wells Fargo

Liverbird1 — Sat, 23 Jul 2016 21:31:27 GMT

Has anybody been to Wells Fargo online home page recently .Well I did last wk and they had a sign saying 'What would you do if you found $500 ' Spend it , save it .No mention of hand it in to the police .

I called them and they said I was correct and it was not on line that day .

But this weekend it is back up there again .

Am I missing the point . Does this not send a bad message out to all the customers out there ?

It may be they don't want to say that word, for fear of backlash?? IMO . Sad.

Wells Fargo provides financial services and my take on it is they didn't mean it that way, as found in the street or where ever.

I saw that ad and never took it literally - I thought they meant you found $500 in your own money and now had to make a decision. I still think that's what they meant, but I do see OP's point. I've never found that much, but I did find $63 earlier this week - in my own house, somewhere it never should have been. I almost threw it away!

If it weren't my own $500, I'd be looking for an owner, too.

Wells Fargo is a terrible bank. I would not give them 2 cents.

On the aubject of "terrible bank" does anyone, ANYONE have a bank that they really LIKE?

Thirty years ago, I could pull up to the drive-up window and cash a check in 5 minutes.

NOW, it never takes less than 20, along with my pin, my debit card and my driver's license.

People come to "greet" me, offer me special services, all such nonsense, when all I want is to cash a lousy $40 check. LEAVE ME ALONE (and cash it!)

I use a local credit union - they are efficient and pleasant whether I use the drive-up or walk inside.

Except for getting a mortgage many years ago, I don't believe I've ever spent anywhere near 20 minutes in a bank. Once in a while, there's a back-up to see the specialty desks, but almost never to see a teller.

I agree with others, it would be your found money. Like you got a check you weren't expecting or something like that. Not that you found somebody's lost money.

What would I do if I found $500.00? My first thought would be that it belongs to someone else who might be anxious about the loss.

Depending on where I found it, I would had it over to someone responsible. Police, Hotel Manager,, etc.

I have received more money than I should have at banks and I returned the difference.

As someone else mentioned they did not mean that literally. That you as a customer would find $500 while shopping or going to the movies, etc and then pocketing it.

Unbelievable but very funny actually. Thanks for the laugh!

@violann -- I know EXACTLY what you mean.......and I have been a customer of the same bank "brand" for 46 years. They have accused me of everything......having a "fake" driver license and fake passport (yes, I take it with me because they have accused me of not being a citizen)......forging my own pension check......and more "etc's" than I can list. I DREAD going there......but I need a local bank so I can write a check to the vet, dentist, and so on........................

I have been with Wells Fargo at least 30 years, maybe more, and have never had a single problem with them in any way.

No, I haven't found a bank I like. I have accounts at a few different ones and they all have their pluses and minuses.

I made a deposit for my daughter last week, at her bank, B of A, and was surprised that this branch didn't open until 10 am. So I had to stand outside and wait....got inside and thought I was making a quick cash deposit into her account. And they wanted to see my ID!

Me, too. We like the people in our local branch, and they are always helpful and pleasant to deal with. Probably depends on your locale.

I read the OP and it never occured to me that it was literal..... as in actually finding $500 in the parking lot or sidewalk ... more like finding an extra $500 in your budget you didn't think you had..... and what would you do with it?
