Call the 800 numbers, and start pressing 0 - best I can offer for BOA.

You are down at GSU or Valdosta, right? When you graduate, and if you come back to Atlanta, Delta Community Credit Union. A branch at Sugerloaf, in the Kroger where you turn to go to Collins Hill. $5 minimum balance in savings. Free checking with interest with no balance minimum. Get cash out for free at Publix ATMs too.
 
Somehow I doubt anyone could "steal" that kind of money. It's almost certainly a data entry/computer glitch.

Doesn't make it better, but somehow I doubt someone is walking around with the better part of a million of the money you didn't have.
 
I've had BoA for years now and want to change, but it is such a damn hassle since I have so many automatic deposits and withdrawals for things that I would need to resetup.
 
lol, this happens with people with little to horrible credit. Pretty much you did something (bank transfer, or overdraft) and it got flagged. The -$88888888888888888 is BOA's way of making sure your broke ass doesn't try something fishy.
 
Holy crap. And this is why I only have $500 overdraft on my account. 😱 I'd get the police involved while you try to get ahold of the bank. Better safe then sorry. Did you use banking on a public computer recently? There's a new exploit now where public computers can easily be "man in the middle" attacked so even SSL is useless, if the administrator is crooked.
 
maybe just a quick check on their fraud detection system for new accounts?

really looks like nothing more than a simple computer glitch, or check. Remember the AMEX fiasco a few months back?

that, or some Chinese dissident on crack has gotten a hold of your info and is trying for the luckiest fraud attempts he can think of.
 
I heard of this happening before. There could have been someone using your credit card or whatever. BoA does the -800k automatically to flag your account and prevent it from being used.

Yup that was it!
Called their fraud department today it got flagged because they thought I was trying to launder money... Every thing is okay now
 
I don't understand it either... I transfered $10 in

The fraud department guy did say that I was listed as a account to watch because of the fact that I opened it over the internet...
