentencing.
well, yes... In the real world...
OP should have insisted that the money the sister stole from her account be paid back after she comes out of prison..
Why did she not block her account as soon as she saw this.
For someone so smart, why didn't they change their account details when the first 10k left their savings account? Just seems like OP was like 'Darn, welp guess there's nothing i can do' and expected them not to do it again.
Because when someone is that 'intelligent', they're actually pretty stupid and have NO common sense! My daughter had a fiance like that. Intelligent? Oh yeah, so much so it was scary. Went to collage at 14 I think. Had either 3 or 4 degrees, coding, programming engineer, computer repair and something else. Dint know if he carried double majors or not, but he was done with school at 19. Got his very first job getting hired by Microsoft out in Seattle, earning $150k a year. They paid everything to move him out there. Company car and company apartment. He flew her out there and they found a newly built house and he bought it. With a year I think? He lost it all. They put him in charge of a small dept of 12 employees, he was supposed to run and coordinate that small department. He didnt know how. Didnt know how to follow up on e-mails he sent out to the others. He'd send 1 and that was it, never checked in hiw thing were progressing or if there were problems. He had trouble following directives from higher ups. He also told my daughter that he would take care of all household finances. Well he didn't and she knew nothing until the bank foreclosed on the house. Why he paid the utilities but not the house pmt? His morher said it was because he didnt know he had to. She had owned the house that she and her son lived in outright. My daughter threw in the towel and came home. Oh yeah so someone can be highly, highly intelligent and still be dumber than a rock.
This 1 is unbelievable 4 me... The bank would've changed her account numbers as soon as they called... My sister would've been ☠️ 2 me & it would b "ON SITE "💪🏿💪🏿🤜🏿🤛🏿 EVERYTIME Till I get my 💰💰 back TF 🤨😡
@@mekaplush2148
EXACTLY! When my bank lost a $600 CASH deposit, I through a major hissy up in there. EVERYONE in the bank that day knew about the bank's collassal error.
Because that deposit was never credited, I had 7 checks bounce. One to the DMV, one for my car payment, one for insurance & 3 small Misc things.
I only found out when the DMV showed up to my house to confiscate my plate - for the bounced check & no insurance (this was in the 90's before electronic banking & the internet) Dodge was threatening to reposses my car because I was 2 payments behind on my loan (both bounced) I still had returned checks coming in for a week after the account was closed.
It was a HUGE mess. The bank did give me my $600 back (thankfully I still had my deposit slip)& had to pay me several hundreds of dollar for the return fees. I also had them write letters to explain the situation so I could take them to anywhere a check returned to fix my payment history
BTW - I DID change banks. It was First Union in Charlotte, NC if anyone wants to know. They were later bought out by Wells Fargo, I think. I went to BOA & have been there since.
It would have been the first thing the bank manager did.
Many people assume the bank would automatically block the account
Mia is exactly we’re she belongs. $25k isn’t like getting pissed your brother took $20 out of your wallet. That is serious crime, glad you followed through and put her in prison. On a similar note, ghost the parents too.
I can’t bring myself to believe this is a real story
It's not.
Although this is hard to believe I've had something similar happen to me. My sister got my a certified copy of my birth certificate and my ssc with my mother's help. She went to a car dealership and somehow talked them into getting a car. I found out after about 3 months later when I got a certified letter stating I owed 3 months payments or they would turn it over for repo. I had no clue what they were talking about when I called them. They were in a city more than a hundread miles from where I lived. I finally talked to the sales guy and asked him to describe my wife. When he stated her height and blonde hair I knew. I called my mother and asked what she was thinking helping her. Asked where my sister was. She refused to say and told me I just needed to pay it. I contacted an attorney. We started filling the police reports. About a week later the car was found in California. My sister no where to be found. The guy driving the car was arrested for theft and drug charges. He made a plea deal and found my sister. Strung out on drugs on the streets. She told the cops she traded the car for money's owed to the dealer. This is only one of May instances she had done to me. More money than I cared to admit. Ended up splitting the family apart. I had a good job, money, and a happy family. This drove my sister crazy because she only saw I was better than her and I owed her everything I had. So I can see something like this happening. To this day she's still a penny less loser living on the Government dime.
Whomever wrote this story doesn't understand how bank transfers work.
1) Money cannot be transferred without the account holders password...especially such a large amount.
