A Los Angeles woman says she notified the California EDD several times about suspicious activity and also filed a police report. But EDD took the money anyway.
She said she notified the California EDD several times about suspicious activity and also filed a police report. But EDD took the money anyway.She’s been saving money, maybe to buy a house, but the State of California recently snatched nearly everything she’d saved.“I just want the best future for my spouse and I. And the fact someone could potentially take everything from me is super frightening,” she said.
That’s what happened to Tom -- scammers filed claims using her name and got all the money. She was tipped off after receiving a letter in the mail from EDD verifying the change of address for her benefits. Tom said she filed a police report and reported the fraud to EDD several times.But it didn’t work. Recently, without warning, Tom said EDD took $24,000 out of her bank account, accusing her of filing fake EDD claims.
“I just felt hopeless. I just felt like there was nothing else I could do at this point because I went through so many steps to correct this. And no one’s tried to call me back or contacted me about this issue,” she said.The I-Team wanted to know if EDD had wrongfully taken money from the bank accounts of other Californians. But EDD told us it doesn’t have that data, or even if it did, it couldn’t provide it for privacy reasons.
