Today, my credit card got blocked. Apparently, my bank thinks buying a $130 flat iron online is suspicious. FML

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Surprise!
Today, my bank, being overly paranoid about fraud, declined my Christmas purchase on Amazon because I usually don't spend that much all at once. Instead of Amazon simply asking to try the card again, they instead switched to a different card in the wallet. Which would be fine, except it's a shared family account. FML

Today, my fiancé and I got a joint account recently, but when I got home he was on the phone to the bank claiming our credit card number was cloned, because of the ridiculous number of random purchases. I checked my online banking. It was all just my normal buying habits. FML

Make it make sense
Today, I had to contact my bank because their fraud department thought me buying gifts for 7 different people for Christmas was fraud. It wouldn't be a big deal, except they then wouldn't accept the original purchase and I had to go to the website to get the purchase to go through a second time. My bank is paranoid. FML

Hey, Big Spender!
Today, I put a lock on my account because of several unknown purchases for large amounts. Turns out it was my girlfriend, without asking. Who is now mad at me for blocking her parcels. FML

Today, I finally picked up my new bank card after my old one was stolen. It took the bank six weeks and five separate orders to figure it out, on top of which they've charged me a rush fee. FML

Today, I found out my credit card was maxed out to the penny, all thanks to purchases made on an online wine store. Apparently my mother was thirsty enough to steal from her own son. FML

Today, after my bank sent me a new card because the old one had been compromised, I woke up to find that it's already been used to start an Amazon Prime account and order several movies. The card to replace a compromised card has been compromised. FML

Well with today's economy, buying a flat iron for 130 is not the most frugal thing to do. If it's for your line of work that's ok I guess, but for personal use only that's a little much. Could it be your spending pattern has got a little out of hand. Hey!! Maybe you won the lottery!!

That is a ridiculous amount to pay for a hair tool that fries your hair.

Mine was once frozen while trying to buy lunch... for 80 bucks. So 130 does not surprise me. It's such a pain though.

you obviously don't spend much on your card. I spent $1,000 and they approved it right away. maybe your limit is so low they got suspicious that suddenly you're spending bigger amounts. either way, if this fkked your life up, you need a bigger income and better tolerance, it takes longer to reverse fraudulent charges than to call and say hey I wanted that item, put the charge through.

That *is* a little suspicious. Who would actually blow 130 bucks on something that's purpose is to destroy your hair and make it look and feel like straw?
