Bank manager charged with stealing elderly man's money
Not just an employee, but Lynn Pranga was the bank manager. And why did she pick on the elderly man? Because he's vulnerable and basically nobody cares about old people. Thank you NASGA for posting this article. Whenever we see artciles about banks and mandatory reporting, we must remind them that they need to be watching their own employees.
ReplyDeleteAnd who was supposed to be watching her? Do bank managers get audited?
ReplyDeleteBeware of bank personnel marketing bank products outside the bank. Lynn Pranga sold bank products in house of retirement institutions. Very friendly banker sells best friend, caring person and then extorts from elderly. . Beware of this style of friendly sell to vulnerable elderly. Lynn Pranga is a master and reminds us we need to find ways to protect our elderly living in house within retirement institutions. She has been seen picking up elderly at same location as recently as mid August while she is still going through court process. Ridiculous!
