Stolen Retirement Money
Hi Terry,
My dad has retirement accounts at Fidelity. Somehow his account was hacked maybe through a sophisticated operation where they called him pretending to be Fidelity. Anyway, they withdrew $88,000 to some personal account to some person in Florida. He’s been with Fidelity for over 25 years and has never taken out over $25,000. When he takes out money he always has fidelity withhold money and it always goes to his bank, no one else. So I don’t know why Fidelity let money go out that didn’t fit the pattern. Further, we discovered it within 3 hours and called Fidelity but the money already went to the other person, there was no time for the money to be held. Fidelity is looking into it, what are my other steps I can take? Thank you
