Baby Storme, a musician and popular TikToker based in Los Angeles, has just lived through an awful experience. The woman entered her local branch of Citibank, where she has been a customer for about five years, with a $30k check her father sent to help cover her rent for the year.
While depositing the check was supposed to be a smooth and standard procedure, it quickly turned into a deeply troubling situation. You see, the teller who was handling the transaction proceeded to question the authenticity of the check, ended up confiscating it, and refusing to give it back.
