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

Today, I waited until the last minute to do my Christmas shopping. Today, I also discovered that my bank account has been frozen due to suspicious activity. FML

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

Little did YOU know, it was a plutonium infused flatiron. They were doing you and your radiation levels a favor.

It was Bank of America wasn't it? I used to work for them in the "fraud" department.. They're not good people -,-

Well better safe than sorry? You should be glad that your bank takes precautions with online purchasing. I don't understand doesn't it make you feel secure? I understand it's an annoyance so fyl for that but like I said, better to be safe than sorry

Flat iron $30 @ walmart, but you'd rather spend an extra $100 just to buy one online.....wow....maybe you should just cancel your account, cut up your card & not ever gave to worry about being blocked again. :)

The ones online are way better

It's not the "online" that costs more, it's the quality. Go to a store that specializes in beauty products, and you'll see them everywhere from $20 to $400. I use a $30 one, personally, but to each their own. I'm sure the expensive ones can be very nice.

The only reason I paid so much is because I'm in a scene band and it gets really hot on stage and when you sweat you hair gets really wet lol but the one I hade kept my hair the way I straightened it after my hair dries after the show XD

Mine's been blocked for buying a new laptop before. Yeah, banks have weird reasons. But as stated above...wtf was with a $130 flat iron?

Your an idiot. If your not buying a flat iron everyday or something from that sight they see it as abnormal and not something you usually do, so they protect u against fraudulent charges and block your card until you confirm it was you.
