Scammers stole nearly $55,000 from two elderly Dallas-Fort Worth women who bank with JPMorgan Chase.
Both women say they lost their money despite alerting Chase early enough to reverse the withdrawal. Chase contends the women authorized the transfers – unwittingly or not – so there’s little the banking giant can do about it.
Retired Dallas Independent School District administrator Shirley Ison-Newsome, 75, has sued Chase, alleging her bank account was drained by more than $51,000. She is seeking monetary relief of up to $250,000.
