Last story: OF COURSE OP should file a police report! And they should contact the Office of the Comptroller. That bank needs to be thoroughly investigated and people need to be held accountable!
Yes, time to not only open the police case, but to report them to the federal reserve for banking fraud. They want to avoid the investigation, that likely will result in a few of the bank managers and executives being barred from banking, and the massive fine that comes as well. And, as they were this lax, the investigation will likely uncover a few other cases as well, so even bigger fines, plus the attempts to cover up the whole thing as well.
I know uk/Europe they are looking at massive fines as a percentage of their profits or £20m whatever is higher and that is if they report it themselves if they don’t then it gets worse. Not sure about US penalties
I would be suing the bank for compromising my financial security and giving the other person my information ( could lead to identity theft)and also for their fiduciary negligence in this matter! Banks give us hell when someone steals our identity, time to pay them back!
Story 1, you can also report the Seller for Jumping Title as that is against the law in all 50 states. As for the Bank closing my account by giving my money to someone else. I would have made a police report as well as to the FDIC (since my funds were Insured) to hell with the bank that wanted to avoid public scrutiny!!!
Story 1: Progressive was your problem. Taking a new driver over the phone without calling the actual insured person on policy should be grounds for firing that person. Definitely switch providers!
it’s fake. unless the guy pretended to be him and fraudulently signed paperwork then they’re violating the policy and the law…if it’s true at all then the adjuster is in on it, but there’s no way in hell that it’s true
That’s actually fraud. That means, ANY random person could call and be put on some else’s insurance. The attorney general of MA should be involved if progressive actually allowed this. Since I also have progressive, I seriously doubt it.
Eh the Dopleganger might get off the hook (even be totally innocent) since the bank told her it was an inheritance in her name. Like I for one have enough extended elderly family that if my bank said "hey you have $XXXX left to you by a dead relative" and then let me withdraw the money in person and close the account (assuming she was there to finish off her car loan) I don't know that I would think twice about it.
That first story… if you find yourself in a similar situation, where the insurance company is clearly refusing to budge from an incorrect position, one of the places you should reach out to is the insurance commissioner’s office in your state. Insurance companies will move mountains if needed in order to keep the insurance commissioner happy.
it was fraud, they altered his policy without consent, without any verification from him, and without documentation…so either his identity was stolen to make the changes or the adjuster was in on it violating his rights and the policy euther way, it’s fake
I hate progressive. I switched to them and 24 hrs after my policy started I was in a accident. Since the other party took off the decided to not cover me and refund my complete 6 month payment. To add injury they also tried to place a at fault collision to my record but after many phone calls I got it removed.
In the last one a police report needs to be filed and a report with the state and federal banking commission to investigate the functioning of this bank. They are obviously playing very loose with personal information so what else has that led to beyond just this case? 🤔
First Story - You can't prove a negative. Unless OP affirmed that the other party lived with them, I can't see how it would be legal for the insurer to simply add someone else to the policy. Worst case OP asks to sign a waiver of insurance stating that the other is barred from driving the vehicle, so it's uninsured if they do.
I went to my bank to withdraw funds because I forgot by checkbook. They had all the paperwork done and commented that i live in Success, a small town about 20 miles away. I said no i live in another town about 15 miles in the opposite direction. She "oops. Wrong Chloe Cook." My name is not common but apparently there is another one here. I moved my account to another bank the next week
That bank needs to be sued because that's on professionals in right there you just give away funds to person just based on name and no other information. On top of the fact that yeah that they have now compromised safety and their privacy clause. I would definitely getting a hold of that woman tell her what's going on then she needs to sue them too. Remember suing a person is not just to get money but to make them change their policies and way of doing their business making that kind change that's needed.
Insurance fraud story: OP, after you switch providers make sure your new provider has written instructions not to place anyone else on your insurance without your express written permission and provide copies/details of the previous fraud attempt. Bank story: Yeah, stuff like this happens more often than you may think. My wife and I have had some (fortunately MINOR) problems with our bank due to a woman with a very similar first name as my wife (Chritine vs Christina) with the same last name. After jumping down a few throats a few times, we got the mess straightened out and the bank's been a lot more careful. This other person does live in another part of the same city, it's a local bank.
And as to that banking story, bloody hell, what an F up. I'd be seriously considering switching banks once it is all cleared up as their account security is obviously very weak if they are just using someone's name to attach to accounts. That's vulnerable to all kinds of easy fraud. My bank's security is no hell, but they at least confirm many account details when dealing with them.
