  • Steve On Your Side found holes in a bank's investigation of a woman's $420 fraud claim. Here's what you should do if your bank denies you.

The article from 9News discusses a case where a woman named Jennifer attempted to withdraw $2,500 from her bank account at a Wells Fargo branch in Denver, only to find her account had been frozen due to a fraud claim she did not initiate. Despite her efforts to resolve the issue, including visiting the bank multiple times and providing identification, Wells Fargo denied her access to her funds, stating they were investigating a fraud claim.
