Bank locked my account due to suspicious activity. Can't unlock till Monday.
Fuck. Fuck. Fuckity, fuck.
That doesn’t sound right. Isn’t there a 24/7 number?
I ran em. Need to present photo ID at a branch...
Have you got food and a little cash? Hoping the weekend flies by
Yeah I'm OK. I frantically messaged a friend and he was super cool about it. I feel really grateful for that :)
Dafuq, what kind of bank locks you out over the weekend??! Surely there's a way through. People get stuck overseas at all hours AEST...
Need to present at a branch with ID
That sounds really messed up. How on earth would this be managed if you were overseas?! And with branches being few and far between this really sucks. After the commbank outage recently I'm starting to think it might be beneficial to have accounts with multiple banks as a backup.
If you were out east side I'd spot you some cash... will you be OK for today and tomorrow?
I really, really appreciate that. That's incredibly kind of you ❤️ I reached out to a friend who was happy to help out.
But again, thank you :)
Oh man. The hops which they send you through to fix your account is atrocious.
My one beef is that they keep sliming down branch locations and opening hours and it’s next to impossible to get it fixed at times.
I hope it’ll be fixed for you soon. Keep us updated!
You gotta stop giving those drug dealers an upfront payment before getting the goods. Especially if they tell you to desposit it via cashapp or PayPal lol.
Always cash when buying, and no pre-payment lol
Nah jokes aside that's fucked up! Like wtf? And the fact they did it on the weekend when they aren't open is evil. There isn't an after hours number you could call? Or something you could do via the online portal? Idk I'm sorry
Gibson must have been buying catnip and temptations treats from the dark Web lol
But yeah it sucks. Mate jumped in and helped :)
