Astoria Bank Stole $100 From My Son

This is a cautionary note as well as a sharp criticsm of Astoria bank, or at least a criticism of one of their employees.

In 2005 we opened up an account for my then less than one-year-old son. We went to Astoria Bank because they are a neighborhood bank and we liked them when we opened other accounts. Overall we were happy with them. We felt their customer service was better than average.

I don't know about you but all this crisis in Wall Street makes me pine for...

Eliot Spitzer
