I ‘Lost’ All My Money In Just 2 Days
The Banks holding my money, froze and closed my accounts!
My money was always safe:
I kept it in two bank accounts, and managed it for years without the need to go to visit an actual bank. Anytime I needed cash, or wanted to pay a bill or buy something; pay a subscription, etc. all I had to do was go to a cash machine, tap my card, or go online to internet banking. I could even (in an old-fashioned way), write out a cheque if I needed to.
Last week, all that changed … in two days!
Last week it all came to an unexpected end … suddenly and without notice, and for the first time in my life I had no access to money … none!
Both banks cut me off:
BANK №1:
This bank’s bank-cards wouldn’t function properly, and when I went onto internet banking to pay some bills, this is what happened:
Wanting to use my usual bill-pay system I logged into the bank’s website as usual … put in all the passwords and codes-of-protection (as I had always done), and pressed ‘ENTER”.
I waited for the screen to change … to show my account page so that I could progress to the bill-pay section, but NO! … No account page appeared…
