About 10 months ago i had to go to the hospital & as the paramedic rolled me out of my apartment I handed my keys to my neighbor who was my best friend at the time so she could lock up my apartment behind us. I later found out she went back into my apartment & took my debit card & my ID & some other things. Well she ended up taking $1,528.51 from me through fraudulent transactions. I know for a fact it was her. There were transactions from my account to her CashApp account numerous times. Over $600 in Temu orders from her Temu account sent to her address. Doordash orders from her account to her address. She put over $150 in credits on her laundry wash card that you have to have if you want to do laundry at our complex.So that laundry card is in her name & our complex has cameras everywhere so shes on camera using the laundry card kiosk and going into my apartment. Plus $ was withdrawn from ATMs that have cameras. Everyday she would go to the local corner store & buy something with my card & got cashback. I know that store has cameras too. Even the guy at the fraud dept at my debit card bank said my case was a "open shut case because she incriminated herself through the transactions". Yet the bank denied my fraudulent transactions because my card was used at the same places she used the card previously so it looks like I did them. Well, here is the kicker, I was in the hospital close to 2 months & couldn't leave without Drs permission. Im in a wheelchair & do not drive so it would have been impossible for me to do it. I submitted proof i was in the hospital too. And this woman texted me while i was in the hospital but admitted using my card one time on temu but didnt realize it was my card & she didnt know how my card got on her phone. But I submitted screenshots of the text messages along with multiple police & fraud reports I had to file. I appealed the denial only to have it denied again. I never was able to get my $ back & have since dropped that banking institution.
I had filed a police report & I was told my case wasn't a priority because it didn't involve violence or anything important enough to rush busting her. Is there still going to be an investigation even though the transactions were not found fraudulent? She needs to do time for this. Its grand theft plus I'm disabled so isn't that a extra penalty for doing that to a disabled person? And the $ was my Social Security benefits doesn't that make it a federal offense?
This whole thing has wrecked me. I cant trust no one now.The betrayal I feel is heartbreaking. and Im still financially suffering because of it.Now i fear shes going to get away with it. What do you think?
