VENT!!!

First Step of Crisis: So FH paid our mortgage and accidentally put my bank account information instead of his, so when we took money out of my account and put it in his so he would have enough money it left my account poor. So here come $2400 out of my account which is not there!!!

Second Step of Crisis: FH calms me down we get up this morning and take the $2400 out of his account and bring it to my bank and put it in my account. One of the $100 bills was a counterfiet!!! We had just got the money from his bank!!!

Thrid Step of Crisis: FH and I bring the copy of check and paperwork from my bank to his bank and they tell us tough sh*t!!! They tell us that we have to wait till tax time to get our money back as a refund!! Are they kidding me!! They gave us the freakin bill!!! I'm so mad!!!

Fourth Step of Crisis: FH causes a scene in the bank by yelling to the people getting money to check their bills cause they could be counterfiet!! Kill me now!!!

OMG chica!
I am so sorry!!!!

WOW so many things!!!

how dare then to give u a bil like da!
WOW!!!!

I worked in a bank years ago. We didn't check when money came in except at night- which is silly because someone could have just deposited that 100. I mean we would look over bills but not do all the test on them. That is very rude of them not to refund you that 100. It's not like they are going to be hurting for giving you a good 100. Though the bank that you gave the 100 to they kept it right? They aren't suppose to give it back to you b/c they have to report it so maybe that is why?

aww sorry!!!!

yikes that horrible, I don't blame him for freaking out at them though. I would've been so pissed at them.

I don't blame him either I was just raised different than him. I was told to keep a smile on your face and just keep asking for what you need until you get it. I don't like when people cause scenes like that! I like to avoid confrontation at all costs!!!

I used to be a teller... I never checked all the bills coming in.

and unless they were blatantly obviously fake - I wouldn't try the counterfeit pen on it.

In 10 minutes time I could take in $5000-$15000 in hundreds and give out another $5000 in hundreds.. no way would I scrutinize each bill or we'd be there all day.

Technically once the bill leaves the tellers hand (at any bank) it is no longer the banks problem. Because who is to say the customer didn't switch out the bill for a fake after they left and then blame the bank thinking now they'll get a real bill. (it happens all the time).


When we would take in counterfeit bills. or someone would say 'is this real?' we would have to confiscate it and then send it off to the federal reserve. We would never see that bill again and the best we could do for the customer is give them a receipt so they can claim it on their taxes and claim it around tax time. Unfortunately it happens more often than people think.

I used to work at a bank the teller does check all large bills it is their responsibility (well they are supposed to)..If they take a counterfeit bill then their drawer will be short that amount of money at the end of the day. The rule is if the customers claims that the bill is fake and it is after they left the bank and returned with the money, the teller cannot take it back so the teller probably purposely gave you that money because then its your lost if you left without checking and not theirs.If that is the case its very messed up because no one expects to get bad money from a bank. I never ck my money when i get it
