can a bank freeze your account on enquires

[deonarinedarren1]

for faudalent activities

[dzug2]

Yes - they may even have been ordered to do so by the SFO

Assuming I understand the question correctly

[daffy654]

Yes.

[boxtops]

You mean they suspect fraud and they are investigating? If so, yes.

[cathfromsaron]

yes, but they should give you access to funds by another means! x

[boxtops]

I'm not so sure about that, cath, if they think the funds are obtained fraudulently they won't let you draw them out.

[cathfromsaron]

ah, i presumed he meant that activities on the account were fraudulent and he had reported them ...

like when someone illegally uses your card?

[boxtops]

Ah, I see what you mean - we need deo to clarify, but I read it that the money IN the account is potentially fraudulently obtained.

[cathfromsaron]

ah, if you have been *naughty* then you have been busted!

[deonarinedarren1]

no it is my salary going in the account but i deposited a check and it had a wrong signiture

[daffy654]

Judging by your spelling cheque as check i'm assuming you are in the USA, if that is the case you may need to repost your question on a US based site, this one is mainly UK posters and your laws are very different to ours.

My account was frozen recently for 24 hours because I made a purchase on ebay at 4am which was considered 'unusual'. It was only when I returned home that I had to sort the mess out. For the record the item purchased was less than £10!
