Interesting developments in the Wells Fargo fiasco.  This publication has relentlessly attempted to expose the Wells Fargo corporate management suite, former Kingsland Store Manager Lynn Massey, and current Kingsland Store Manager Amanda S. Wright for the criminals they truly are.  Have intentionally, deliberately, knowingly engaged in egregious deceptive trade practices.

Amusingly, Ms. Wright sent the following letter by certified mail.  Received Monday, 8-17-15.  Would you believe she was conveniently absent from the bank all week?  To avoid confrontation, Amanda?  More to come, but first her letter:

Kingsland Wells Fargo
939 RR 1431
Kingsland, TX 78639
PH: 325-388-3596

August 10, 2015

Buchanan Dam, TX 78609

Dear Mr. Chorney,

Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. has determined that it is no longer in the best interests of
the Bank to maintain its banking relationship with you or your business.  Your
account number's [redacted & redacted] will be closed effective 30
business days from the date of this letter.  Please use this 30 day period to
establish alternate banking arrangements with another financial institution.

A cashier's check will be issued for all remaining collected funds in the above
account on September 22, 2015 and will be mailed to your last address of
record.  Any uncollected funds will be forwarded upon collection.

If you have any questions, please contact me at the above number.

Sincerely,
 

Amanda Wright
Store Manager
Kingsland, TX

Her second in command, Service Manager Michael Ehrhardt, NMLSR ID 408607 was confronted the very same day the letter was received.  He was informed the effort to expose the Wells Fargo corporate management suite, as well as both Massey and Wright for engaging in criminal activity would continue unabated. Both in this publication and through emails to local business owners.

Furthermore, a complaint would be filed with the U.S. Attorney, fresh complaints would also be filed with other federal and state authorities.  Clearly, nothing will be done by any of these agencies.  They're all likely bought and paid for by Wells Fargo.  Corporate owned.  Also, the U.S. Attorney will be asked to investigate whether or not Wells Fargo has unduly influenced Liberty In Peril webhosts host-ed.me and twomini.com.

Both hosts for months have failed to answer all inquiries.  Could they have been bought off?  Don't know.  Certainly, suspect they may have been.  No one figuratively targeted by this publication has greater resources to do so.  No matter what, the effort to expose Wells Fargo and its criminal activity continues unabated.  Will continue until Wells Fargo admits culpability and makes this right.  No matter how many Liberty In Peril websites they successfully shut down.


Egregious Deceptive Trade Practices-Wells Fargo

8-24-15

Ms. Wright:

The following email was sent to Travis Millegan, D&T Services, Irrigation Installation & Repair, Landscaping And More.
It will also be posted in the next Liberty In Peril Newsletter August 31, 2015.  Both working websites.
Kindly be advised the status of your employment with Wells Fargo, that is your promotion
to branch manager despite egregious criminal deceptive trade practices, will be sent in
update to each and every member of the business community contacted earlier.
Continuing with Linda Moreau, Owner-Broker, RE/MAX Highland Lakes.

Since you are forcing closure of both accounts due to the fact I publicly accuse you
and your predecessor of criminal activity, why haven't your equally criminal corporate
masters not refunded the $20 check printing charge?  Regardless, criminal complaints
will be filed with the U.S. Attorney.  Renewed criminal complaints will also be filed with
other federal and state agencies.

The effort to inform local businesses of this criminal activity will continue unabated.
Until Wells Fargo admits culpability and makes this right.  No matter how many Liberty In
Peril websites Wells Fargo successfully shuts down.

For several months, Wells Fargo is now printing on its cash receipts the denomination of currency it gives customers.  Why?  A teller informed this writer it's for the convenience of those doing business with the bank.  That people supposedly like to be reminded of what the bank gave them.  Is that right?  Does the bank truly believe people are that stupid?  That inept, that incompetent not to know what they got in cash?

Not accusing the teller of lying, however.  Clearly, believe she only regurgitated what her corporate masters told her.  She assured me the bank is not collecting that data.  Forwarding it to its government lackeys.  Believe that?  Credible coming from a bank too big to fail, that considers itself the government?  That's already engaged in egregious deceptive trade practices in the Kingsland and Burnet branches?  Allegations it has never denied to date.  In fact, 'justifies.'

That is, Wells Fargo officers open accounts deceptively.  The electronic document signed is not the same as the written copy.  Criminal activity the bank refuses to address.  In fact, promoted criminal officer Amanda Wright to branch manager.  After allowing her mentor, Lynn Massey, to retire.  Indeed, a reward for this young woman's knowingly criminal behavior at behest of her equally criminal corporate masters.

Indeed, a bank too big to fail.  Can only wonder what the reaction of the U.S. Attorney will be.  Think they'll stonewall as the former Texas Attorney General and federal Consumer Financial 'Protection' Bureau?  To say nothing of our useless District Attorney "Sonny Boy" McAfee.

Reverse Darwinism is alive and well at Wells Fargo.  Not only survival of the unfittest, however.  No, no, no.  Not at all.  Knowingly engage in criminal deceptive trade practices?  Tow the company line?  Look the other way?  Willingly play the game?  Then stonewall to the best of your ability, -- and guess what?  The Wells Fargo corporate management suite promptly rewards such criminal behavior with a promotion to branch manager.  How 'bout 'dat?'