2) If Mia was somehow able to transfer the money, the bank would've never allowed a second transfer once the first illegal transfer went thru...the account would have been red-flagged.
my parent's raised me and my brother Equally so there was no favorite GOLDEN CHILD thank god for that and my mom's parent's didn't raise her or her siblings with one being a GOLDEN CHILD they were all treated the same
Sadly this can happen more often then you would think it would. Most banks won't act until YOU want them to. And since OP said that she KNEW the person it was being transferred to it raised no red flags. I honestly WISH I was lying. And hell if I knew what state this was in I can most likely find the case number if it was made public.
Op should have told the bank that the transfer was not approved. Blocked the account.
Transfer then became cashed checks 2 completely different stories. 100% fake story
How is forging a signature on 2 checks considered a transfer?
well, when you are trying to write fiction, but don't know enough about the banking system...
Press charges and cut contact. Go home and enjoy life. Thanks Mr Reddito. How did she get into the account anyway?
Sister If I was you I’d call the police and press charges
And changed my bank account info as soon as the first transfer was made.
This Mia was an overly extra entitled AH. She deserved more than 5 years. Hope OP can find where Mia spent all her money and get it back. Best of luck on that. Cut tie with parents too. They were/are half the problem. And will help Mia when she gets out.
daughter:- *my mother was over-joyed to see me*
moms thoughts:- *oooh sweet, the walking dumb, money bags is here, lets play*
If my sister called me out and tried to embarass me at a gathering, I'd have shot back with, 'why would I need to buy you - a grown ass woman - a car or anything else?" You want it? Then you buy it yourself.'
I don't suffer fools and mooches.
Everything that happened to Mia she did it to herself
Crazy that after the 10 left how she didn’t make sure it couldn’t happen again
Why the hell didn't she close that account when she realized her sister took ten Grand? Now she took another 15000. OP really is a sucker!
He is telling a "story", not factual.
This story is fishy. How does Mia found access to her account to make transfer since black magic doesn't against technology 😅
She could’ve left her computer on at her parents house on her account.
This OP has a low wisdom score, someone steals 10k in a bank transfer and her reaction is, this is thief, please block any transfers unless I am personally there. Also reversing transfers isn't that hard, her sister doesn't seem that bright. Also why didn't see change her passwords and run anti-virus and malware software on her computer. Also call the freaking police. P.S. Wait checks, that's BS, my bank calls me when a 1k check is being cashed, 10k, that's nuts. How did she get the bank account number, sounds like creative writing to me.
Use social media to destroy her
Absolutely! And being behind bars, there's nothing she can do about it.
GUILT TRIP!¡
WALK AWAY!!!!!
That sister now have federal record. I hope she gets some mental health care inside.
Story one go no contact with your sister and parents. Your sister has her own life if she wants to make that much money she hast to work hard for it. You can’t speak given to her because she feels she’s entitled and the parents.🤬
OP and husband should have prepared to depart from her parent's home while the sister was in the hospital and avoid the drama that her sister was planning to unleash on her.
All OP had to do at the bank was put a stop on all the accounts and move the money to either a new and different account number of a different bank,. How did the sister get the banking info? It isn't that easy to make a transfer of 10K or 15k. As a retired international banker there were several ways to take back the money and charge the sister with fraud. Part of this story is BS
Only part of the story? 😂
NEVER tell family members what your salary is. The fall out and begging will begin immediately.
I am having a hard time believing the sister was able to transfer large sums of money like that twice. When I needed to transfer money to someone and I had to show my driver’s license and get the transfer approved by the bank manager. Even if the bank allowed it the first time, no way would they have allowed it the second time after the account owner reported the theft.
And epipens are not used for panic attacks, they're used for an allergic reaction, also you cannot go into dehydration and starvation mode over the course of 48 hours! Even if she was able to magically do that to herself, there are federal laws and protocols where the hospital would have helped her on a 72 hour psychiatric hold!
This story is so full of inaccuracies and flat out stupidity I am seriously shocked that anybody thinks it's actually real
It's unfortunate that Mia didn't succeed in making herself extinct in her tantrum over not being given lip fillers at 18. It would have saved the family endless needless suffering.
World would be a better place. Not being insensitive but she does want to and that's how she identifies.
@@somethingclever8916There's no such thing as a "Suicide Attempt", if they are serious, they will do themselves in, that's nothing but (in some cases) a cry for help, but in this instance, real or imagined (I'm sure it has happened innumerable times), nothing but manipulation, which apparently is her way of getting what she wants in ANY situation!
Let me get this straight OP has a golden child sister who wants half her money and went on a hunger strike until OP agreed and her parents are supporting this... Right?