@@frankhooper7871 Sadly, changing banks may either be not an option for varied reasons or the other banks where ever they are may be just as bad making it pointless. That said, I'd say the odds favor that switching would be wise.
Yeah, the last story, after the first run-around, 2 calls to be made, the police and an attorney. And when you tell the bank that, see how quickly the jump through hoops. Nothing like a breach being publicized to hurt the stock price. Hope that OP was offered some sort of compensation for the issue. Talk about breach of Fiduciary responsibilities.
Last story: Here in Canada, it wouldn't be only the cops that I call, but forward the information to the Bank of Canada, as these can not be isolated cases. As such, they are violating banking guidelines and should be reported. Also, I am taking my money elsewhere.
Maybe not a police report. But a report to the FDIC, the Comptroller of the Currency, and all other government agencies that regulate the bank. Copy the General Counsel of the bank. If a publicly traded bank (BofA, Citi, Wells Fargo, etc.), use the internet to find a copy of the latest annual report (search for bank name investor relations). The name and address of the General counsel (whose title is probably Corporate Secretary and General Counsel) near the back of the annual report.
I would have told all the other cleaners in the area about this woman and tell damn for sure that she's going to try and scam him and be a troublesome customers so they're going to have to give her high rates if they want their services.
Exactly! A relative has a cleaning service that does great work at a fair price. But she does the pre-contract inspections herself. She's had more than a few of these 'collectors' who cry foul at her price, but figurines and collectibles are time consuming to clean around...not to mention there's an increased chance of breaking one. But they always come crawling back once they find out the other companies either want more $$ or won't do it because their house is just too cluttered.
@@MojoPup Yeah the manager had so many complaints I would say after the second or third complaint I'd be going in and checking the place out and giving them an estimate. As well as telling him that there are ways of doing things if you want to do them a certain way you have to do it yourself stipulation. Also maybe yeah just go the extra mile and have your staff that doesn't know how to speak English take some English speaking courses or at least learn how to write basic phrases so that this kind of stuff doesn't happen again.
1st story. If they're trying to stick you for 500 bucks because somebody else is trying to jump on your car insurance, drop them entirely. The insurance is looking for someone else to pay for the leech and is trying to stick you a bill you have no business being charged. Last story, OP needs to file a police report because the bank just blatantly commited criminal negligence and accessory to fraud with their idiocy. The bank doesn't want this to get aired out because they'll be investigated and fined harshly for it. Not to mention the report can be used to sue and protect OP from any police reports made by the would-be theif.
Last story Opie didn't say it but I know it's wells Fargo. I am 100% sure it is Wells Fargo cuz they are the absolute f****** worse bank to ever deal with.
in the last story regardless of whether they gave me my money back or not I would damn sure hire a f--king lawyer and see about a lawsuit because they basically gave her the money without investigating or making sure the money was actually hers
The last story really does involve violations of banking practice standards at a federal level, and criminal violations committed by the bank personnel. I advise this person, who resides here in colorado, to contact an attorney about these matters. Since both the bank, and the person in Florida, contributed to the commit of bank fraud and unlawful possession of finances through a banking establishment.
I hope there's an an update to the bank story because I hope Op made a police report against the bank for not only giving the other woman all ops money without checking all the information and giving out the other woman's information
Last story CALL THE POLICE! If this person does something shady guess who they will be looking for. Technically the bank has linked you 2 together and you better unlink you and her. Your credit could take a dive, all kinds of things could now potentially become a problem for you and her.
Yeah......about that last story, under absolutely NO circumstances should you follow the banks request. 1; They (the bank), have compromised your info AND then gave you the other persons info(including your SS#'s) fairly shady, imho . 2; That bank is obviously having some issues, either an incompetent/overworked/shady employee, or a security breach. Both need some light shed on what has happened to prevent it happening again . 3; If for some bizzare reason the first two points don't seem enough reason to involve the police, the withdrawl amount means the feds have a record of this transaction. (I believe anything over 1k gets reported) If they (the bank) asked for a "no police" resolution, chances are the bank has done this before. If this is the case, that bank NEEDS to be investigated to find out WTF.
D e f i n i t e l y call the police and a lawyer on that bank! The person who did the first transaction should be fired. You have to make sure the addresses match before you do anything else with the transaction!
I have been involved in fraud and they most certainly should have called the police and filed a report against the bank. The have compromised both people and this could ruin them. Whatever happened to checking birthday and stuff to confirm identity? I don’t blame the woman honestly it is the banks fault.
