I know somebody who tried doing a standard vehicle emissions test (gov't facility) in the area they live in. Bank thought it was suspicious and locked their card. Then they tried sending money from the bank to buy a car (they were just borrowing it before buying from a family member), and the bank thought it was fraud so removed online banking too. No tickets or phone calls helped. Ridiculous. Never once did they call to ask "hey is this fraud?"
- valenterry 1y agoThe problem is that banks are too regulated. They get into problems (of different kinds) when it's actually fraud and they don't block the account. And then, customer support is expensive, more than losing a few customers.
