Telling the OP that this is the case. Offering them the opportunity to supply evidence to the contrary. The standard line in cases like this (whether it's a frozen payments account, a rejected app, or a suspended social media account) is that you can't tell someone what rule they broke, because this gives too much informative feedback to actual malicious actors about how they got caught. I call bullshit. Until someone can demonstrate that this is an actual problem, I will believe it to be a fake problem, purely an excuse used by giant companies to justify their systematically hostile (and cheap) approach to customer service.

Under anti-money-laundering legislation, this is considered a crime called "tipping off": https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/9780470685280.ch23 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/9780470685280.ch...

  It is illegal to do so, but is it an actual problem? This point is always repeated, and never proven.