One of her tellers recently confirmed the young woman who had in fact engaged in deceptive trade practices while opening two accounts as repeatedly reported in this publication has indeed been promoted.  Rewarded for criminal behavior.  More importantly?  Loyalty to her corporate masters.  After all, the corrupt, abusive, inept bastards in the Wells Fargo corporate management suite had to replace the old battle wagon who had managed the Kingsland Branch, had been employed by the corporation for what, -- some 25 years?

Apparently, Ms. Massey had had enough of the determined continued tireless effort of this publication to expose her and her young protégé Amanda Wright to the light of day.  For knowing, determined egregious execution of criminal deceptive trade practices.  Clearly, both had done the will of their corporate masters.  Otherwise, both would have been immediately fired.  Guilt quickly admitted by the corporate management suite.

An effort to make it right.  Not to be.  Clearly, the deceptive trade practices problem remains an issue nationwide.  Readers are reminded of the criminal activities of Wells Fargo in California and the subsequent suit filed by government authorities there.  Nothing has changed here.   Consequently, the effort to expose Wells Fargo to the community for what it is continues indefinitely.  Will be stepped up.

The nearly 40 emails already sent around the business community will be updated one by one.  As to the fact, the old battle wagon was allowed to retire, and the young achingly inexperienced officer responsible for egregious deceptive trade practices promoted.  This information will be added as well to the weekly email sent to the business community.  Again, those already contacted will receive an update.

The public must be aware of how this corrupt, abusive, Aryan arrogant, hopelessly inept corporation does business.  As it pleases.  With impunity.  Clearly, too big to fail or be challenged by its bought and paid for lackeys in government.  Regulation?  What's that?  The arrogant nazis in the Wells Fargo corporate management suite "don't need no stinkin' regulation."  Are free to do as they please.  Protected at the very least by the Texas Attorney General as well as the federal Consumer Financial 'Protection' Bureau.  Let's see if the U.S. Attorney obliges, that is, completes the trifecta.

Should the corporate management suite sue, all discovery received would be immediately posted in this publication no matter the personal cost, legal or otherwise.  These criminal bastards will continue to be exposed for whom and what they are.  Have nothing to lose.  They do.  They believe they are the government.  The former branch manager certainly claimed such.  Let's see.

Quite possibly, in effect, they are.  Think about it.  They've bought and paid for the government lackeys supposed to 'regulate' them, forget?  Sadly, it's not just a matter of dumping this goddamned bank.  They're all the same.  Do as they please.  With impunity.  Protected by the goddamned government stooges securely in their pocket.  Indeed, bought and paid for.  This has to change.  Otherwise?  Hear the rumble?  The public has had enough.

The State of Texas has refused to investigate this case.  The former Attorney General, now Governor, ignored repeated calls for a criminal investigation.  May have been bought and paid for by the bank.  That remains to be seen.  The federal Consumer Financial 'Protection' Bureau also refused to conduct a criminal investigation.  Clearly, Republican fascists were successful in gutting this supposedly 'watch dog' federal agency.

A criminal complaint will be filed against the former manager, the current manager, as well as the Wells Fargo corporate management suite with the U.S. Attorney for perpetrating and executing egregious deceptive trade practices.  Should nothing change, the effort of this publication to expose Wells Fargo for whom and what it is will continue indefinitely.  No matter the personal cost.  No threat.  A promise.

Wells Fargo has been sued in California for what amounts to egregious deceptive trade practices.  Employees have been allegedly involved in criminal acts such as opening phony accounts in the name of customers, forcing accounts they did not want, could not afford to pay fees on thus ruining credit ratings of innocent people.  Much more to come as this story develops.

Closer to home, Wells Fargo has blocked Inbox.com mail, including that from this writer.  Interesting, isn't it?  Twice received Daemon Mailers from mail sent to Wells Fargo officer Amanda Wright in the Kingsland branch in regard to deceptive trade practices perpetrated by her and former branch manager Lynne Massey.  Seems the old battle wagon retired rather than put up with continuing efforts by this writer to hold both, as well as their employer, accountable.

Will continue to do so.  Each week yet another email informing local businesses will be sent out by this publication until Wells Fargo admits guilt, makes it right.  Since neither the Texas Attorney General or the federal Consumer Financial 'Protection' Bureau are willing to take action, a complaint will eventually be sent to the U.S. Attorney.


2-9-15

As usual, the weekly Wells Fargo Deceptive Trade Practices Salvo email went out on schedule.  This time to a Washington Post reporter.  Can be found by clicking on the Salvo 23 icon well below.  A copy was forwarded to Amanda Wright.  The one to Lynn Massey was returned mailer-daemon:  "<masseylm@wellsfargo.com>: 550 5.1.1 <masseylm@wellsfargo.com>... User unknown."

Usually, this means one of two things. Either the person left the company or changed email addresses the corporation does not want disclosed.  No assumptions can be made either way here since Wells Fargo cannot be trusted.  Has foolishly, stupidly forfeited all credibility.  Has criminally engaged in deceptive trade practices.

