Bank customers report unexpected account freezes

Moving to a credit union is not a good idea, it’s better to use credit cards

You can shut down my account if you want AFTER you give me my Money!

Use a good local credit union Vs corrupt banks that don't give a Da... about you. Shalom

Arent they the ones that let ANYONE open an account?

This happened to me about 2 years ago. They froze my account 5 times in a period of 4 months and each time telling me there were suspicious activities. Let's see... Walmart purchases, McDs lunches, monthly CC and utility bills, etc, were all suspicious to this facility. The best thing is to avoid this dysfunctional facility. It is simply a "facility" to me and not a bank! Banks don't operate that way... Got my life back only after I switched to a bank.

NEVER PUT YOUR EGGS IN ONE BASKET COMES TO MIND! 😳🥺

Just wait till the government comes out with CBDC CURRENCY. YOU THINK THE BULL SCHIT WITH THESE BANKS DO NOW TO ITS CUSTOMERS, YOU WAIT AND SEE WHAT YOUR COMMUNIST DEMOCRATIC PARTY GOVERNMENT WILL DO WHEN THIS HAPPENS.

I will be very afraid to put my money in any bank if they can freeze my account with no explanation.

Welcome to the world where AI is calling the shots. No person shut your account down. AI programming is flagging accounts the bank should close and they're doing what AI tells them to do.

I feel this should be changed because we trust the institution to have our money available for withdrawal when i need it. You close it thr bank should not be allowed to keep our funds in the account for any reason especially when it has been available for access before it was closed

They closed my account and saying they will not give my money back and i just opened this account barely been able to use it much

When you're dictatorship bangs the word recession or Great Depression this is what you get.
Democratic party high inflation still affects everyday Americans.
Even cutting the interest rate will take time to trickle down to the public.
So if you voted for the democratic party you deserve every ounce of No Remorse

USE CASH OR LOOSE CASH - CASH EQUALS LIBERTY = FREEDOM - RESIST DIGITALISATION - USE CASH

Hmm all bills go into default take the Bank to small claims court for sure

It is theft.

Need 2021 stimulus checks that were cashed

Most of these accounts are being locked because of gift card fraud scammers these people are putting money on gift cards a lot of money and this is the reason why their accounts are being frozen add more people need to have their accounts Frozen to protect the elderly from the scams.

In an investigation needs to be done before these people have access to their money if my bank account was frozen because of this I would have absolutely no problem and it being frozen because protecting the most innocent people in our community is better than the alternative.

Here's an idea why are these people are putting thousands of dollars on a gift card😮

There's absolutely no excuse for anyone to put thousands of dollars on gift cards unless you're doing something wrong.

You have a bank account do you have an ATM card or a bank card why are you putting thousands of dollars on a gift card.

The only people that put thousands of dollars on gift cards or scammers and your bank account definitely needs to be frozen if that's what you're doing.

To protect the most vulnerable people on the face of this planet the elderly. If they're not doing anything wrong then is there a bank accounts get unfrozen.

But if they are doing something wrong they don't have access to money they stole. You shouldn't access too money that you stole. 😂😂

Only use bank of America Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday, the company literally doesn't function on weekends or Monday its unbelievable

There’s an alarming amount of stupid comments here. The problem is not the bank freezing accounts to prevent you from being wiped out by a scammer, the issue is that people are verifying themselves as the account holders of said accounts and STILL not having their account unfrozen!!! Im dealing with this bullshit right now over a 2.99 withdraw being flagged as suspicious. Went to a human teller and nothing was resolved. Called and cant even get a human on the phone.

Literally the exact same thing happened to me except they CLOSED DOWN my account.. not froze it. Just because I've been out of the country for the past month and did not receive their phone calls. How is this legal?

This is why I only keep saving at home instead of using banks for this reason including FBI etc

Years ago, I was a bank customer at Bank of America, so they took over $500 worth of a 10-dollar overdraft, and this is just an instance. So they knew when my direct deposit came in, so they didn’t update what I spent on the webpage, so I could not pay it off, but they waited until my direct deposit went through, then they took the money. They messed up my life significantly. I was working but never had money because of those overdrafts, and I couldn't keep up with my bills. Thanks to God, I was able to move to a different bank, and I learned my lesson: don't trust the banks. I always thought putting money in the bank was the safest place to protect your money, but don't learn from that mistake because putting money in the bank is to help them hurt more people. By the way, I never got my overdraft scam money back from them.

This is the first salvo in the social credit banking system. It will get worse. Once CBDC is here, they will have complete control of your finances.

In my opinion
You would have thought they all would have enough monies from the first bankruptcy in 2008.
Hmmmm
Looks like a repeat.
Looks like
WE THE PEOPLE
are going to bail them out again
Hmmmmm
Wasn't the same guy in office then too.
Wow
I know how I'm voting.
Idiots

