To all who may read this, please don't do business with this bank, unless your Mexican!  I have tried several times to do business with this branch called Bank of America in Fallbrook and have unsuccessfully been able to get any positive results.  I felt it was time to write a review today.  I am proud to say that I am of Ethiopian descent, and know for a fact that this bank profile and are racist!!!!  A couple of years ago, I once tried to get checks verified at this bank before I deposit them into my bank account and the manager and tellers wanted my ID and was acting like I was trying to steal from them, and I wasn't trying to cash the checks at this branch.  Please know that the checks were drawn from this bank, and I had a right to get the checks verified before depositing them or cashing them to make sure they were good first.  The bank manager at this bank had the audacity to take the checks from me as if they were stolen!  The checks were electronic checks that were printed out to be deposited, and I have no problem depositing business checks to my bank.

Fast forward to today, I tried to get a cashier's check from this bank, even though I don't have an account with them, I am still able to go to any bank branch to get funds transferred from my bank to get a cashier's check.  I verified on the phone with Bank of Americas's 800 number  3 times before going to this branch to be able to do this before I even went to this bank because it was an emergency, and was told that it is at the discretion of the bank if they want to do it or not.  I am convinced that since they did NOT want to do it, is mainly because they are RACIST!  I watched other customers come into the bank while I had to patiently wait for a manager to help me, and noticed that they treated everyone else kindly, especially the Mexicans.  Mind you, I am not racist, this is just what I've noticed the few times that I have visited this branch.  I have vowed that I would never go into this bank again when they thought I was some kind of thief or criminal when they didn't want to verify customer's checks for me before but, I had to go into the branch today because I needed to get funds immediately for an emergency and my bank is located out of state.  I could not withdraw the large amount of funds from the ATM.  The tellers and manager at this bank are not friendly at all, and they do profile people as if they are criminals and by far very racist!!

This branch was afraid and scared to give an Ethiopian (black) doctor a cashier's check for $17,000...point blank!  I wonder if they were afraid because maybe I wasn't to have that much money in my account.

I will never attempt to do any business with this bank ever again!
