Wells Fargo Ghosts Grandma After Robbing Her Bank Account 😬💸 #NotMyCheck

by

An 83-year-old Wells Fargo customer, Billie Young, is currently dealing with what can only be described as a modern parable about banking trust. In August 2024, she wrote two checks-one for her car loan, one for her electric bill. Classic adulting, right? Except one of them vanished like a TikTok trend.

By September 6th, Young was busy sudoku-ing (key fact) when her utility company dropped a surprise cutoff notice. She called Wells Fargo, who advised: “Oh, that electric check didn’t clear. Too bad, pumpkin, we’re not refunding it.” So Young demanded a stop payment. Easy peasy, right? Except, spoiler: insert drumroll the car loan check later cleared and paid “Chuck E. Cheese, LLC” (not one of Young’s contacts).

“So now I’m upset at my car dealer,” Young reportedly told the bank, “because the money came out of my account.” Classic passive-aggressive tech support.

It took Young weeks to get a copy of the scam check-and let’s just say the “signature” looked more like a doodle approval from a grumpy toddler. She filed a fraud complaint in October. Wells Fargo responded, begrudgingly, in May 2025 with:

“The customer is responsible for reviewing their monthly account statements and letting us know within 30 days about any errors or unauthorized transactions…*” Ugh, I’ll just rant in the comments section. Meanwhile, Young’s account now sits with the dust of her trust and $14,952.

Wells Fargo is “re-evaluating”! Surprise! Billie, who’s now 76 years into unofficial banking fraud, has closed her account. Tragic. Obituary here: “Dear Diary, Day 31 of pretending this $14k isn’t missing.”
