Washington Mutual Bank Bank aiding fraud with non-attorney ripoff Los Alamitos California
Washington Mutual Bank in Los Alamitos, 3502 Katella Ave., aids a non-licensed attorney to practice law inside their office with out charging rent per Phillip W. Harris. His associate James D. Lia is currently on two year probation for aiding the same non-attorney in fee splitting and aiding in the practice of a non-attorney.
Bank phones are used to notify them when client (s) arrive. Client (s) are advised to close current bank accounts and switch to Washington Mutual.
Some apparent fraud is Mr. Harris requests courtesy checks (credit card)on accounts to be bankrupted and demanding they be in two separate check.
This appears to be conspiracy on the surface.
Further, Mr. Harris is a ham operator WB6MYC and one could question is the ham system used for illegal purposes.
I have met in the bank offices with the above on three separate occasions.

I had no relations with the bank PRIOR to Mr. Phillip W. Harris.
He is an independant business man and uses bank
facility to practice law without a license.
There appears to be some credit card hanky panky on the part of law firm, not part of the bank.
Another post alerted the public on lax attitude of bank employees to protect consumers, such as money laundering and identity theft.
As Mr. Harris is ham operator, one would reasonably think it also could be used for less than honorable intent.
The reason for the post was to alert consumers to be careful when dealing with Washington Mutual Bank.

I can't make a bit of sense out of your posting. Who is the attorney, and who is the banker? What are they doing that is illegal? How do the credit card checks play into this?
Are you financing with Washington Mutual? If so, wouldn't you expect them to try and get you to move your other accounts there?
You never indicated what your relationship with the bank, or these people is.
And how in the world does ham radio enter into this?