Yeah, OP has all the reasons to cut all ties with the sister and go low or no contact with the parents (who I'll use the term loosely) who inaction and apathetic fuel their golden child daughter's arrogance even when she almost killed someone because she felt she knew better.
A car or a house you need to talk to your parents without her and really try to get through them and if you can’t tell them I’m going to contact with all of you. She did this to herself because she’s jealous and you raised her to be this way now to deal with the monster you made
The first thing I would’ve done is blocked the account, call the police and Have her charged with theft and throw in jail. No need to drive all night and deal with drama.
How can Mia have access to OP's bank account? Also, OP needs to change her bank.
I really couldn't understand that.
Great story, but there is one thing I want to point out "voila" is pronounced "vwah-lah".
I'm glad OP followed through!
This story is ridiculous. Banks don't operate like that. Anyone who constantly attempts to self harm should never have a lock on their door. Any parents who literally nearly spoil their child to death should be behind bars and/or spayed and neutered and have their kids taken away from them.
Don’t feel bad she lost her job she did that all on her own
I'll take "Fake Story" for 200, Alex. First, an EpiPen does NOT help with panic attacks. Second, no one can steal that much money in THAT short a time. Even with 5k, it'd take a WEEK to clear. Third, the bank would have told OP about the 10k.
Don't need a missing person just file charges it was taken from a bank. That Federal. Get a lawyer too you are going to need one. The bank is responsible for allowing her to take that much money. Never approach a narcissist like her because she belongs behind bars. Follow her to the balcony. You need a PUSH???
Self Harm is the most productive thing people like Mia are capable of.
She needs to be in a mental institution. What a sick ticket.
This story sounds fake... at least about a 15k check. No bank lets you withdrawl that much.
~200k is about average for people who know what they are doing.
in the restaurant industry, there are cooks and chefs, many people think these are the same, but they are completely different skill levels
in the tech industry there are coders & programers.
There's no way the sister managed to get 25k just like that and the bank didn't do anything to stop it, or even suggest to the woman to block her account. Plus, checks have their unique matrix numbers, a falsified signature isn't enough: you need to get in possession of the checks from the bank account's owner as well. On top of that when there's money movements over a certain sum you have to contact the bank in advance and let them know. I don't know in which country this story allegedly happened, but I don't really see a bank manager act so poorly in front of a potential theft, nor a bank have literally no protective measures towards its customer's funds.
Only someone who hasn't experienced a Above average income. You never discuss your income always talk down. There will always be envy and jealous and there will always be takers and users. You know more talk about how much money you make a year as you would take out A stick surrounded by a bunch of mad dogs. Never ever discuss your personal finances especially in public. This is the difference between the rich and the poor. You're running around with $100 bills on outside of your bankroll. Rich people carry their bank row with singles on the outside. Truly financially stable people don't want the world to know where Is there next victim will be. The nyavity of Best behavior deadly into the case that you Are in secure you have a need to impress. You need to get help with that you don't need to come down and show off the big car in the big green and the biggest in the Bag. That's trashy
I call bull.
Why was a stop not put on the account before she left the bank? Of course she could have done something when Mia wasn’t there. After the FIRST incident, I would have called the police and had her arrested.
When they said you buy her a car or a house I would have said no I love her so I will pay for inpatient rehab for her and nothing else
Mia can go M.I.A.
Its not a relationship worth keeping because giving everything will never be enough.
You could die and leave them gold bricks and it would be too shiney and too heavy
These stories gotta be for teenagers that don’t really know how the world works because they’re the only group that I could see believing something so wildly outlandish. All the stories on this particular channel give the same exact vibe.
I work at a bank and that's not how it works. Transfers can be recalled especially when when it was clearly fraud. Only time we can't do anything is when the account owner authorized it in the first place. Second what bank manger doesn't flag the account for possible fraud.
Yeah....An illegal transfer of money occurs you lock down your account, transfer the remaining money to a new account, and then with the cooperation of the bank you file a report. So much for realism in a fictional story.
I hope mia and her parents just realize that they won't see OP's kid/grandkid for the rest of their lives. OP's parents should be glad that they are NOT in jail with Mia and her weed buddies. But with a arrest record now? She'll starve more than anything else.
OP should have pressed criminal charges and filed a lawsuit. Anything less is being too lenient.
