Part IX, Line 24e Fraud Charges Expense. The Joyful Child Foundation - In Memory of Samantha Runnion Citibank Business Checking Account Narrative and Timeline of Fraud Event. This information was reported to the FBI and FTC the same day the fraud occurred. On February 20 2024 I noticed I had missed five incoming calls from telephone number 1-877-528-0990. This telephone number is listed on the back of The Joyful Child Foundations Citibank Business checking account atm debit card. This telephone number is the number Citibank business account holders are to call with any questions relating to their business account. I called the number back moments later while driving. When the call went through I was informed by the automated system that I had reached Citibank. The automated telephone system identified my phone number as associated with a valid account and prompted me to enter the last 4 digits of my atm debit card or verify another way. Since I was driving and could not accommodate the request I hung up. As I was returning home minutes later at 12:55 PM I received an incoming call from 1-877-528-0990 that I unfortunately answered. The caller stated they were calling from the Citibank Fraud Department and had identified several transactions that appeared to be fraudulent and asked if I had authorized them. The caller asked if I had authorized a wire transfer a charge at an Apple computer store in Houston and another charge at a Samsung store also in the Houston area. I said I had not authorized the transactions. The caller said he needed to confirm some information with me the last four digits of the atm card number the last four digits of my social security number and whether the atm debit card was in my possession to determine that I was an authorized owner or agent for the account. After doing so the caller informed me it was necessary to flag the transactions referenced earlier as fraudulent secure the account by canceling and reissuing the atm card and cancel the current login and password credentials since the account had been compromised. I canceled my login credentials via the Citibank app on my phone and believe this is where the account takeover occurred. During the call the caller validated himself to me by confirming my login ID account address account balance & other personal information that only an employee should know. He told me that I would receive a new atm debit card by overnight mail and that my account would not be accessible until I received an email from Citibank requesting that I establish a new user ID and password. I found the request to wait for an email requesting I establish a new user ID and password suspicious; however the call ended moments later. While reviewing my email constantly over the next several hours I noticed I had received an email from Citibank at 2:32 PM PST indicating a mobile check deposit of $25,000 had been received as well as a texted alert stating I had enrolled in Citibanks Trusted Identity Touch ID program. The communications suggested I call Citibank immediately if I had not requested enrollment in the trusted identity touch ID program or facilitated the mobile check deposit. Both communications raised my suspicion immediately. I called Citibank at 2:37 PM PST and logged in to TJCFs account simultaneously fully expecting not to have access based on my conversation with the scammer earlier. I quickly discovered that 3 domestic fed fund wire transfers had already been issued to 3 separate individuals at two different banks from The Joyful Child Foundations Business checking account. I asked the Citibank agent with whom I was speaking to freeze the account immediately because the wire transfers were fraudulent. I then asked Citibank to recall the wires and to file a fraud report with Citibanks wire fraud department manager. I was transferred to Rachel Sevilla who facilitated the fraud report and requested the funds from the three separate wire transfers be recalled or returned from the two receiving banks Bank of America and Chase Bank. Citibank Ms. Sevilla provided me with reference numbers for the 3 wire transfers that I never authorized approved or verified instructions for a common practice financial institutions employ to prevent fraudulent wire requests. Citibank would not confirm with me if how or with whom the bank verified the wire instructions. During the same call I also reported that I had not made the mobile check deposit for $25,000 and that it was likely fraudulent. Citibank had already made the funds from the fraudulent mobile check deposit available for use in the account. By reporting this additional fraud early enough I was informed that I likely prevented another fraudulent wire from being sent from the account. After a brief hold Citibank informed me that they had frozen TJCFs business checking account. Throughout the call Citibank representatives provided no assurances to me that the funds would be returned in spite of how quickly the fraud was reported. I was told that their investigation could take up to 90 days to resolve. The call ended. For context TJCFs Citibank Business checking account has been open for 22 years. In that time never had any foreign or domestic wire transfer been initiated or authorized by anyone at the foundation. In less than two hours Citibank allowed someone to sign up for Trusted ID Touch from an IP address not consistent with or associated with the authorized agent for the account and facilitate 3 fraudulent domestic wire transfers totaling $31,950 with no business rationale or purpose provided to unknown individuals and inconsistent with TJCFs mission non-profit status and 22 year account history. Furthermore since the accounts inception in 2002 never had a mobile check deposit been attempted or presented. Within the same two hour timeframe on February 20th Citibank accepted a $25,000 mobile check deposit that should have alerted the bank to the fraud that was occurring. The $25,000 check was payable to Kenneth Donnelly an individual rather than The Joyful Child Foundation an entity and the signature endorsement on the check deposit did not match or resemble the signature on file for the authorized agent Kenneth Donnelly for the account. Despite an incorrect endorsement and a non-matching signature Citibank accepted this deposit into The Joyful Child Foundations checking account and made the funds available for withdrawal thereby potentially facilitating more fraud in the account. This should never have happened because these actions constitute a violation of industry rules and regulations relating to check deposits. This is yet another example of activity inconsistent with TJCFs bank account history and illustrates a serious lack of proper internal controls and compliance processes needed to protect account owners. Citibank failed in its duty of care to The Joyful Child Foundation by not designing employing and adhering to basic compliance processes designed to detect and prevent wire fraud from occurring.

Global ID - G0145019024001 Internal Case Number CIT240220-011144 February 20 2024 Three fraudulent fed fund wire requests totaling $31,950.00 were disbursed from TJCFs Business checking account after speaking to an individual 12:55 PM PST who claimed to be from Citibank and who called from a number that identifies as the Citibank CitiBusiness customer service telephone number - 1-877-528-0990. Copy enclosed I called Citibank at 1-877-528-0990 at 2:37 PM PST Copy enclosed 5 minutes after receiving communications indicating I had submitted a mobile check deposit for $25,000 and had signed up for Citibanks Trusted Identity Touch ID program and to call if I did not facilitate either request. I called within minutes of receiving the mobile check deposit communication. Citibank has said it has investigated TJCFs fraud claim and denies the claim based on their findings. A lawsuit against Citibank is likely to be filed. More to follow.
