Fraud protection temporarily shut down my card. They asked me if I'm using it for gambling and I told them its none of their business.

The reinstated the card but said that it would keep being shut off if used for gambling.

"none of your business"????

here is some advice, if anyone calls you and asks if you have ties to bin laudin, or meth labs, or mexican gun running, the answer is always "no" not "none of your business"

Of course it was not smart and it would have been better to say, 'NO!'. They caught me off guard and it sounded like they knew what it was for. I didn't know how much they knew, they knew enough to figure out it was gambling though.

Next time i will deny.

It was BOA.

If I were you, I would stop doing business with them immediately. What nerve they have calling you up asking what the transaction was regarding. You verified to them it wasn't fraudulent. They should respect your privacy and the conversation should end there.

My bank pretty much tells me who and what I can do business with, it is getting fucking annnoying. I would change accounts, but I have a lot of monthly deductions coming out and most my accounts are linked to this bank account.

Maybe if I quit being lazy I will switch banks.

My bank started denying WU online transfers, which is bullshit. It's a checking card, and they are telling me now, I can't do online CC Western Union, after they let me a half dozen times

BOA is the most pussified bank I ever dealt with. That is where I had all of my funds at when they were seized by the DOJ and then they have the nerve of back dating the order and bouncing a bunch of checks and then of course charging me 30 some odd dollars a piece. Fuckers cost me like an extra 600 for absolutly no reason. Crazy thing is my personal banker was a friend of mine from school and I recommended him to every one of my co-defendants and so it made the feds job even easier as we were all with that shit bank. I cornered the guy (banker) about a year later and he swore up and down he had no idea it was happening.

LOL, exactly. I tried it while married, a couple of divorces to show for using that method.


Wife - where were you last night, you out banging whores?

Me - none of your business.

Wife - my lawyer will be contacting you soon.



Learn to use "no".

So if you have a credit card that makes them your boss. I would have said the same thing, how I spend my money is none of their business.

The US OF A known to be "Land of a Free" is already a fascist type of govt, same as the Germans. You guys shouldnt be surprised if they start censoring the internet soon(to protect what they so called "security measure"). They're already forcing you a health insurance even you didnt want to and they can arrest anyone w/o warrant of arrest, so much for being free.
