i deposited 1500 dollars in cash in an atm. the money was missing when i had a witness see me put money in?

Question

has anyone ever had missing funds of a large amount of money from a deposit envelope from a bank. if so how much and what bank

Answer 1

I use to work for several banks...National City Bank and Firstmerit Bank. From personal experience I know it can become very shady inside the bank.
NEVER and I mean NEVER put cash into an envelope. This is definitely a lesson learned. Never get so lazy that you can not get off your *** and go to the bank. Get a money order. Get a check.

As for the bank...is it possible someone stole it? Yes. Either way the bank will take a loss for it. I am surprised that the bank has not tried to notify you to rectify this situation. All ATM's have a camera inside. Go to the branch where you made the deposit and ask for an internal investigation. You will need documentation and film evidence of the actual deposit. If they can or will (an I say this liberally) produce the film then you have your evidence. Your witness is no good. Your best defense is the atm's camera.

I hope this helps and you can see this film.
TAKE MY ADVICE:
no more cash atm deposits
sue the hell out of that bank.

Good Luck!

Answer 2

All ATMs have camera's at them....and hopefully if this was a bank lobby there would be more angle's. I would call the bank manager and request they review all they secure and review the security video's.

The closest problem I had was once when I took out $60 at a a supermarket atm and even though the machine made noise it didn't spit out any money at me. Because it was in a store they didn't have video and I had to have a big fight to get it, even though I had been a customer of that bank for a long time AND the market mgr told me they had a history of problems with that machine. So if I were you I'd NEVER deposit that much cash into a machine again, because I am worried you may have a heck of a fight on your hands unless you get lucky.

Just had a thought...I'd ask if they have video of where the envelopes are opened. My best of luck to you, but given the fight I had for 60 bucks, well, just hope the video shows something!

Answer 3

Now you know why not to deposit cash that way. If they can't account for the money you may be out of luck. After they count the money lets hope the count is over by 1500 dollars. Next time use a check, or go inside so you will have a receipt.

Answer 4

Boyfriend was told by a Citizens Bank phone rep to never deposit cash into ATM because there is no proof of deposit... Basically telling him, you'll be screwed! Wasn't too pleased with that.

Answer 5

Most unusual. I once believed I got an extra 20 from an ATM but since then concluded I was somehow I mistaken. I spend the extra 20 though.
If such a mistake as you describe were made the bank probably has a procedure for processing claims--why not ask them? Or are you researching the subject for possible use as a scam?

Answer 6

No, I've never had any missing funds. But WHY would you want to trust putting in that much cash in an ATM anyway??

Answer 7

no, but i would complain to the bank. they have video surveillance at atm's and should be able to help verify you put the money in there. but i think they suggest not putting cash in atms... check to see if your atm says not to. good luck.

Answer 8

ALL TRANSACTIONS ARE RECORDED AND FILMED...
AS WELL AS THE DROP....
CASH JUST DOESN'T VANISHED....

WITNESS DOESN'T MEAN DIDDLE...

NEVER DEPOSIT CASH UNLESS ITS A BANK BAG DEPOSIT...

Answer 9

Uh-huh, well, I would talk with the bank. Frankly, I am dubious.

Answer 10

Yeah, Right!
