A group of bank tellers have been charged with taking and
illegally using customer information.
Victims may be entitled to compensation for losses and damages. Our office is evaluating individual and group actions for compensation.
According to the ABC News Story, the defendants are accused of stealing close to a million dollars by having bank tellers access and steal personal information of hundreds of unsuspecting customers, including account numbers and Social Security numbers.
They allegedly used the information to withdraw money from those accounts.
The tellers involved worked for branches of Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, HSBC, TD Bank and Wachovia in Westchester, Bronx County, and other locations.
"Bank tellers have access to our most sensitive financial information and we must be able to trust that our data will remain safe and secure," a spokesman explained. "Identity theft is a complex and growing problem, and we must redouble our efforts to ensure that all of us - from large corporations, to small businesses and families - are better protected."
