Subject: Bank of America...
Hi All,
I also checked with Snopes and this is true. What in the world are we, as a Country, doing?
ABSOLUTELY INFURIATING !!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRR
I actually did check Snopes, as linked at the end.
A conversation between a Customer and Bank of America.
Bank: This is the Bank of America, can I help you?
Customer : Yes, I want to cancel my account. I don't want to do business with you any longer.
Bank : Why?
Customer: You're giving credit to illegal immigrants and I don't think it's right. I'm taking my business elsewhere.
Bank : Well, Mr. Customer, we don't want to see you do that, but we can't stop you. I'll help you close the account. What is your account number?
Customer: (gives account number)
Bank: For security purposes and for your protection,can you please give me the last four digits of your social security number?
Customer: No.
Bank : Mr. Customer, I need to verify your information, but in order to help you, I'll need verification of who you are.
Customer: Why should I give you my social security number? The reason I'm closing my account is that your bank is issuing credit cards to illegal immigrants who don't have social security numbers. You are targeting that audience and want their business. Let's say I'm an illegal immigrant and you've given me a credit card. I have a question about it and call for assistance. You wouldn't be asking me for a Social Security number, would you?
Bank: No sir, I wouldn't.
Customer: Why not?
Bank: Because you would have pressed '2' to speak in Spanish. We don't ask for that information when calling in on the Spanish line.
that bring's up a funny topic... When I used to live in VA, there was a BOA right near my apartment... I went there once... and not a single advertisement was in english, all their little displays and everything were in spanish, and every teller was either bi-lingual or only spoke spanish... That is fucking BS... for one it's called Bank of AMERICA, 2, VA is in AMERICA, 3, our language in this country is English, learn it or leave, that simple.
But ya, that is a funny story and I am also soon leaving BOA as I can't stand the way they do their banking.
I am trying to talk my buddy into leaving BOA. He thinks he is actually making money with that keep the change program. I keep telling him he isnt, and that BOA is encourageing the sellout of America. As a a marine, this should have affected him, he didnt care about that. He also cant understand why his money in his debit account is missing money, the same amount of money that is in his savings account. Dumb People...
