Heads Up Bay Ridge: Bank Card Taken at Bank of America on 5th Avenue
A Bay Ridge neighbor shared this with the community so that everyone is aware that there is a thief at The Bank of America on 5th Avenue in Bay Ridge:
My father was at the BANK OF AMERICA on BAY RIDGE AVE AND 5TH AV, while he was about to insert his card into the ATM a guy came up to him snatched his card saying “oh that machine doesn’t work” directed him quickly to another machine and the guy tapped his card into the machine then left shorty after.
Once my dad made a check deposit into his savings account he noticed he was missing $1,500 (he then went on his app and noticed a $1,500 withdrawal) from his savings account. This all happened in a matter of seconds, he didn’t even see the thief take cash from the ATM. He still doesn’t know how all of this happened so quick.
We filed a claim with the bank and made a police report.
Everything doesn’t make sense and doesn’t add up on how quick things moved, but these thief’s are becoming quicker than ever.
Please be aware of your surroundings always. And never let anyone get too close to you. He never thought this could’ve happened to him but unfortunately these horrendous people are getting more slick by the day.
The man was a 40-50 yr old man around around 5’9 and 200 lbs