Let me guess. The bank in question is Wells Fargo, right? More than likely the bank in Florida was once some other regional or national bank that Wells Fargo has acquired but is hasn't completely been integrated. They still fixing bugs from the acquisition of Wachovia, because Wachovia never fixed all it's own bugs from its acquisitions either.
I'm really confused about the insurance story. How the F does the insurance in any way be adjusted by another party other than the insurance holder? I could see them the company saying hey you lied to us (you didn't but whatever, they decided to believe some rando), we're cancelling our contract, but they should not be able to adjust the terms without your express approval. This not some petty little click through use contract, this is full insurance. Company can't just go changing terms willy-nilly, especially as it adjusts the pay schedule.
Wow that last one, you definitely need to open a fraud case against that bank and switch banks! They can’t seem to get anything correct. And they handle peoples money? That’s scary!
If the bank screws up something then that's totally on them they should be at fault and take responsibility. My mom used to give me crap about me cracking my knuckles as well but my dad told my mom to get over it. Also I had a teacher who cringe to the sound of knuckles cracking. Saint Bernard dogs will crap as they walk. My dad's ex girlfriend's daughter has a Saint Bernard dog named Benny and I've seen him crap and walk through the house or backyard.
Not licensed in your state so talk to your agent. You could have progressive exclude him as a driver for any reason you choose.They just have you sign a form
I had kinda the same thing happen but I was wrongly arrested for something someone with my same name in the same town did, twice!!!!! After I was fingerprinted and booking photo taken and I seen the commissioner I was let out, apologized to and taken home
Since when is someone allowed to call in insurance company and insist he be put on someone else’s insurance without that person’s knowledge? This sounds a whole lot like blatant fraud from the insurance company! I’d be calling the state’s attorney general. That’s not how insurance works.
My mom would also get on me about crackin my knuckles. I agree that once you start you have to continue: all three joints, wrists, elbow, shoulders, knees, ankles and toes. 😅😂
Story number 1, first mistake, buying a car from someone you don't know and not getting a clear title, second mistake, if it says "progressive" be it insurance company or political movement, stay the heck away. Last story, definitely inform the police, and run, don't walk, to a new bank.
Bank story - - Same name, but different account numbers!! Low-level clerks do this quite often. It's merely a so-so job to them, and they're bored doing it, so they don't make much of an effort to get all the information correct.
the knuckle cracking one... i tilted my head in a hospital waiting room and my neck cracked so loudly so many times the receptionist thought i broke my neck and had me dragged into the ER for Xrays on the spot lmao. i was in because i cut my foot open on an aluminum doorframe. and that last story? definatly file a report with the police and BBB... thats sencitive data they are handing out, and the lack of respect for being thoro and carefull with said infor has resulted in god knows how many breaches
The BBB is not a government organization and has no power to do anything. At most they might threaten to a lower a companies rating, but that's about as good as threatening to leave a bad Yelp review. And it's been alleged for years that the BBB simply takes money from large companies to make little problems like that go away.
Theres a lot of people who actually work as cleaners and at 18$ an hour here in Australia not to be sneezed at. Mind you no wonder the others have a language problem with her
My late husband and his cousin had the same first and last name. We had a few problems years ago with things getting mixed up. But at least it never cost us anything.
I and my late brother had the same first and last names, but different middle names: that's common in communities where your father's name goes first. However, our dentist in England thought we had the same name, because they followed the normal practice in health care of ignoring all middle names. That was common in businesses too, so if John Albert Smith bought a new bed and John Alfred Smith ordered a wardrobe, it was pure chance that determined which John Smith got what piece of furniture. When I went to see my uncle in hospital, I knew to expect problems because he had a hyphenated surname. The ward clerk looked on the hospital intranet and declared that they had no one of that name. Of course she was following the rule of only using the last part of a compound name. Fortunately, I expect people to be stupid, and know how to proceed.
@@faithlesshound5621 my mom went by her middle name. When I went to see her in the hospital once, they couldn't find her until I told them her first name.
If my insurance company told me that I had to provide proof that someone other than me who put himself on my policy did not live with me in order to remove him from my policy and correct my bill, I'd tell the agent to cancel my policy and give me a pro-rata refund. Then, I would demand to know who their agent is to accept service of process in my state. This is complete BS; only the contracting party has the right to put someone else on his policy.
