$10M bank ‘skim’ lawsuit

A quarter-million dollars vanished from their bank account — and they didn’t notice for two years.

Brian and Claire Schochet, of Pine Brook, NJ, claim they lost more than $251,000 to unauthorized transfers from their Bank of America account between January 2010 and June 2012, according to a Manhattan Supreme Court lawsuit filed last week.

The thieves got the cash with telephone and electronic transfers, but Bank of America never got the couple’s written approval for such maneuvers, the Schochets claim in court papers.

The Schochets claim they’re entitled to damages of up to $10 million for the breach, their suit says.

Bank of America declined to comment.
