CARLSBAD, Calif. (KGO) — A young girls curiosity about the same sex coupled with his love for social media and the speed of the Wells Fargo money app turned out to be a costly combination. Here’s how an offer to be a “sugar baby” cost her hundreds of dollars.
“Hello, there. Will you be like my sugar baby?,” “Taylor Parks” asked the 17 year old, who we agreed not to identify.
“I’m willing to pay you $1000 as allowance on a weekly basis if you’re willing,” she said over Snapchat.
“Yes, I’m down,” the girl replied.
“Where did this Zelle money go? What account did the Zelle money go to? Why can’t they do research and find out?” Taylor Parks asked.
She also wants to know why Wells Fargo didn’t notify her of unusual activity on the account.
Wells Fargo told CNN On Your Side: “It can take weeks for a bank to confirm a bad check after it’s deposited and you may be out the amount of the check and any money sent to the scammer.”
Jasmine said the bank declined to refund the lost money because her daughter authorized it.