Matters not whether one or both principals leave the Bank, anyway.  The Wells Fargo corporate management suite has consistently refused to take responsibility for the Bank's criminal activity.  Has not changed its policies.  Continues to stonewall.  Has offered no restitution for egregious invasion of my privacy as well as that of others.

Nor has it provided restitution for countless hours expended by this writer exposing the Bank's criminal activity to the light of day.  Unless and until this changes, the effort to expose Wells Fargo to the community continues.  Indefinitely.  Since the State of Texas ignored, refused to investigate the charges and the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau did the same, a new complaint will be prepared and filed with the U.S. Attorney.

Eventually, all Bank and government correspondence will be posted in this publication for public review.  No matter what, no matter how this is finally resolved or not, anything and everything that's already been posted will remain up for continuing public review.  The public deserves no less.  This will not be swept under the carpet under any circumstances.

The longer this fiasco continues, the costlier it becomes for Wells Fargo in terms of lost credibility and public confidence.  The Bank simply cannot grasp the fact nothing motivates this writer more than stonewalling.  ... Other than egregious injustice no matter its source.

After all these years, by now, this should be abundantly clear to the readership:  This writer is not for sale.  Incapable of being bought and paid for.  Impossible to bribe.  'Untouchable.'

It is difficult to believe, inexplicable, the egregious deceptive trade practices criminal activity perpetrated is confined to the Kingsland branch alone.  It is likely a Bank-wide problem.  Likely why Wright and Massey were not immediately fired by the corporate management suite.  Why top management did not immediately offer restitution to quickly resolve the issue.  Wisely, limit damage, loss of credibility, public image, trust, etc..  Instead, they haughtily 'justified' it.

Without question, deceptive trade practices were a problem some 15, 16 years ago in the Burnet Wells Fargo branch as well.  It was there the officer who opened the original checking account, closed several years ago due to corporate greed, filled in the blanks with false data I had refused to give her at the time the account was opened.  ... Apparently, after I had left the bank.  Possibly, while I was still there.  Not clear.  Not certain what their electronic capabilities were at the time all those years ago.

Management is not stupid.  Simply Aryan arrogantly does as it pleases.  Up to this point, with impunity.  That must change.  Now.  If the U.S. Attorney chooses to investigate despite the fact the Bank's supposedly too big to fail, -- and finds the corporate management suite knew what was going on, heads will roll.

Although highly unlikely in Nazi America, top level management may even enjoy a short stay at a federal 'country club.'  Up to this point, these arrogant sons of bitches have done as they pleased.  Accountable to no one.  As Massey haughtily falsely declared, "The Bank is the government."  Protected.  Coddled.  Clearly, likely lining pockets of those entrusted to regulate it.  Otherwise, she would not have made the statement.

Yet, bought and paid for GOP nazis want absolutely no regulation at all of their corpulent corporate benefactors.  Clearly, they want these corrupt abusive corporate bastards, who already literally own and manipulate the supposedly "'free' market," to be completely free to do as they please with absolute impunity.  Readers, they have been bought.  Sold you out to line their bottomless pockets.  The Democrats are no better.  They've done the same.

Most telling of all?  Not once has the Bank in the last two-plus years since this fiasco came to a head strongly denied point by point, vigorously challenged the veracity of extremely detailed charges made by this writer in the original snail mail complaint to the former Texas Attorney General and the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

The fact neither the State of Texas or the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigated such detailed malfeasance begs the question:  Who got paid off, by whom, for what?  While no one may be ultimately prosecuted, held accountable, this publication will continue to do all it can to expose Wells Fargo for whom and what it is.



 

        Wells Fargo Deceptive Trade Practices Salvo 69

This is the 69th installment of an ongoing expose of egregious Wells Fargo deceptive trade practices.  In an effort to maintain pressure not only on our worthless self-serving Texas Attorney General now Governor, but the Wells Fargo corporate management suite as well, the second email below was sent to the Bob Matthews, Tow Valley Flotation, Encapsulated Foam Dock Floats.  Regarding Abbot's egregious failure to not only investigate deceptive trade practices perpetrated by Wells Fargo, but to answer the snail mailed complaint itself.  The message was also sent to offending Wells Fargo officer Amanda Wright.  A copy of which follows.  But first, the following email was also sent to Connie Swinney, Reporter, The Picayune and DailyTrib.com in update:

Dear Mr. Swinney:

As you may recall, the following message was sent to you last spring regarding egregious deceptive
trade practices perpetrated by Wells Fargo:

"Your readers need to be aware the Attorney General has ignored the following snail mailed
complaint filed against Wells Fargo about a year ago.  Intending to apply additional pressure, the
complaint was then emailed to his office 9-15-14.

Whatever the reason, the long-suffering public has a right to know. Will continue to do the best I can to
inform them in my publication.

"Feel free to share this message and/or links. The public, indeed, must be informed."

In update to the above, kindly be informed of the following:

Reverse Darwinism is alive and well at Wells Fargo.  Not only survival of the unfittest, however.  No, no, no.  Not at all.  Knowingly engage in criminal deceptive trade practices?  Tow the company line?  Look the other way?  Willingly play the game?  Then stonewall to the best of your ability, -- and guess what?  The corporate management suite promptly rewards such criminal behavior with a promotion to branch manager.  How 'bout 'dat?'

