Bank of America Customer Has $219,000 Stolen From Account by Woman Allegedly Using Fictitious Identities: Report

A Bank of America customer reportedly had hundreds of thousands of dollars drained from her account by a thief using a fake identity.

Last month, Donna Nestler, a resident of Monticello, New York, allegedly stole $219,000 from her long-term friend’s Bank of America account using a fake identification card, reports the KMZU news radio station.

According to an investigation by the Daviess County Sheriff’s Office in Missouri, Nestler allegedly stole the funds between June 2nd and June 9th from the bank account of the unidentified victim, who is a resident of Daviess County.

The Daviess County Sheriff’s Office has issued an arrest warrant for Nestler.

Authorities say the victim was able to identify the thief using surveillance images of the bank transactions. Nestler allegedly flew from New York to Nevada and then back to New York to steal the money.

According to a separate report by KTTN news radio station, Nestler used a falsified driver’s license under the victim’s identity to steal the funds.

The victim reportedly discovered the transactions on June 6th, when she locked her account and filed a dispute of the charges with Bank of America. However, Nestler allegedly was able to once again access the victim’s account on June 9th to withdraw an additional $9,520.

Nestler is facing charges of stealing from a financial institution, forgery and identity theft.
