Angel Visits Connie
with Christmas Green: $1,000 builder convinces Scrooge banker to relent and wipe out debt owed by woman
Chuck Kimball and his wife July gave
$1,000 to Connie Hewlett as a Christmas gift after reading of her plight
in ST. MARY'S TODAY. |
 Scrooge Sees the Light! Banker takes the first step to redemption, wipes out debt, but still has funds it took from woman's account...come on, Ebenezer, take the other step! Hats Off to Mercantile for having a change of heart and being led in the right direction by Connie's Angel, Chuck Kimball....but Mercantile can still give Connie's money back. She has a $300 a month car payment and cooks for her elderly mother while standing on her prosthetic legs. Connie is a two-time first prize winner in the Stuffed Ham contest at the St. Mary's County fair. She was forced to leave her job as a checker at Super Fresh when she lost her legs and now lives on her pension and disability check. Letter to the Editor: "A gigantic public relations blunder..." Mercantile misses the point: this issue is about taking care of your customer, common decency and compassion Will Baltimore Bank Give Connie Her Money Back? What the prior Mercantile CEO had to say about banking ethics....  |

Bah, Humbug!! Scrooge Harrison, above with the Ghost of Christmas Future, refuses to answer questions anytime before Dec. 22nd as to why his bank cleaned out Connie's money or why they failed to protect her from a bogus cashiers check. If you have money in Mercantile, take it out until they give Connie's money back. Boycott Mercantile, its your way to say that out of town banks who treat little people badly don't deserve your business or your respect. If you bank with Mercantile, close your account and boycott Mercantile until they Give Connie's Money Back!  Scrooge! What can Mercantile CEO Edward J. Kelly III buy for the $1235.00 he cleaned out of Connie Hewlett's bank account, her disability and pension check that are her sole monthly support and income? Caviar? First Class air travel? Dinner for four at the Four Seasons in Washington? Champagne? check out this list and a company profile of this huge financial holding company that bought out the old First National Bank of St. Mary's |
While Mercantile Bankshares, the parent
company of the Baltimore bank who cleaned out the account of Connie
Hewlett, the double amputee who fell for a lottery scam, says it has a
right to the $1,235.25 it cleaned out of her account, it's CEO,
Edward J. Kelly III won't have too much
trouble shopping for Christmas presents. In fact, according to
Forbes Magazine, Edward Kelly III will be
able to buy a nice present for the Southern Maryland Mercantile
President Lloyd Harrison, the local banking tycoon who has refused to
answer questions about what actions his bank failed to take to protect
Connie from con-men who told her she had won the lottery. CEO Kelly makes $1,536,000 this year and at that rate, he can well afford to get by without taking Connie's money, but Kelly also hasn't returned our call to find out why he took Connie's money. Kelly had a nice raise over last year when he made only $1,093,000 in salary. These figures don't take into account stock options, bonuses, percs or other rewards which make life for a CEO in Baltimore bearable.