The bank forced closure of two accounts 9-22-15 for no reason other than it was not in their best interests to keep them open.  Immediately after closure, ftp servers on three Liberty In Peril sites were hacked.  While the sites remain up and running, I cannot upload them with new material.  The webhosts remain unresponsive, have apparently been bribed.  A new commercial site overseas is in the process of being set up.

Dear Mr. Matthews:

The entire business community needs to be fully aware the Texas Attorney General, now Texas Governor,
has ignored the following snail mailed complaint filed against Wells Fargo over a year ago.  Intending
to apply additional pressure, the complaint was then emailed to his office 9-15-14.

the long-suffering public has a right to know. Will continue to do the best I can to inform them in my publication.

In follow-up to the above, the former branch manager, Lynn Massey has cowardly chosen to retire.  Her protégé, the offending officer who willingly engaged in deceptive trade practices at behest of her corporate masters has indeed been rewarded for that criminal activity and her company loyalty.  Amanda Wright has been promoted to branch manager by her corporate handlers.  Indeed, reverse Darwinism.  Survival of the unfittest.

For several months, Wells Fargo is now printing on its cash receipts the denomination of currency it gives customers.

Mr. Attorney General:

Can you explain why your office has failed to respond to the following snail-mailed
complaint against Wells Fargo?  Are they indeed too big to fail?  Or, are they possibly
lining your pockets?  Is the Davis campaign aware you don't investigate bona fide
complaints filed by citizens you allegedly serve?

Greg Abbott, Texas Attorney General
Consumer Protection Division
PO Box 12548
Austin, TX 78711-2548

September 20, 2013

Re:  Egregious Deceptive Trade Practices-Wells Fargo

Dear Mr. Abbott:

On January 18, 2013, this writer attempted to open a checking account with Wells Fargo,
MAC T7025-010, Kingsland, Texas.  While this account as well as a savings account
additionally required by bank policy were opened, it was clearly done under false
pretenses by Amanda Wright, Personal Banker, NMLSR ID: 936717.  Under supervision of Lynn
Massey, Store Manager, NMLSR ID: 555274.

Before providing complete details, this complaint was delayed due to severe out of state
family problems initially requiring re-opening of a checking account with Wells Fargo,
personal health issues, and relaunch of an investigative publication that was immediately
hacked upon relaunch months ago.

On January 18, this writer approached Ms Wright with a substantial United States Treasury
Check and the need to re-open a checking account.  – Closed several years earlier when the
bank greedily changed policy and attempted to charge an enormous monthly service charge on
a free checking account that had been open since 1999.  … Charge customers for using their
money.

Ms. Wright insisted, to obtain free checking, substantial deposits would have to remain in
not only a checking account, but a savings account as well.  In addition, this writer
would be required to participate in online banking.  – Bank policy, she falsely claimed.
The following is a detailed listing of the deceptive trade practices perpetrated by Wells
Fargo:

1)The Consumer Account Application she showed me on a computer monitor, and had this
writer electronically sign, was not the same as the written hard-copy subsequently
provided.  Realized that on the way home and immediately returned to the bank.  The
electronic display did not include the following bank policy:  “You are authorized to make
any inquiries that you consider appropriate to determine if you should open or maintain
the account. This may include ordering a credit report or other report (i.e. information
from any motor vehicle department or other state agency) on me.”

In bold font, it continues: “I have received a copy of the applicable account agreement,
the privacy policy, and the Direct Deposit Advance Service Agreement and Product Guide*
(as each may be amended from time to time) and agree to be bound by their terms. I also
agree to the terms of the dispute resolution program described in the foregoing
agreements. Under the dispute resolution program, our disputes will be decided before one
or more neutral persons in an arbitration proceeding and not by a jury trial or a trial
before a judge.”

Had I been informed of these policies, would never had electronically signed the
agreement.  Never would have agreed to a credit check to open a checking or savings
account.  What for?  Had no intention of borrowing money, just depositing a rather sizable
amount.  Never bounced a check. Never gave Wells Fargo any problems, – until now with this
complaint.  Never would have willingly forfeited the constitutional right to go to court
to resolve a dispute and foolishly agree to binding arbitration.  … Which is nearly always
controlled, manipulated by these exceptionally poorly-regulated corporations that usually
do precisely as they please.  When confronted, Ms. Wright falsely feigned ignorance.  Had
a 'deer in the headlights' facial expression.  Had no explanation.

Demanded to talk to the Store Manager.  Ms. Massey informed me the bank was the
government, they could do as they please.  Quickly informed her the bank was not the
government, only FDIC insured.  Remains an accurate measure of the Aryan arrogance of
Wells Fargo corporate management, however.  Quickly informed her I would sue should my
privacy be abrogated by a credit or records check.

She offered to cancel both accounts.  Refused.  Had already disclosed personal information
this writer could not recover from this outrageously corrupt and abusive corporation.
Information it would share with anyone it pleased with impunity,  Information it could and
would not protect.  Leading to the next example of egregious deceptive trade practices:

2)When Ms. Wright opened the new accounts, she was immediately able to access all personal
information on the old checking account that had been opened in 1999 and closed several
years ago as earlier stated.  I pointedly asked her what my personal information was still
doing on a Wells Fargo computer network accessible all over the country, as well as the
rest of the world.  Anyone could have obtained that information or hacked the system.  She
had no response.  Neither did the Store Manager.

