BE CAREFUL!
Vanguard STOLE $8,600. from one of my Brokerage Account ((ending in 1001) and has done everything to justify doing it?
I have worked remotely for a company (CMartinEnterprisesLLC) for over eight months. They were going to pay me for my time and supplies used $8,600. They wanted to send it to my Vanguard Account so I could use it immediately or withdraw a bit at a time?
Of course to justify their THIEVERY the Vanguard Management questioned the companies’ legitimacy and that I should also? They don’t know but I already did that and have the letter from IRS that states they have no issues with the company and no reason to investigate further. So Vanguard to justify their LARCENOUS actions they blame the discrepancy on the legit company?
On 06/26/2026, Friday afternoon, I received a call from the above mentioned company wanting to settle this situation up and move forward into other tasks that needed finished. I was on the phone and computer for texts and emails. At approximately 3:30 pm. I gave them my USERID and PASSWORD to my Vanguard Account, as stated in contact with them continuous? I received a text from Vanguard with the PASS CODE for the company to use to access my Vanguard account. At 3:53 pm. I received an email (I have a copy) from Vanguard confirming the Cash EBT transfer into my account of $8,600. and if I did not make that I was to contact Vanguard? I then left account screens with the company since money was going into my account and I notified them of that. I immediately changed the USERID and PASSWORD so I only had access to my accounts again.
Upon investigating Vanguard and my file, on Monday morning, 06/29/2026 had a Sweep In for $8,600 which a supervisor said is money was transferred into my account? This verified the deposit of Friday afternoon also.
Per records on July 29th the $8,600 cleared and I could transfer some or all of it to my personal account on file. I did process the transfer on 06/29/2026, but it said it would take 7-10 business days for the transaction to clear? So during that week I observed my account and 07/01/2026 there was a Sweep Out of my account for $8,600. I called and eventually spoke to Supervisor Bruce who informed me that it was now transferring to my personal account and would take 3-5 business days? I gave it till the following Friday and called about its status? That is when I was fed all this crap and the bottom line is the money was never in my account to start with is what I was told? They said they will report it to Fraud Investigation, that is the last I heard. THEY STOLE MY MONEY and I want it returned?
About two weeks later I ended up in the hospital for what the Doctors called a Stress Related Break Down? So I am some what back to normal and will find a Government Agency that will handle this type of fraudulent behavior?
I have all the emails, texts and etc. to back up everything I have in this complaint?
Claimed loss: $8,600. missing from my Brokeage Account 1001
Desired outcome: return my $8,600.

I completely understand how you feel. I’ve actually experienced something similar myself, and I know how frustrating and emotionally draining it can be when you’re told your money is there, only to discover that something isn’t right. It’s especially difficult when you have all the emails, messages, and documentation but still don’t know where to turn.That’s why I’d recommend speaking with a professional financial fraud investigation/recovery agency that handles brokerage-related cases. I was able to get guidance through an agency when I went through my own situation, and they helped me understand what steps to take. If you’d like, I can refer you to the agency I used (Getreclaim)so they can review your case and let you know what options may be available.
