Debit Card Cancelled for Buying Guns
I have been buying up guns and ammo since sept. 2011

I buy mostly online and have guns shipped to my local gun store, ammo comes straight to my house

2 weeks ago my debit card got denied while getting gas

my bank says they saw suspicious activity on the account

I asked what was suspicious, they said several purchases from my local gun store

I only pay the transfer fee at the gun store, just $15 per order

Anyway, I still haven't been able to get my card reinstated and the bank keeps transferring the issue to different departments

I just thought this was strange cause i buy everything with my debit card, haven't carried cash in over 5 years and I cannot imagine why after 2 months of heavy gun buying they would raise a red flag over transfer fees

Utter bullshit, and one of the reasons I only use a local bank...

I show up and complain, and get shit taken care of immediately...

Last year a teller tried to give me an 800 number, and I told her flatly, "I am standing here now, and this will be resolved before I leave"...

CS agent I usually deal with saw me, and waved me over...

Problem solved in 2 minutes...

Go in and complain...Phones are worthless...

Re: Debit Card Cancelled for Buying Guns
It makes me wonder

I have other accounts with different banks but this is my primary personal account

I'm still buying but using another debit card

It's just weird the way it went down and the way they are handling it

I have been buying a lot of guns and ammo

I have joked about it with the clerk at the gun store every time I go in to pick up an order how I hope the don't flag me for buying so much

every time I have to fill out that form for approval and everything I have bought is legal and documented

very strange,

scared

this is just the beginning folks.


they know everything you do.

those reward/points cards were never intended to give you back anything but to data-mine & profile everything you purchase.

the coming cashless society - they caan shut you off for whatever & whenever they want.

welcome to the new world order.

Re: Debit Card Cancelled for Buying Guns
My warehouse got broke into back in August

Before that I hadn't ever shot a gun, always been scared of them

As soon as I bought one I wanted another and another

very addicting but its really fun to shoot and I just want to have guns in case shit goes bad

I really hope I don't get shipped off to guantanemo or whatever, it's just my hobby right now and I am no danger to anyone

Anyway, guns are great, no reason to be scared once you know how to handle them I just wonder if this a bank thing or something else

I have had this account forever, I buy everything with it and have never had an issue like this

Re: Debit Card Cancelled for Buying Guns
Actually, something like this happened to me too. I bought gun parts and some long term (prepper type) food items, and MasterCard put a temporary hold on my account.. the week of Christmas! Said reason was "suspected fraud". This hold didn't come from my local bank, it came from the debit MasterCard.

I would close that account and never do business with them again. Pretty simple

I used to be a cash buyer but the debit card is so convenient

The best deals on guns I can find are on the web so cash isn't an option

I haven't bought anything crazy, nothing fully automatic Class 3 or whatever just a lot of guns and a lot of ammo

Re: Debit Card Cancelled for Buying Guns
It sounds like that bank and that card are bad news. Find a new bank and card. Best bet is don't go anywhere that had any thing to do with the govenment money. I recommend a credit union rather than a bank. I have done the same thing and never had a problem. My credit union has called me about "suspicious activity", but it had nothing to do with guns. It was just really large purchases, or purchases out of my area of the country. They have never called about an online purchase. Ditch the bank and their card!
Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.

Take your money out of that nest of vipers and over to a small local bank or credit union. That way you can have some control and personal relationships with the people there, and get away from the fascists in the big banks. Be sure you keep enough cash at home for when things get rough.