The account had long since been closed.  That information belongs to me, not the bank.  I
never signed any agreement with Wells Fargo forfeiting my right to my own personal
information.  Yet, there it was.  Worse, it included false information that I had never
given the bank.  Refused to give Wells Fargo when the account was originally opened in
1999.  For damned good reason.  Was none of their business, or the government's.

Clearly, the deceptive officer who opened the account years ago made up false information.
Outrageously, filled in the blanks after I left the bank.  Ms. Wright desperately tried to
elicit correct information that I quickly refused to give her.  As a law-abiding citizen,
it's none of the bank's business, none of the government's business.  “Know Your Customer”
policy is an outrageous invasion of personal privacy of innocent citizens, falsely in the
name of “national 'security.'”  Rather it is implementation of a fascist police-state this
writer will never accept, never cooperate with.  The hell with the treasonous, traitorous
USA 'Patriot' Act.

Having received a written bogus policy follow-up from Wells Fargo Legal from Ms. Massey,
she again offered to close the accounts.  I refused and informed her complaints would be
filed against the bank with state and federal authorities.

She subsequently changed the requirements for maintaining a 'free' checking and savings
account.  Interesting, isn't it?  Lowered the minimums required.  Did away with the online
banking requirement.  – The online agreement forced on account holders is worse than the
written one.  More repressive.  More invasive.  She wanted me to re-electronically sign
the agreement.  Refused, since it would have abrogated my right to sue if my privacy is,
or was, invaded or Wells Fargo engages in any further deceptive trade practices.

Without question, Ms. Wright is a brilliant, young, gifted woman.  Who likely knowingly
capitulated to pressure brought to bear by her corporate masters to engage in
self-serving, lucrative deceptive trade practices.  As low woman on the totem pole, she
possibly believed she had no choice.  Conversely, as a seasoned banking veteran, Ms.
Massey has no excuse.  Until rampant deceptive trade practices are effectively addressed
by authorities, there will be no faith or trust in the hopelessly greedy, abusive,
corrupt, arrogant banking community.  Precisely why an increasing number eschew business
with them, – unless forced by personal circumstances.

Should an ordinary Joe or Jane engage in such deceptive practices as the banking industry,
they are rightfully quickly indicted for fraud or worse.  Not so, the banking community.
Rather, it's protected and coddled by authorities. Too big to fail.  This has to change.

For your information, every other bank canvassed in this area is as bad or worse than
Wells Fargo regarding policy.  None are effectively regulated.  None.  Not one of them.
All do as they please.  With virtual impunity.  Convenient isn't it?  Are all in bed with
their 'regulators?'  Certainly, seems so.  Whose money, personal information do they truly
think it belongs to?  Them?  Arrogance, hubris?  Unlimited, endless.  National socialist.

Coup de grace?  A most poignant example of abject corporate cluelessness?  By a corporate
management suite that clearly doesn't 'get it?'  The following outrageously galling phony
propaganda printed on the monthly statement:  “Thank you for being a loyal Wells Fargo
customer.  We value your trust in our company and look forward to continuing to serve you
with your financial needs.”  Is that right?

Who the hell are they kidding?  They're delusional.  They betray their customers,
callously invade privacy, falsely believe they own account holder personal information,
share private information with whomever they choose as long as their pockets are lined,
pay pennies in interest for thousands deposited, release financial information to
government goons without a warrant.

How?  Courtesy of National Security Letters that are outrageously unconstitutional despite
rulings to the contrary by the fascists legislating their perverse ideological views from
the bench in support of their corporate masters.  Insult to injury?  These very same
bankers and others are forced by the very same dictators in government not to disclose to
account holders that they've been betrayed not only by our outrageously corrupt and
abusive government, but the corporate management suite that cowardly complies.  Yet, this
very same corporate management suite gallingly and falsely believes they're 'serving'
account holders.  How?  By betraying the best interests of their customers?  They serve
only themselves,  'Regulators' aid and abet.  A fascist police-state.

While customer service truly stinks, remains non-existent at Wells Fargo, it's as bad or
worse elsewhere.  Precisely, why the banking cartel does as it pleases.  Why?  Because it
can.  If an account weren't needed for legal reasons currently, this bank would be
promptly dumped.

Why is it a United States Treasury Check cannot be cashed at any FDIC-insured bank with
identification without a substantial charge, -- or at all?  That is, some of these
federally-insured banks will not cash these checks.  Why?  One wanted to loot this writer
approximately $300 for the 'privilege' of cashing a check from the government insuring it.
Hubris.  Unbridled greed.  Aryan arrogance.

Upon resolution of these issues by state and federal authorities, kindly be advised
Liberty In Peril will post an expose' on the banking industry and the government's
egregious failure to date to properly regulate it.  Worse?  Failure to correct the abuses,
corruption, deception, and outright fraud repeatedly committed by these banks.  This
letter and all correspondence from you and your agency will be ultimately posted in my
publication.  Redacted as necessary.

