“Moved money from Ally to another bank”
What Actually Happened
Someone applied for a checking account using my name and email at 4 banks, including Ally. I reported it, but Ally took too long to resolve the issue.
What I wish I knew
"Old bank systems might be associating transactions by email address"
Advice to Someone Facing This Now
If I could tell you one thing
"Don't trust older banks with security, consider moving your money"
