screaming. >> the scammer was still typing as betsy called wells fargo to stop payment on that check. >> and they said well, it's a good thing you wrote a check because you'll be able to stop payment on it. >> still, bad guys now had all of her information. >> gotcha. gotsch you remotely but got you nonetheless. >> i was robbed in my own house. >> at least she stopped that $500 payment, right? >> didn't work out that way. >> it turns out wells fargo went ahead and paid the $500 to the scammer. two days later -- >> you know, what does stop payment mean? >> the bank told her the check was cashed electronically. so the stop payment didn't work. betsy contacted on your side. we asked wells fargo why it paid the scammer after her fraud report? wells fargo said due to customer confidentiality, we cannot provide details on specific customer issues. but five days later, betsy got a surprise. >> there was my $500 in my checking account. and i was ecstatic.

i couldn't believe it. i was so happy. >> wow. wells fargo tells us you may need extra steps to stop payments when a crook has your account information. it did not say why those steps weren't taken in this case. but look, if this ever happens to you, consider freezing your account and do it right away. now, i want to hear from you. the on your side hotline is open weekdays 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. my telephone number is 415-954-8151. you can also reach me on my facebook page and through abc 7. >> good work. let's check one more time on tonight's live poll which is open now at abc7news.com/vote. >> what issue should san francisco's new mayor sworn in just today tackle first? here are the results as they continue to come in, and it really hasn't changed dramatically in a while. homelessness the number one issue people seem to think she should focus on. 69%. >> with housing coming in with
