Anyone else have thier banks calling and asking questions them this week …
No, but I just moved to a new bank.
What did they ask? When I opened the new account they asked if I had any dealings with online gambling and I said no.
mine is a really small bank and never have questioned me before. She said with the Patriot Act she had some questions and could not remember what I did for a living and why I would have so many wires coming in, I said I do SEO and online marketing. Then she was just really friendly and said oh thats right I remember now about how you do a lot of traveling etc and that was all. I have heard others have been called this week and it may have something to do with wires coming from QT.. Man I don’t even have all my money coming to 1 bank account this really annoys me.
The other person that was called they said…do you gamble on line and he said no I market for companies.
Good god, so much for the US being the land of the free. Thanks to Bush pushing through the Patriot Act, the US is becoming a Big Brother state.
When I opened my account, I told them I would receive international wires.
Then they asked from which countries.
I said English and German speaking countries.
They said so these are not terrorist connected countries.
So this is the patriot act. But they did ask about gambling too…