@@bostonrailfan2427Now that you mention it, that's most likely. Still, I've seen people do the most idiotic things while convinced that their way was the only way. Depending on how experienced the agent was and how poorly he misunderstood training, adequate or inadequate, it's possible. In the words of Eindtein, "Intelligence has limits; stupidity has none."
yeah…that first story is complete bullshit. the adjuster happens to not take any information nor verify with the actual policy holder the change of living situations, the company has no records to back their claims of the guy loving there, and the adjuster just happens to be “away” or “out sick”? bullshit. complete bullshit.
Uh, that first story doesn't make sense. How did the weird Altima dude get the OP's insurance information in order to add themselves to that policy? OP say they were initially on the seller's insurance, and that they changed to their own shortly afterwards. I'd assume the seller kept the original insurance on the Altima, since the story didn't mention it being cancelled at any point. So how exactly did this play out? I'm being facetious, whoever the OP of this story was fucking sucks at telling a coherent story.
Cleaning Story: If I were OP, I'd have quietly and covertly taken pictures of the various rooms PACKED with stuff, Emailed them to Boss, then called and said "I just Emailed you a bunch of pics, when you look at them, you will understand my next statement...There is no way in HELL anyone is surface cleaning this place in less than 4 hours...a deep clean is an all-day job MINIMUM!!! Due to that and how Bat-Shit-Crazy the Client is, I categorically REFUSE to clean this Hoarder HELLhole!, Do you want me to return to the shop or just go to the next Job?" I suspect when the Boss opened the Email, the first thought that stampeded through their mind and exploded out of their mouth would be something along the lines of JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!!! 😄😁😆😅😂🤣
I typically do a laced figer crack. The kind where you lock your fingers together and push the palms out and away from you. Nothong like a good crack...
Story 1 is fishy. Nobody can make changes to your policy. Only the named insured or 2nd named insured. If your policy is thru an agent he can make changes.
The IRS once said that I owned a beach property, and I hadn't paid taxes on it. It was up to me to prove that I didn't own it. Negatives are hard to prove, but I did.
@@bostonrailfan2427 It's the truth. I can't go into detail about it without revealing personal details. To top off the nonsense, I was audited by the IRS THREE TIMES because the same mistake kept happening for three years in a row.
I once had a bank open a credit card with a high limit on my account for someone else with the same name. When I panicked and called them, they cancelled the card. I was appalled that they didn't look at address or any other identifying info before doing that. But even more messed up is that 30 mins later I get a call from someone asking for me by name and asking if I cancelled a credit card. "How did you get my number?" "The person from the bank gave it to me" What the fuuuuuck?! Not cool TD!
If you’re in the US may I recommend the local credit union instead? It’s not like they wouldn’t make the same screw up. It’s just that they won’t charge you for banking with them as they are non profit.
No, this really happened. Stressed me the fuck out for a few hours :P I thought my bank account had been hacked. No, just severe incompetence on the part of some Toronto Dominion employees.
Last story: OF COURSE OP should file a police report! And they should contact the Office of the Comptroller. That bank needs to be thoroughly investigated and people need to be held accountable!
But but but OP is a bitch lol 😂 he can’t do what should be done ✅ 😅haha agreed on it tho he should
agreed, and op need to get a new bank. i wouldent trust that bank with a peny!
When you are told, "Do not call the police," it might be time to consider calling the police. Or at the very least an attorney.
Absolutely! If the bank is WF then protect yourself with a police report.
Yes, time to not only open the police case, but to report them to the federal reserve for banking fraud. They want to avoid the investigation, that likely will result in a few of the bank managers and executives being barred from banking, and the massive fine that comes as well. And, as they were this lax, the investigation will likely uncover a few other cases as well, so even bigger fines, plus the attempts to cover up the whole thing as well.
I know uk/Europe they are looking at massive fines as a percentage of their profits or £20m whatever is higher and that is if they report it themselves if they don’t then it gets worse. Not sure about US penalties
Edit to add that is just because of the information given not including the money they handed over
Call a Lawyer, the Police AND the Government Regulators...
I would be suing the bank for compromising my financial security and giving the other person my information ( could lead to identity theft)and also for their fiduciary negligence in this matter! Banks give us hell when someone steals our identity, time to pay them back!
Last story OP absolutely needs to call the police & get an attorney ASAP!!!
Story 1, you can also report the Seller for Jumping Title as that is against the law in all 50 states.