Sincerely,

Egregious Deceptive Trade Practices-Wells Fargo

10-20-15

Ms. Wright:

The following email was sent to Bob Matthews,Tow Valley Flotation, Encapsulated Foam Dock Floats.
It will also be posted in this publication. Kindly be advised the status of your employment with Wells Fargo,
that is your promotion to branch manager despite egregious criminal deceptive trade practices, will be sent
in update to each and every member of the business community contacted earlier. Continuing with Connie
Swinney, Reporter, The Picayune and DailyTrib.com.

Since you have forced closure of both accounts 9-22-15 due to the fact I publicly accuse you
and your predecessor of criminal activity, why haven't your equally criminal corporate
masters not refunded the $20 check printing charge?  Also, why were three Liberty In Peril
ftp servers immediately hacked at that time?  Why do the webhosts remain unresponsive.
Have they been bribed by the Wells Fargo corporate management suite?  Regardless, criminal complaints
will be filed with the U.S. Attorney.  Renewed criminal complaints will also be filed with
other federal and state agencies.

The effort to inform local businesses of this criminal activity will continue unabated.
Until Wells Fargo admits culpability and makes this right.  No matter how many Liberty In
Peril websites Wells Fargo successfully shuts down.

Be advised a commercial site will be set up overseas in a country that protects its servers
and does not take kindly to bribery or hacking.  In fact, it is now in the process of being set up and will
be uploaded shortly.

Egregious Deceptive Trade Practices-Wells Fargo
Bob Matthews,Tow Valley Flotation, Encapsulated Foam Dock Floats

Dear Mr. Matthews:

The entire business community needs to be fully aware the Texas Attorney General, now Texas Governor,
has ignored the following snail mailed complaint filed against Wells Fargo over a year ago.  Intending
to apply additional pressure, the complaint was then emailed to his office 9-15-14.

Apparently, the bank's too big to fail, -- or possibly his pockets are being lined. Whatever the reason,
the long-suffering public has a right to know. Will continue to do the best I can to inform them in my publication.
Feel free to share this message and/or links. The public, indeed, must be informed.

In follow-up to the above, the former branch manager, Lynn Massey has cowardly chosen to retire.  Her protégé, the offending officer who willingly engaged in deceptive trade practices at behest of her corporate masters has indeed been rewarded for that criminal activity and her company loyalty.  Amanda Wright has been promoted to branch manager by her corporate handlers.  Indeed, reverse Darwinism.  Survival of the unfittest.

For several months, Wells Fargo is now printing on its cash receipts the denomination of currency it gives customers. Why?  A teller informed this writer it's for the convenience of those doing business with the bank.  That people supposedly like to be reminded of what the bank gave them.  Is that right?  Does the bank truly believe people are that stupid?  That inept, that incompetent not to know what they got in cash?

Not accusing the teller of lying, however.  Clearly, believe she only regurgitated what her corporate masters told her.  She assured me the bank is not collecting that data.  Forwarding it to its government lackeys.  Believe that?  Credible coming from a bank too big to fail, that considers itself the government?  That's already engaged in egregious deceptive trade practices in the Kingsland and Burnet branches?  Allegations it has never denied to date.  In fact, 'justifies.'

That is, Wells Fargo officers open accounts deceptively.  The electronic document signed is not the same as the written copy.  Criminal activity the bank refuses to address.  In fact, promoted criminal officer Amanda Wright to branch manager.  After allowing her mentor, Lynn Massey, to retire.  Indeed, a reward for this young woman's knowingly criminal behavior at behest of her equally criminal corporate masters.

Indeed, a bank too big to fail.  Can only wonder what the reaction of the U.S. Attorney will be.  Think they'll stonewall as the former Texas Attorney General and federal Consumer Financial 'Protection' Bureau?  To say nothing of our useless District Attorney "Sonny Boy" McAfee.

The bank forced closure of two accounts 9-22-15 for no reason other than it was not in their best interests to keep them open.  Immediately after closure, ftp servers on three Liberty In Peril sites were hacked.  While the sites remain up and running, I cannot upload them with new material.  The webhosts remain unresponsive, have apparently been bribed.  A new commercial site overseas is in the process of being set up.

Mr. Attorney General:

Can you explain why your office has failed to respond to the following snail-mailed
complaint against Wells Fargo?  Are they indeed too big to fail?  Or, are they possibly
lining your pockets?  Is the Davis campaign aware you don't investigate bona fide
complaints filed by citizens you allegedly serve?

Greg Abbott, Texas Attorney General
Consumer Protection Division
PO Box 12548
Austin, TX 78711-2548

September 20, 2013

Re:  Egregious Deceptive Trade Practices-Wells Fargo

Dear Mr. Abbott:

On January 18, 2013, this writer attempted to open a checking account with Wells Fargo,
MAC T7025-010, Kingsland, Texas.  While this account as well as a savings account
additionally required by bank policy were opened, it was clearly done under false
pretenses by Amanda Wright, Personal Banker, NMLSR ID: 936717.  Under supervision of Lynn
Massey, Store Manager, NMLSR ID: 555274.

Before providing complete details, this complaint was delayed due to severe out of state
family problems initially requiring re-opening of a checking account with Wells Fargo,
personal health issues, and relaunch of an investigative publication that was immediately
hacked upon relaunch months ago.

