Most will agree that we can tell there is fire when we see smoke. We see it coming and while we´re hoping for the best, we´re getting ready for the worst.
The prediction I made yesterday was along the same vein. I was hoping to be wrong, unfortunately, I was right.
In case you missed it, I wrote yesterday about the number of fraud victims to be on the rise as Americans are getting broke.
Ulises Garcia, I´m sad to say is now a statistic. He is a victim of financial fraud. One day after I wrote about this.
Who is Ulises Garcia? He is just an average fellow. I don´t know him and his fiancé personally. But I´m quite positive that they are both decent people who minded their own business. That is until they met their swindler, Wachovia Bank.
When withdrawing money at a Wachovia Bank branch, Mr. Garcia was given 10 counterfeit $100 bills. Now, the bank will not reimburse the money. However, it´s also been reported that in a separate incident, another person was reimbursed the $40 received in counterfeited money.
Possibly, the scam was done by a rogue employee. However, judging by the recent reported troubles of Wachovia, the apparent lack of customer care and the possibility of criminal employees, I know who I will not bank with.
