They closed my bank account because they thought i was a terrist
Long story short.
Card wouldn't work. Went to bank.
Due to some new act they're implementing they froze my account to stop outside funds coming into the country and going to terrorists.
I transfer quite a bit of money from my uk account to my american one when cash is short. Cash transfers of no more than 100 pounds a time.....but 100 pounds is still 100 pounds - enough to buy 6kg of C4, a decomissioned nuclear warhead, you know, big time stuff.
They brought me in, got me to give my address (which they already had, you know, the one they've sent the bank statements to for the last FIVE MONTHS) and then my account was unfrozen.
ISA CRAYZEE!

Hurrah!
The only thing I've ever had frozen was my cash card, and that was because of a minor misunderstanding between me and my bank.
Apparently not using your card for 3 years, and not responding to any correspondence is grounds to steal your card in Tesco's carpark.
Banks, these days.

Yeah, i'd still have a frozen bank account but i'd:
1.) be hated
2.) Smell
3.) Would do my patriotic duty and surrender
4.) would be married to a bird with hairy pits.

No, the manager was just as shocked as i was. Her jaw dropped when they told her the reason over the phone. No point going ape at her.
They'll pay. The infidels will pay. My time will come, i will receive a phone call and I will join allah and get me some 13 year old virgin....or was it 13 virgins.....I forget, anyway, they'll pay.
ps - no, i'm not muslim or from a muslim country.

it happens on a regular basis with dads card in the states. basically if they see 2-3 largish transactions within a short space of time they lock the card.
you have to phone the uk and tell them your who you say you are etc etc. tis a pain.

For me it's an american bank, not an english one.
Yeah, it hasn't been the first time they did it to me. This is the first time it's happenned because they thought I was a terrist.
1st time: 2 weeks after opening the account. Doing lots of buying, you know, food, sheets, clothes. They said they were worried because so many purchases were being made on it.
Well thanks a lot for your cash machine eating the card and it taking you 2 weeks to send a replacement!
2nd time: Just bought a new dell PC. Froze it because it was 'a large transaction'.
In other words YOU CAN'T SPEND YOU MONEY THESE DAYS. It's like having a mother confiscating your card off you.
3rd time: original post.
SOMEONE DOESN"T WANT ME SPENDING MONEY.

France also provided passports and fake identities to groups like Al-Queda in return for not having things blown up. One of those "with friends like these, who needs enemies" scenarios...I think the only reason we didn't blow them up was they were NATO.
Needless to say, we don't like the french much and any french citizen fitting the "profile" is probably in for a hard time.
