I'm confused how it even happened. So the driver input $9,875.00 as the charge and she just paid it?

A great example of why I will never again do business with BofA. I learned my lesson in 1978. My daughter banks there now, despite my pleas to find some other bank.

Yeah, it looks like Bank of America did something really stupid. All their advertisements about their smart security measures to automatically flag suspicious credit card transactions and they miss something as obvious as this?

Decades ago I had just started a new job and was basically living hand to mouth. I got my first paycheck and it was drawn on Bank of America. I needed that money just for gas to get home, so I went into the BoA to cash the check. They wouldn’t do it unless I had a Bank of America checking account. Spent 15 minutes arguing with the manager about it. So I opened the account by depositing the check. It took 20 minutes of paperwork. They cleared 20% for cash and brought it over to me. The manager smiled and said “There, that wasn’t that bad…” I smiled and said “Not bad at all… Now who do I see about closing the account?” After they gave me my money, I smiled at the manager and said “There, that wasn’t that bad…” I have never stepped foot in a BoA since.

What happened?
“There, that wasn’t that bad…”
Perfect.

What made you choose to undergo that process at a BoA rather than going to another bank and try your luck there? Was BoA your only option at the time?