Don't worry, they won't. I can personally guarantee this on the basis op, her child, Mia, and the parents are characters in a work of fiction
She said in the middle that the bank couldn't reverse the money because it was a transfer between accounts, not a transaction, and a transfer could not be canceled. Then, at the end, she said they got the money mecause The Rock had a friend who could forge signatures, and he forged her signature on a couple of checks (though she didn't know how they got her signature). A check is a transaction, not a transfer. That is not adding up.
The requirement to wait 24 hours before filing a missing persons report only exists in movies, TV, and fiction, not in reality.
The instant you tell a banker that you will report this illegal transfer and that you want to withdraw all your money and change bank they hop to action real quick
Ok I'm late to the party, but calling serious bullshit here. And Mr. Reddito, you should have too. You used to question the validity of stories like this a lot more, and now you're not. First of all, the part with the sister starving herself is just like a story you read not too long ago of a transgender sister doing the same thing so her brother couldn't pick their vacation destination. What's more, the OP could have opened a fraud case right away on the money transfers. This was dramatic and entertaining, but poorly written. Banks don't mess around with fraud. Even if it took time, that money would have all been recovered. Also, to commit check fraud the way they did, OP's sister would have had to have literally stolen her checkbook. You can't just write out a check from anyone and expect it to work from any random account. That's not how it works. The only way the transfer could have been done that way is if the sister got OP's account number, and wired the money from one account to another. And the bank would have broken the connection between the accounts as soon as the OP told them that it was fraudulent. Meaning the second transfer should have never gone through.
She’s overdue for some tough love
Bank would've returned her funds back to her.
People like Mia exist and they do this sort of thing. There are certainly questions about the validity of the particular details.
Having said that, it is my experience that these sort of people never change in their ethics and morals: There is no redemption for them. For all people who are like this, there should be no good end and they should be held accountable for their misdeeds -- as a reflection of who and what they are at their core.
Mia needs help, and her parents need to stop, enabling her and tell her to grow up stop babying her
I’m glad they were all rested and went to jail
Of course the story isn't real but had it been, I'd have it harvested for organs on the black market lol.
Dang really sounds like my little spoiled sister
She should have never even gone to see that loser. Who drives 4hrs to see a sibling they hate?
these stories all have ENDINGS, like endings wrapped with a bow. very uncommon for reddit
parents with favorites are the destroyers of their favorites
Nobody starves in two days…just saying.
Tell bank there was a fraud charge on your account and you want to press charges for that fraud; put a block that only you or hubby can access that account or CONTACT POLICE IN THAT STATE SBOUT FRAUD ON YOUR ACCOUNT
How did Mia get OPs banking information? The Bank Manager should have suggested the account be closed or blocked. He didn't so I would hold the bank libel. I'm glad Mia was held accountable for her actions.
OP allowed them to keep taking money ?? Why the FUK a didnt op close the account? Transfer tbr MONEY? This is OPs failure and fault. She should have called the police immediately but instead she drove there ?
A NITWIT FIRST CLASS. After the 1st fraud, she did not change the passwords. Her inaction might have been taken as implied consent for the 2nd. Time for a tax expert consultation.The $ 25,000 is taxable income if not recovered. Even stolen money is subject to income taxes. Marissa could tell Mia that she is going to put in a squeal with the IRS if not repaid.
Why didn't you call the police on your thieving sister? Why didn't you change passwords.
Op was stupid as he77!!! The very minute she found out about the money being gone she should have locked that acct down! I'm wickedly surprised that the band didn't suggest it!!
Sell all the designer bags, clothes and shoes; she is not going to need them. It might recoup some of the money. Restitution will start after release; it will be deducted from benefit payments.
A brand new Gucci handbag would retail at $2,000 easily sell it for $850 for quick sale, Designer shoes also start $ 900; sell at 50% for quick sale.
When she's released bring her Primark clothes.
This is such a ridiculous
unbelievable story !!!
Report this Mia to the police for stealing / robbery !!!
I would have called the Police after the first transfer and reported sister for identity fraud. Then I would lock down my credit. BTW, that much money is a Federal Crime in the USA. Nothing will reform Mia. She will just gain a whole new education in jail so OP needs to move house and install the best security she can get.
This keeps coming up but you don't need 24 hours to file a missing person report, report immediately don't wait
Honey! You should have locked the account while you were at that bank!!! Anyway, glad that the situation is resolved. Good luck with the baby!
Why would she not tell the bank that it was taken without permission and get it blocked right away!?!?
Have never heard a person arrested, tried and convicted in a month. What country's legal system moves this fast? And 5 years on a 1st conviction? I call 🐂💩