This happened to me in 2007. I was on my way that same morning to fly to Mardi Gras LAX to New Orleans and suddenly my Bank of America account was frozen and removed. Within the same hour of realizing my account was frozen I received a phone call from a woman named Rene Simmons out of the Fraud Department in Dallas Texas who proceeded to yell at me stating that "We found you we tracked you down and that's it!". and she hung up on me. I was completely side blinded by both her phone call and my account being frozen and not having funds for my trip to Mardi Gras. My plane ticket was paid so I went and borrowed money and left the problem solving after the weekend. When I returned a few days later I went to several Bank of America locations ALL ignored me. Waiting in the lobby area for over an hour for someone to help me resolve the issue and NO ONE helped me. This is a TRUE Story. They just left me sitting there and never came back to me to help me. I made so many phone calls and basically , some woman and I'm not afraid to say it, but she sounded African American as she had an accent to her speech indicating she was an African American. She never again returned my call and I basically NEVER got my money from that account. It was between $300-$400 in that account. And still to this day I know and convinced the corruption in banks are from the ROGUE and corrupted employees that move under the radar unexposed to hurt innocent people and steal from innocent people for their own personal gains. I never got answers and believe that this company has a network of BLMers or African Americans that bully other employees and bystanders to gain for their personal lives. I worked at Banc of America Securities San Francisco in 1999 to which I was fired after being repeatedly bullied from a group of Black African American women and their security guards and allies to a point of not being able to work and function correctly in the work place. They have a network of lawyers and strong armed bullies and they push the power buttons to see how much they can get away with as a dictatorship without sounding alarms to the mainstream. It's evil .

If you have the ablilty to bank with a credit union, do it today!!!

These banks "BoA, Wells Fargo, Chase, Citibank or PNC " are all part of the banks that took Bailouts, foreclose on people, and gave golden parachutes... Why are everyday people still banking with them is a mystery.

Regulators? More like karens

Lol went to my local bank and the ATM was limited to a certain amount a day the banks are collapsing they use fraud as an excuse to not get you access to your money imagin when the digital currency kicks in use cash sheep

I don't see the problem. If a persons account gets hacked and they lose the money because the person was stupid and gave their account information to the wrong website or person they expect the bank to reimburse them their loss for their stupidity. I'd much rather have a bank that locks my account at the first sign of trouble than one that doesn't. Have more than one bank and bank account, have multiple assets and keep track of them. If one gets frozen because of suspicious activity use the others... it is far far better to have an account locked than to lose money in it from fraud or theft.... come on people... think... use your brains... f%^king do better....

JPMorgan will close your account if they don’t agree with something about YOU or your purchase or your beliefs.

The issue is people MUST avoid BOA. They ARE the worst bank.

While drug lords and crooked politicians accounts remain open.

Does this bank remember when taxpayers bailed them out when the bank committed fraud (predatory lending on home loans). Differant practices for the rich.

Never forget BofA's acquisition of Countrywide and the robosigning of foreclosures in 2009-2010. They paid 1.1B in fines for that nonsense.

BULL, BANKS R JUST BULLIES DOIN TO WHOMEVER THEY WANT TOO , TAKE ALL UR MONEY OUT THE BANK ALL BANKS PERIOD...............

BOA can't be trusted. I've heard that 30 branches are closing. In 2019, when I still had a landline, I received a phone call with the caller ID showing BOA. This person wanted information about all my credit cards and bank accounts. I hung up! Then I called BOA and asked if they were the one who called me. They said no!
I asked how then it was possible for the caller ID to show their name. I was told that sometimes people in the bank use their phones to commit fraud. Go figure!!!

Yet, Epstein's account stayed open despite all of the "suspicious activity."

It's gone the way of other scoundrel banks like another big bank where i use to have an account with

And this bank was among those bailed out in 2008 thereabouts - rewarded even if they totally mismanaged our money.

Can customers sue - because the money you need may mean life or death.
I have a claim on a stolen check and the bank tossed me every which way no matter how hard I followed up on it til I just gave up. So frustrating. I never got refunded as the bank put up all kinds of hurdles that I just stopped following up. I'm a 75 yo senior citizen battling cancer. Is this bank that cruel and insensitive?

Dave Ramsey advises people to avoid Bank of America.

Inflation, bank collapse, severe drought in the agricultural belt, recession, food shortages, diesel fuel and heating oil shortages, baby formula shortages, available automobile shortages and prices, the price of living place. <It's all coming together and it could lead to a real disaster towards the end of this year (or sooner). With inflation currently at about 6%, my primary concern is how to maximize my savings/retirement fund of about $300k which has been sitting duck since forever with zero to no gains.

This has been going on for the last 6-7 months. I work at a community center and people love to talk when they come in. This bank account freezing thing has happened to so many people I can't even count the stories I have been told. All different banks, from all different people. Also bank auto freezing debit cards. This is a test of some kind I'm convinced of it.

That's why I took all my money out 😂

The 10 to 20 days is not acceptable. Try two or three.

Better get gold and silver soon. Cbdc enslavement coming soon!

Credit Unions are a better choice.

Aaahhhhhh HA!!!!…….the account surrounding this story actually highlights a probable scenario. A customer, who is a popular online writer, critical of “injustice” and other “hot button” topics, gets his online email account “hacked” and suddenly has to deal with a situation completely NEW to him, so he reports it to the “FBI”……🤔🤔🤔🤔

Annnnnnnd, of course the “FBI” has never used these tactics before….in order to “compromise” an “asset”, get them to turn state’s evidence in a “forced legal prosecution”, and that they can then use to trumpet out their “Successful Investigation” message for their own “self serving
”purposes to make their agency “appear” to ACTUALLY be doing something….Naaahhhhhhh that NEVER happens…..🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫
💥👊🤣💥👌🤓😎👍

Yeah those FBI folks are the best that money can buy……OFF!!! 💥👊🤣💥😎👍👌🤓

Let's take this as a warning
Digital money will cause more problems like this

Stop using Bank of America! Wells Fargo as well.. If you have money there ITS NOT YOUR MONEY!