I'm really confused about the insurance story. How the F does the insurance in any way be adjusted by another party other than the insurance holder? I could see them the company saying hey you lied to us (you didn't but whatever, they decided to believe some rando), we're cancelling our contract, but they should not be able to adjust the terms without your express approval. This not some petty little click through use contract, this is full insurance. Company can't just go changing terms willy-nilly, especially as it adjusts the pay schedule.
it never happened
I vote for a door. The exterior of the building would look muck better
For anyone that believes that first story, I have a lovely bridge in Brooklyn for sale at a great price.
the one with the walkways? 🤣
Wow that last one, you definitely need to open a fraud case against that bank and switch banks! They can’t seem to get anything correct. And they handle peoples money? That’s scary!
Whenever a bank is incompetent press charges, whenever a customer is incompetent they sic the police onto you
If the bank screws up something then that's totally on them they should be at fault and take responsibility. My mom used to give me crap about me cracking my knuckles as well but my dad told my mom to get over it. Also I had a teacher who cringe to the sound of knuckles cracking. Saint Bernard dogs will crap as they walk. My dad's ex girlfriend's daughter has a Saint Bernard dog named Benny and I've seen him crap and walk through the house or backyard.
Not licensed in your state so talk to your agent. You could have progressive exclude him as a driver for any reason you choose.They just have you sign a form
Welcome back
The bank story. The has to be some form of banking ombudsman or organisation that oversees banking behaviour in the States. Contact them
499👍's up RW thank you for sharing this
I had kinda the same thing happen but I was wrongly arrested for something someone with my same name in the same town did, twice!!!!! After I was fingerprinted and booking photo taken and I seen the commissioner I was let out, apologized to and taken home
Good afternoon all!!!
I heard that story about the knuckles in the 50 years.
You need to contact the State Banking commission. IMMEDIATELY!
Since when is someone allowed to call in insurance company and insist he be put on someone else’s insurance without that person’s knowledge? This sounds a whole lot like blatant fraud from the insurance company! I’d be calling the state’s attorney general. That’s not how insurance works.
Lol I crackle my knuckles all the time and it helps tighten my grip for me.
My mom would also get on me about crackin my knuckles. I agree that once you start you have to continue: all three joints, wrists, elbow, shoulders, knees, ankles and toes. 😅😂
James, great show as ever.
How come a bank can mistake one for another don’t they have good I’d checks
Story number 1, first mistake, buying a car from someone you don't know and not getting a clear title, second mistake, if it says "progressive" be it insurance company or political movement, stay the heck away. Last story, definitely inform the police, and run, don't walk, to a new bank.
Bank story - - Same name, but different account numbers!! Low-level clerks do this quite often. It's merely a so-so
job to them, and they're bored doing it, so they don't make much of an effort to get all the information correct.
Im confused. How did the bank in the last video encourage the thief to take the victim's money?
the knuckle cracking one... i tilted my head in a hospital waiting room and my neck cracked so loudly so many times the receptionist thought i broke my neck and had me dragged into the ER for Xrays on the spot lmao. i was in because i cut my foot open on an aluminum doorframe.
and that last story? definatly file a report with the police and BBB... thats sencitive data they are handing out, and the lack of respect for being thoro and carefull with said infor has resulted in god knows how many breaches
The BBB is not a government organization and has no power to do anything. At most they might threaten to a lower a companies rating, but that's about as good as threatening to leave a bad Yelp review. And it's been alleged for years that the BBB simply takes money from large companies to make little problems like that go away.
Theres a lot of people who actually work as cleaners and at 18$ an hour here in Australia not to be sneezed at.
Mind you no wonder the others have a language problem with her
My late husband and his cousin had the same first and last name. We had a few problems years ago with things getting mixed up.
But at least it never cost us anything.
I and my late brother had the same first and last names, but different middle names: that's common in communities where your father's name goes first. However, our dentist in England thought we had the same name, because they followed the normal practice in health care of ignoring all middle names.
That was common in businesses too, so if John Albert Smith bought a new bed and John Alfred Smith ordered a wardrobe, it was pure chance that determined which John Smith got what piece of furniture.
When I went to see my uncle in hospital, I knew to expect problems because he had a hyphenated surname. The ward clerk looked on the hospital intranet and declared that they had no one of that name. Of course she was following the rule of only using the last part of a compound name. Fortunately, I expect people to be stupid, and know how to proceed.
@@faithlesshound5621 my mom went by her middle name. When I went to see her in the hospital once, they couldn't find her until I told them her first name.
Last story: What is the name of the bank? LMAO.
Welcome to the RedWhell comment section. First and last stories have no resolutions.
Knuckle cracker can go outside and make those irritating noises. My house, my rules. Be hard to crack em if they’re dislocated!
