ATM Skimming Victim

[Irvine Dream]

This Monday someone withdrew money from my checking account in Tusin Bof A. I immediately notified my bank. I had used my card to withdraw money on Saturday in BofA Irvine Market place branch so my card likely got skimmed at Irvine. I have also filed a police report. things however seems to be moving in a pace slower than I like and my account still had not been credited. I have already taken steps to limit ATM withdrawal and set up alerts. any body has similar experience and anything else I should do to get this resolved?

A couple of years ago I had $3,000 or so taken out of my checking account. Someone walked in to a BofA branch in Texas (live in OC) and took the money out in person. I called BofA and they froze my account, opened a new one and transferred the balance to the new account (this happened immediately). It took about 7-10 business days to get the money deposited back into my account. They had to review the footage at the branch location where the incident happened. I did not have to file a police report. I’m sure you will get your money back, just takes some time. They probably need to check the footage to see that it wasn’t you that withdrew the money. Although I don’t remember having to sign anything to confirm it wasn’t me in Texas, so not sure how they determined it wasn’t me - other than me telling them it wasn’t me.
