On 11/6/09 I believed I was buying a tractor from Paul Svenson via eBay Business Equipment Purchase Protection Program and wire transferred sum of $8900 USD From USAA Federal Saving Bank into eBay agent account at Bank of America,
I offered to send all documentation verifying fraud and Bank of America would not accept and provided the name and phone of investigator named Peggy. I was advised by Mr. Jones that funds would not be posted until Monday and an immediate investigation would be launched prior to release of any funds. However, the supervisor of wireless services at Bank of America informed me that the funds had been transferred into the account, verified receipt of request for return of funds due to internet fraud, and provided name and phone of investigating person (all during business hours the same day the wire transfer took place--11/6/09). Also contacted Sheriff and filed report on 11/6/09 and tried to contact FBI and could get no assistance from any federal agency.
On 11/9/09 contacted Bank of America investigator, Peggy, at the phone number provided and was told that they would do investigation that day, 11/9/09, and that I should provide all evidence through my bank, USAA Federal Savings Bank, and she could say no more--she also denied being the investigator. Contacted my bank who tried to assist. I was notified that Bank of America had rejected request for recall that morning, 11/9/09, stating insufficient funds available. The Sheriff investigating officer contacted Bank of America investigator, Peggy, and she stated to him that I must go through my bank and would not assist further. I contacted Office of the Comptroller who has jurisdiction of national banks who provide phone number for CEO office at Bank of America.
I called and initially the girl was helpful and after investigating stated she could not help but did state that she was told that request for funds was not received until after closing on 11/6/09 which was not true. Bank of America knowingly allowed the release of funds even though a request for return of funds due to internet fraud was received during business hours the same day. Bank of America is now trying to cover up incidence and is unwilling to assist police in investigation. Bank of America has also allowed this person to set up fictitious accounts prior to this scam in violation of Patriot act. I am now out $8900 which is a lot of money to my family and Bank of America had the information to prevent this theft but took no action an is now trying to cover up the incidence.

Karl the dark side of our system is as you describe, but do think you are making it better, I think not. But if you want to see the real dark side move to Cuba or China and see how long before you starve. Good Luck

Many like you have come and gone and this country is still here, still the same, still free. You can attempt to tear it down all you like, tell people to withdraw all their investments while you rant about others causing the collapse of the stock market, you will accomplish nothing, lessons in futility.
No one takes you seriously. We will continue in the middle east because it is the thing to do. Our largest investment must and will be protected.
Keep spouting your anti-capitalistic propaganda, no one cares. I had a few minutes to waste before I return to my duties and just thought I'd drop you a note.