If my insurance company told me that I had to provide proof that someone other than me who put himself on my policy did not live with me in order to remove him from my policy and correct my bill, I'd tell the agent to cancel my policy and give me a pro-rata refund. Then, I would demand to know who their agent is to accept service of process in my state. This is complete BS; only the contracting party has the right to put someone else on his policy.
it never happened, the writer made it up
@@bostonrailfan2427Now that you mention it, that's most likely. Still, I've seen people do the most idiotic things while convinced that their way was the only way. Depending on how experienced the agent was and how poorly he misunderstood training, adequate or inadequate, it's possible. In the words of Eindtein, "Intelligence has limits; stupidity has none."
yeah…that first story is complete bullshit. the adjuster happens to not take any information nor verify with the actual policy holder the change of living situations, the company has no records to back their claims of the guy loving there, and the adjuster just happens to be “away” or “out sick”?
bullshit. complete bullshit.
How do I submit a story?
Uh, that first story doesn't make sense. How did the weird Altima dude get the OP's insurance information in order to add themselves to that policy? OP say they were initially on the seller's insurance, and that they changed to their own shortly afterwards. I'd assume the seller kept the original insurance on the Altima, since the story didn't mention it being cancelled at any point. So how exactly did this play out? I'm being facetious, whoever the OP of this story was fucking sucks at telling a coherent story.
it never happened, the OP made it up
Cancel your insurance and go to a different company.
Cleaning Story: If I were OP, I'd have quietly and covertly taken pictures of the various rooms PACKED with stuff, Emailed them to Boss, then called and said "I just Emailed you a bunch of pics, when you look at them, you will understand my next statement...There is no way in HELL anyone is surface cleaning this place in less than 4 hours...a deep clean is an all-day job MINIMUM!!! Due to that and how Bat-Shit-Crazy the Client is, I categorically REFUSE to clean this Hoarder HELLhole!, Do you want me to return to the shop or just go to the next Job?"
I suspect when the Boss opened the Email, the first thought that stampeded through their mind and exploded out of their mouth would be something along the lines of JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!!!
😄😁😆😅😂🤣
I typically do a laced figer crack. The kind where you lock your fingers together and push the palms out and away from you.
Nothong like a good crack...
My grandma told me that my fingers would fall off if I did that a lot.
@@redwheel9848 ?
How do you show that someone "doesn't" live with you? Give a video tour of your house?
Last Story: i would DEFINITELY be calling the police............ On the Bank. The other Lady was a victim of Banker Stupidity
🔥🔥🔥🧙🏻♂
Story 1 is fishy. Nobody can make changes to your policy. Only the named insured or 2nd named insured. If your policy is thru an agent he can make changes.
The IRS once said that I owned a beach property, and I hadn't paid taxes on it. It was up to me to prove that I didn't own it. Negatives are hard to prove, but I did.
nice lie
@@bostonrailfan2427 It's the truth. I can't go into detail about it without revealing personal details. To top off the nonsense, I was audited by the IRS THREE TIMES because the same mistake kept happening for three years in a row.
@@mbyerly9680 IRS doesn’t deal with property taxes, you’re a liar
@@bostonrailfan2427 Rental property is income which the IRS taxes. This was a rental house.

On behalf of those who love comedy your views are seen as biased, may joy and humor fill you-the many who live off comedy
Lock you up
Let's give Jack Smith time to prosecute him, THEN lock up Trump! 😉

First story: No Progressive as car insurance, WAAAAAAAAYYYYY too “shady” an outfit!!!🤬🤬🤬🤬👿
I once had a bank open a credit card with a high limit on my account for someone else with the same name. When I panicked and called them, they cancelled the card. I was appalled that they didn't look at address or any other identifying info before doing that. But even more messed up is that 30 mins later I get a call from someone asking for me by name and asking if I cancelled a credit card. "How did you get my number?" "The person from the bank gave it to me" What the fuuuuuck?! Not cool TD!
If you’re in the US may I recommend the local credit union instead? It’s not like they wouldn’t make the same screw up. It’s just that they won’t charge you for banking with them as they are non profit.
nice lie, bro
seriously, that’s a blatant lie
No, this really happened. Stressed me the fuck out for a few hours :P I thought my bank account had been hacked. No, just severe incompetence on the part of some Toronto Dominion employees.
@@chrismurray5846 sure bro…just like the insurance company claim there’s no support, just your word.
you’re a liar
When the phrase “Please don’t call the police” is used. Call them, immediately. Especially if it’s a business… and get a lawyer.
