Trouble at the Bank

After ten years of co-habitating, my bf decides to add me to his checking account. So off we go to the bank on a Sat. During the process the teller asks if I need online banking access. He says no, I say no. I don't really want to get into his business too much. And a bank account is a very personal thing.

A week later I get my ATM card and need to go into any branch to get the PIN set up. So I go to a branch near my house and the teller goes to log-in to my online banking and asks for my password. And I say, "Oh we didn't set that up, I just need a PIN number." She insists that indeed a I did and pulls it up on the monitor.

After we had opened the account, someone had made a bogus email address and password up for that account. The teller said it had to be the person who opened the account, but that woman who opened it sure didn't look like the shifty type. So now I'm getting worried. The person who opened the online account took my first name and my year of birth and tried to make a gmail account. I think the only reason they failed was they mispelled gmail and spelled it gimail instead. So Jennifer at the branch I was at helped me change the email and password, and today I'm going to go see the bank manager to see if he can shine any more light on just what happened. When someone inside a bank does something shifty, either on accident or on purpose, it's very disconcerting.
