Account Inaccessible to protect it from unusual activityI was locked out. June 5, 2021: Chase Bank, without notice or cause, froze my accounts. Chase threatened to seize my funds, and forward them to the state Controller's Office. NotificationArrived 2 min after failed log-in Why are they closing my account? This tells me nothing. I couldn't access the letter, so I called Chase at Midnight. They validated my identity, and a rep quickly answered. But not to help.???? He instructed me to find a new email message. He then read it word-for-word. Chase freezes accounts with form letters Chase rep refused to engage on a human level or respond to questions. He stayed on script and reiterated my accounts were flagged, along with my phone number, nothing more. He urged me to collect:
And ordered me to report to my Chase Branch on Monday. I asked if my funds were safe. Now frustrated, he described his authority to initiate a full account garnishment now. I can deal with the Controller's office if I persisted. I confess I was intimidated. I didn't know what was happening, and they had my money. I mistakenly believed I had nothing to fear. I'm a long-time customer in good standing. That didn't matter anymore. Coinbase notification & call"How do I know this isn't a scam?" was my first question. Coinbase doesn't call customers.

Coinbase Pro transfers over $10K fall under Chase's origin audit. Chase meetingLittle to discuss. Instead, I sat silent while admonished that
Now satisfied that I had been put in my place, Chase reinstated access. I left an hour later with a check for my account funds. They were genuinely stunned I closed the account.???? ___Not just meSeeing this tweet triggered a PTSD moment. I DM'd Hayden, and he described an identical experience. Hayden shared the following tweets and believes the issue goes well beyond crypto. Brian Quintenz, former Commissioner of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Not just people in crypto. Chase Bank freezes and strong-arms customer accounts as a business practice. Run a Google search and find the same story played out across the nation. They do it simply because they can. Worse yet, this practice is becoming sector wide. These two posts are from a Facebook Group Please be mindful of this. Protect yourself, and best of luck to you.???? [link] [comments] |