On January 18, this writer approached Ms Wright with a substantial United States Treasury
Check and the need to re-open a checking account.  – Closed several years earlier when the
bank greedily changed policy and attempted to charge an enormous monthly service charge on
a free checking account that had been open since 1999.  … Charge customers for using their
money.

Ms. Wright insisted, to obtain free checking, substantial deposits would have to remain in
not only a checking account, but a savings account as well.  In addition, this writer
would be required to participate in online banking.  – Bank policy, she falsely claimed.
The following is a detailed listing of the deceptive trade practices perpetrated by Wells
Fargo:

1)The Consumer Account Application she showed me on a computer monitor, and had this
writer electronically sign, was not the same as the written hard-copy subsequently
provided.  Realized that on the way home and immediately returned to the bank.  The
electronic display did not include the following bank policy:  “You are authorized to make
any inquiries that you consider appropriate to determine if you should open or maintain
the account. This may include ordering a credit report or other report (i.e. information
from any motor vehicle department or other state agency) on me.”

In bold font, it continues: “I have received a copy of the applicable account agreement,
the privacy policy, and the Direct Deposit Advance Service Agreement and Product Guide*
(as each may be amended from time to time) and agree to be bound by their terms. I also
agree to the terms of the dispute resolution program described in the foregoing
agreements. Under the dispute resolution program, our disputes will be decided before one
or more neutral persons in an arbitration proceeding and not by a jury trial or a trial
before a judge.”

Had I been informed of these policies, would never had electronically signed the
agreement.  Never would have agreed to a credit check to open a checking or savings
account.  What for?  Had no intention of borrowing money, just depositing a rather sizable
amount.  Never bounced a check. Never gave Wells Fargo any problems, – until now with this
complaint.  Never would have willingly forfeited the constitutional right to go to court
to resolve a dispute and foolishly agree to binding arbitration.  … Which is nearly always
controlled, manipulated by these exceptionally poorly-regulated corporations that usually
do precisely as they please.  When confronted, Ms. Wright falsely feigned ignorance.  Had
a 'deer in the headlights' facial expression.  Had no explanation.

Demanded to talk to the Store Manager.  Ms. Massey informed me the bank was the
government, they could do as they please.  Quickly informed her the bank was not the
government, only FDIC insured.  Remains an accurate measure of the Aryan arrogance of
Wells Fargo corporate management, however.  Quickly informed her I would sue should my
privacy be abrogated by a credit or records check.

She offered to cancel both accounts.  Refused.  Had already disclosed personal information
this writer could not recover from this outrageously corrupt and abusive corporation.
Information it would share with anyone it pleased with impunity,  Information it could and
would not protect.  Leading to the next example of egregious deceptive trade practices:

2)When Ms. Wright opened the new accounts, she was immediately able to access all personal
information on the old checking account that had been opened in 1999 and closed several
years ago as earlier stated.  I pointedly asked her what my personal information was still
doing on a Wells Fargo computer network accessible all over the country, as well as the
rest of the world.  Anyone could have obtained that information or hacked the system.  She
had no response.  Neither did the Store Manager.

The account had long since been closed.  That information belongs to me, not the bank.  I
never signed any agreement with Wells Fargo forfeiting my right to my own personal
information.  Yet, there it was.  Worse, it included false information that I had never
given the bank.  Refused to give Wells Fargo when the account was originally opened in
1999.  For damned good reason.  Was none of their business, or the government's.

Clearly, the deceptive officer who opened the account years ago made up false information.
Outrageously, filled in the blanks after I left the bank.  Ms. Wright desperately tried to
elicit correct information that I quickly refused to give her.  As a law-abiding citizen,
it's none of the bank's business, none of the government's business.  “Know Your Customer”
policy is an outrageous invasion of personal privacy of innocent citizens, falsely in the
name of “national 'security.'”  Rather it is implementation of a fascist police-state this
writer will never accept, never cooperate with. The hell with the treasonous, traitorous
USA 'Patriot' Act.

Having received a written bogus policy follow-up from Wells Fargo Legal from Ms. Massey,
she again offered to close the accounts.  I refused and informed her complaints would be
filed against the bank with state and federal authorities.

She subsequently changed the requirements for maintaining a 'free' checking and savings
account.  Interesting, isn't it?  Lowered the minimums required.  Did away with the online
banking requirement.  – The online agreement forced on account holders is worse than the
written one.  More repressive.  More invasive.  She wanted me to re-electronically sign
the agreement.  Refused, since it would have abrogated my right to sue if my privacy is,
or was, invaded or Wells Fargo engages in any further deceptive trade practices.

Without question, Ms. Wright is a brilliant, young, gifted woman.  Who likely knowingly
capitulated to pressure brought to bear by her corporate masters to engage in
self-serving, lucrative deceptive trade practices.  As low woman on the totem pole, she
possibly believed she had no choice.  Conversely, as a seasoned banking veteran, Ms.
Massey has no excuse.  Until rampant deceptive trade practices are effectively addressed
by authorities, there will be no faith or trust in the hopelessly greedy, abusive,
corrupt, arrogant banking community.  Precisely why an increasing number eschew business
with them, – unless forced by personal circumstances.

