tyrion70: the transactions are prolly flagged as fraudulent..
Namworld: Not the amount of transactions which is a problem. That's my guess.
Namworld: And they now investigate the whole thing and whatever.
Namworld: No, probably because the account owners of those email transfers reported it as theft.
tyrion70: it's because if they don't do that the criminals will start sending the money to some bum on the street with a bank account...
gesell: Namworld: so why did they close or put a hold on your account? because you had a lot of transactions? I'm just wondering if for some reason i also have a lot of transactions if they would do this
tyrion70: now you are the "villain"
Namworld: Really, I think the issues are worse than the 300 yeah
tyrion70: yeah but the whole investigation and blocked cards suck bigtime..
Namworld: Yeah... well at worse 300 which is the only one I've been able to deposit and released escrow.
tyrion70: apparently that's what happening in Europe as well with sepa transfers..
nubbins`: the email is essentially just a link to a transaction id
tyrion70: so basically the senders account were prolly hacked and now u pay the price?
tyrion70: ahh okay thats good...
nubbins`: there's also a "security question" you have to answer, chosen by the sender
nubbins`: you log in, and you're asked which account the money will be deposited to
nubbins`: it brings you to your bank's login page
nubbins`: you click the link in your email
tyrion70: okay, isn't that kinda unsafe?
Namworld: It's kinda like an ATM withdrawal. It's instant deposit to the other account when the user receives and deposit from his email.
tyrion70: ah.. never heard of that interac email thingy.. but good to know.. and indeed sucks..
Namworld: You can send from your bank account funds to an email address from most banks here.
Namworld: And that only the 6xx attempts are an issue.
Namworld: Cause the only BTC I released from escrow is for the 300.
Namworld: I hope the 300 was legit. and just the 600s I got later that evening are ok.
gesell: Namworld: can you explain more about that or have you somewhere else?
tyrion70: what country is that namworld?
Namworld: Now after over a month I'm asked if I have an account at X other bank and I'm told I have to call them anyway.
Namworld: My debit card has been suspended since and I keep having to do transaction in person with two proof of identity with photos cause they're investigating my account.
Namworld: I put an online sell ad for transfer (Interac E-mail transfer). Got one for 300 bucks, it went through. Got another for ~600, got declined. And got like 3-4 more within minutes for also ~600 from different accounts all sent to my email. Didn't try to cash those.
Namworld: Well apparently I'll be hot water for a while. Will have to jump hoops. If you use localbitcoins, do cash in hand transactions only.

mircea_popescu: nubbins` tis true.
