This Is For Anyone Using Or Considering Americanet Bank

AmericaNet Bank (1 stars)
This is for anyone using or considering AmericaNet Bank, be very very careful!  I put $5000 in an AmericaNet Bank savings account because they offered a 2% rate.  Every quarter I'd go online and check my account.  Well, come to find, after my one year anniversary with AmericaNet Bank they began to charge a $10/month fee.  AmericaNet Bank did not provide any notice whatsoever when they started helping themselves to my money.  It wasn't until I logged on recently for my quarterly account review I found $20 missing.  After invesitigation I found that after one year, if you don't add more money, your account is considered dormant, and AmericaNet Bank starts penalizing your account $10/month every month until you add more money.  Almost seems like extortion to me!  I've used at least a dozen online Savings accounts and have never had money drained from my account like AmericaNet Bank is doing!  No bank has ever penalized me for leaving my money in their account!  But AmericaNet Bank does!  Beware, beware, beware!  AmericaNet Bank is a sham and ripoff.