Should an ordinary Joe or Jane engage in such deceptive practices as the banking industry,
they are rightfully quickly indicted for fraud or worse.  Not so, the banking community.
Rather, it's protected and coddled by authorities.  Too big to fail.  This has to change.

For your information, every other bank canvassed in this area is as bad or worse than
Wells Fargo regarding policy.  None are effectively regulated.  None.  Not one of them.
All do as they please.  With virtual impunity.  Convenient isn't it?  Are all in bed with
their 'regulators?'  Certainly, seems so.  Whose money, personal information do they truly
think it belongs to?  Them?  Arrogance, hubris?  Unlimited, endless.  National socialist.

Coup de grace?  A most poignant example of abject corporate cluelessness?  By a corporate
management suite that clearly doesn't 'get it?'  The following outrageously galling phony
propaganda printed on the monthly statement:  “Thank you for being a loyal Wells Fargo
customer.  We value your trust in our company and look forward to continuing to serve you
with your financial needs.”  Is that right?

Who the hell are they kidding?  They're delusional.  They betray their customers,
callously invade privacy, falsely believe they own account holder personal information,
share private information with whomever they choose as long as their pockets are lined,
pay pennies in interest for thousands deposited, release financial information to
government goons without a warrant.

How?  Courtesy of National Security Letters that are outrageously unconstitutional despite
rulings to the contrary by the fascists legislating their perverse ideological views from
the bench in support of their corporate masters.  Insult to injury?  These very same
bankers and others are forced by the very same dictators in government not to disclose to
account holders that they've been betrayed not only by our outrageously corrupt and
abusive government, but the corporate management suite that cowardly complies.  Yet, this
very same corporate management suite gallingly and falsely believes they're 'serving'
account holders.  How?  By betraying the best interests of their customers?  They serve
only themselves,  'Regulators' aid and abet.  A fascist police-state.

While customer service truly stinks, remains non-existent at Wells Fargo, it's as bad or
worse elsewhere.  Precisely, why the banking cartel does as it pleases.  Why?  Because it
can.  If an account weren't needed for legal reasons currently, this bank would be

Follow-Up: Egregious Deceptive Trade Practices-Wells Fargo
Connie Swinney, Reporter, The Picayune and DailyTrib.com

10-20-15

Dear Mr. Swinney:

As you may recall, the following message was sent to you last spring regarding egregious deceptive
trade practices perpetrated by Wells Fargo:

"Your readers need to be aware the Attorney General has ignored the following snail mailed
complaint filed against Wells Fargo about a year ago.  Intending to apply additional pressure, the
complaint was then emailed to his office 9-15-14.

"Apparently, the bank's too big to fail, -- or possibly his pockets are being lined.
Whatever the reason, the long-suffering public has a right to know. Will continue to do the best I can to
inform them in my publication.

"Feel free to share this message and/or links. The public, indeed, must be informed."

In update to the above, kindly be informed of the following:

Reverse Darwinism is alive and well at Wells Fargo.  Not only survival of the unfittest, however.  No, no, no.  Not at all.  Knowingly engage in criminal deceptive trade practices?  Tow the company line?  Look the other way?  Willingly play the game?  Then stonewall to the best of your ability, -- and guess what?  The corporate management suite promptly rewards such criminal behavior with a promotion to branch manager.  How 'bout 'dat?'

One of her tellers recently confirmed the young woman who had in fact engaged in deceptive trade practices while opening two accounts as repeatedly reported in this publication has indeed been promoted.  Rewarded for criminal behavior.  More importantly?  Loyalty to her corporate masters.  After all, the corrupt, abusive, inept bastards in the Wells Fargo corporate management suite had to replace the old battle wagon who had managed the Kingsland Branch, had been employed by the corporation for what, -- some 25 years?

Apparently, Ms. Massey had had enough of the determined continued tireless effort of this publication to expose her and her young protégé Amanda Wright to the light of day.  For knowing, determined egregious execution of criminal deceptive trade practices.  Clearly, both had done the will of their corporate masters.  Otherwise, both would have been immediately fired.  Guilt quickly admitted by the corporate management suite.

An effort to make it right.  Not to be.  Clearly, the deceptive trade practices problem remains an issue nationwide.  Readers are reminded as well of the criminal activities of Wells Fargo in California and the subsequent suit filed by government authorities out there.  Nothing has changed here.   Consequently, the effort to expose Wells Fargo to the community for what it is continues indefinitely.

For several months, Wells Fargo is now printing on its cash receipts the denomination of currency it gives customers.  Why?  A teller informed this writer it's for the convenience of those doing business with the bank.  That people supposedly like to be reminded of what the bank gave them.  Is that right?  Does the bank truly believe people are that stupid?  That inept, that incompetent not to know what they got in cash?

Not accusing the teller of lying, however.  Clearly, believe she only regurgitated what her corporate masters told her.  She assured me the bank is not collecting that data.  Forwarding it to its government lackeys.  Believe that?  Credible coming from a bank too big to fail, that considers itself the government?  That's already engaged in egregious deceptive trade practices in the Kingsland and Burnet branches?  Allegations it has never denied to date.  In fact, 'justifies.'
