Bank of America $50 saving account promo SCAM!

Saturday

One of my buddies on the interweb contacted me and told me about this wonderous scheme that BoA pulled on him. He signed up for a $50 promo if he opened a savings account with an ATM card attached. To get this bonus you must deposit $125 into the account. He does this only to receive a letter 3 days later telling him that he’s “risky” and that they’re closing the account. Ok, he figures, and waits to receive a check in the mail refunding the $125 he deposited. My friend receives a check for $65 — they pocked his remaining $60 by claiming it covered the “research fee” used to conduct research on him being a shady character. The only thing shady about this guy is that he’s an immigrant (legal, of course!) with a green card and social security #! Dude has a decent FICO score and is in no way a true risk! What!!!! They stole $60 from my friend for a dubious research fee! I am calling shananigans on that — BoA meet my friend in small claims court!
