I tried to place an order for a product from Great Britain,and my bank blocked it,saying something about fraud.It has absolutely nothing to do with gambling.
Ive been ordering from this place for over 2 years off and on and never had any fraud problems or anything close.I suspect my bank is wary because Ive used the bank account for my withdraws.Is this a crock of sht or what?Has anyone else had a similiar problem?
I think we all might be tagged by the feds,watching our accounts now.Can you say,control,control,control!
Our true freedoms are disappearing people.It will soon be gone,specially with a national ID card.

Meh, probably has zero to do with gambling or cashing out. Just call your bank and ask why it was blocked.

I was a manager in fraud for a major credit card company for years. There is ZERO chance your blocked transaction has anything at all to do with the fact that you used your credit card for poker account withdrawals.

Call your credit card company and they will tell you why the purchase is blocked. If it is not your card that is blocked then it is 100% related to the place you attempted to make a purchase. It doesn't mean the business is fraudulent - it could be a lot of things. Their system could have been hacked and credit card numbers put at risk. There could be a huge fraud ring doing test charges with that business - so many things could have happened. Your credit card company will not share the details with you but they will tell you something.

But it is definitely not what you are suspecting.

It could be just standard security measures, making sure your bankcard hasn't been used for fraud.

Like Dakota says, just ring the bank, they will most likely just put you through the standard security checks and activate it again as the amount of internet bank fraud is so sky high.
