What am i suppose to tell my bank?

[ebbearsfb1]

they shut my card down saying supcious actvity...
guess they thinking buying products from stockhom is strange...

do i need to tell them whats it for or how does work?

[hanziman]

there's a sportsbook in stockholm?

[jjgold]

Where do you live?

[ehp6737]

I had this happen twice with my TD-Bank check card. Just act dumb and say you bought a few things online. They'll give you a warning about using your card for gambling, say you didnt, and then they should either reactivate your card or have to issue a new one with new number, depending on the bank. When you call the bank about it, call your local branch, not the 800 number on the back. And then obviously dont use that card again to deposit



...Assumming your referring to gambling deposits...

[THE PROFIT]

what were you buying??? As long as its not weapons grade plutonium I dont see the problem

[ehp6737]

there's a sportsbook in stockholm?

was probably where book's cc processor is located

[ebbearsfb1]

it was for bookmaker



and jersey jj

[ebbearsfb1]

yup thats correct..




lol at buy weapons

[Dirty Sanchez]

God damn Jersey...figures.......I dated a girl from Philadelphia one time...she said "Sanchez kiss me where it stinks".....so I fired up the car and drove her to Jersey

[ngates815]

Just wait a few days and tell em that you lost your card...I don't know if they then give you a new credit/DC number.


It happened to me at 5Dimes, then they offered the "VC alternative" and it now takes my card. Wasn't a big deal for me since they still took my DC.

[nyed1010]

just use **. Those f*ucks behind the counter wouldn't even flinch if you were sending money to Afghanistan and the recipient's name was Osama Bitch Laden. Just avoid using anything that goes through your bank. The fees suck for person to person transfers, but many of the top books cover fees if depositing over $300.

[Slim]

They sent me a letter and I called a number. Got it reactivated easily.

[ebbearsfb1]

God damn Jersey...figures.......I dated a girl from Philadelphia one time...she said "Sanchez kiss me where it stinks".....so I fired up the car and drove her to Jersey

[ehp6737]

I wouldnt recommend saying this. If you said you lost your card, which basically means your saying you didnt make those purchases, they'll expect you to file a fraud/unauth purchase form......which would be illegal since you did make the purchases. Just say you bought things online. They dont know what you actually bought. They only flagged your purchase because the cc proccessor that was used must be tagged as a gambling processor. But its so hard for the banks to keep an up to date list, so if you just play dumb they'll let it go since it's your first time and they cant prove it was actually for gambling. just dont let it happen again or you could lose check card privileges and/or risk account closure.

[ebbearsfb1]

yeah i'll call them in a bit see how this goes

[Chimneyfish]

Don't worry about it, this has happened to me a few times. You don't have to explain anything- it's your money and you can spend it how you want. The reason why they deactivate it is to protect you from what looks like somebody stealing your CC information- not to investigate what you're spending money on. All they'll do is ask you to confirm that you were the person who made the purchases and then they'll re-activate it without any more questions asked. In my case they made a note on my account that would prevent it from automatically deactivating from the foreign vendors I approved.

Your are very incorrect here. Your example is because they suspected fraud. This is a case of using cc for gambling, which is different. If his bank suspects of him doing this, then yes he has to answer questions IF they want to press him because I guarantee in his cardholder agreement he is strictly prohibited from using his card for gambling purposes. Yes it his money, but that doesnt mean the bank will allow themselves to be part of illegal gaming transactions. Worst case is they close his account and refund him his account balance. Best case he calls them and plays dumb, they let it slide, and they issue him a new card. Like I said earlier, I've had to deal with this twice and it's not as simple as "its my money I'll do what I want". You have to play dumb

thanks chimney

[ebbearsfb1]

[INVEGA MAN]

i will be very carefull how i use my card

[Powderguy]

I wanna say Metro did this to me before

[Brock Landers]

had MBNA do this to me back when i sent like 20 Western Unions in one month LOL Probably about 5 years ago

[ebbearsfb1]

chimney was right, i didnt even talk to a person just talked to a machine asking me to verify my last bunch of transactions... they will reactivate in 20 minutes

[ngates815]

That's why I said wait a few days....Meaning let the transactions all process and whatnot. Then tell them you lost your card today. I'm not telling him to scam the damn place, that's the last thing I'd be telling someone, since I only deposit through credit/debit cards.

[ebbearsfb1]

i do work at the bank my card is for so dont exactly wanna screw them lol

...Assumming your referring to gambling deposits...

I had this happen twice with my TD Bank card as well

you don't even have to deny that you were using it for gambling

I just said "oh, sorry"

The second time it happened they were even like "and we told you three months ago not to use it for gambling"

I was like "oh yeah, sorry"

then they turn the card back on, same number, same everything

its an annoying hassle but nothing to be worried about

theyre not going to steal your money, obviously, and they won't kick you out of the bank either, unless I guess you do it 10 times or something

Im not sure what you mean. There are specific transactions that he made that were flagged, hence disabling his card until he speaks with them to clear those transactions up. I'm not sure how waiting a few days or not matters. Telling them he lost his card a few days later doesnt mean anything. They still need to speak with him to then reinstate his charging privliges with that card OR a new issued card.

holy shit u got away with this with TD CANADA TRUST??? They fuked me so many times because of gambling transactions

[Chimneyfish]

Your are very incorrect here. Your example is because they suspected fraud. This is a case of using cc for gambling, which is different.

The charge doesn't show up "GAMBLING" on the bank statement. The reason why cards get automatically deactivated like this is because a computer sees that I used my card in California and then 15 minutes later had a big charge from a vendor with a Costa Rican address. It gets flagged as possibly being stolen. These deactivations come from the fraud detection department, not someone sitting around monitoring what you're spending your money on. This is why I was always able to get it re-activated just by authorizing the charge. There's no talk about any sportsbooks or a need to play dumb or anything like that.

Looks like ebbearsfb1 even confirmed that this was the case.

[ebbearsfb1]

What bank u use chimney? Maybe its only r bank.. like I said I didn't even talk to a person just a machine confirming my last few transactions... card was recactivited in mins

[GOIRISH]

i had this happen to me, my bank runs through some service to check shit and i got a call from them and ignored it until my ex boss calls me and tells me they have been calling her. So i called and they asked me if i made the charges, i said yes however they did not go through, they said have a nice day and i was done

[No coincidences]

[Jnas]

i try to avoid big banks they seem to be more on the lookout for stuff than smaller banks and credit unions
