Amscot fraudulently stole $75.00 off the Western Union Wire System that I sent to my daughter. My daughter was suddenly left homeless and had no place to go and no food or money. I wired her through Western Union enough money to cover a hotel room and food until the next day. The Manager Matt at this location had her sign to receive the money transfer and then took the $75.00 and said she owed Amscot from 4 years ago from an Amscot loan. He then gave her a receipt for the money he took. I contacted Western Union and they are having to refund our money in full but not for days. My daughter is disabled by law and was left homeless with no way to buy even a drink. It is illegal to have someone sign a form stating they received money and then take it for their own use. It is considered fraud and punishable by law. It is theft to take someones money without them consenting. This was my hard earned money that I trusted to Western Union and they / he Matt Stole it. I am seeking attorneys fees , prosecution of the employee and a lawsuit for direct emotional distress to my disabled daughter who was left on the streets for 24 hours until family could get to her. This is not the way to treat customers and they had no right regardless of what transpired 4 years prior. The Americans with Disabilities Act was violated and Western Union should remove their right to represent them in wire transfer. I am seeking Media attention and coverage from local news channels and will stop them from stealing money from others. BEWARE.
