...in any case, this is definitely scrollworthy material. :thumbsup:😀

EDIT: I think I've found out what PAB stands for...

Nope, she didnt print it on an official letterhead!

Call the number in the morning, it worked for me.

Poor woman... if she exists, she's probably gonna get the ATOT effect tomorrow morning.

"Riverside National Bank, this is Nicole..."
"Uh, sorry, wrong number... <click>"

...all day long. 😛

I must say that I wouldn't be surprised if the whole thing is made up. What kind of bank sends a letter like that on a plain piece of paper, no letter head or *anything.* Not making a definite claim, just saying I wouldn't be surprised.

I can't make this stuff up. In fact, you guys raise an excellent point. It's as if they wanted plausible deniability...... I'll have to speak to a branch manager about it.

I just called it, let it ring about 20 times then it stops ringing.

Wouldn't you assume a bank would have voicemail?

Hmmn 😕

It is *Florida* after all, maybe they don't have it yet. I still can't get over the letterhead thing. I mean WHAT kind of bank sends letters like that on a plain piece of printer paper? 😕

I'm now waiting for the Pretty Amazing Bullcrap thread where the bank's "Operations Manager" gets fired for closing an account without authorization because she holds a mysterious grudge against PAB. THOSE MORONS!! 😛

Thanks for this entertainment. I was depressed because ABC cancelled Day Break, so I needed some other outlet to provide me a little made-up drama. :thumbsup:😀

I was more interested in the signature. When I think of a female signature it certainly doesn't look like that. I could be wrong.
 
There are three ways to look at this story.

1. The story is complete and utter shens. If so, bad PAB.
2. PAB knows why but is only telling us half the story. If so, bad PAB.
3. PAB has no clue why the bank did this and is telling us everything. If so, PAB has grossly overestimated his financial acumen, because there is definitely a reason.

Having a tough time figuring out a scenario where PAB is really a finance wizard who was randomly selected for account closing and has no clue why and has told us the whole story.

When a person has as many issues as you seem to it is usually an indicator that that person is a stupid idiot.

Or a lying attention whore with nothing better to do than jerk off over "pulling another one off on those fools on ATOT!!2111@@!!"

But on the off chance that he's actually telling the truth, I wonder how much his bank loves him being such a gangsta, packing a concealed weapon with him at all times, even into banks (as he's claimed numerous times) and having large amounts of cash on him at regular intervals (exceeding 10k). If he's telling the truth about all of these things, they probably think he's a drug dealer.
 
Banks may not like consective serial number 100's being deposited.

Or the DEA dogs barking attempting to follow you into the lobby.

Yet very suspicious that there is no letterhead.
 
Anyone call Nicole yet? 😀

EDIT: It's lunchtime on the East Coast... so don't be surprised if she "forgot" to forward to voicemail during lunch too. 😛

Its not random. Like I said, they their security department wants to close my account. If I had to guess, they probably think I'm some kind of underworld hitman and dont want the heat.

Well, shady yes, but I think underworld hitman is giving too much credit to a dolt like yourself. 😉

This is PAB's M.O. He always gives just a little bit of the story at the beginning because it makes the story more sensational, then the details trickle out. I have no doubt PAB has at least a good idea why they closed his account.

does this prove taht PAB is a liar?

No, I think it was proven long ago. And, unlike the .999...=1 threads and the plane on a treadmill threads, everyone actually came to agreement after the first proof. Now, it's just becoming over-kill.

edit: Just a shot in the dark here... maybe it wasn't a regular checking account; maybe it was an interest bearing account which limits the number of transactions w/o penalty per quarter or per year.

you have got to be kidding

yes, the bank has a great big evil conspiracy against you to close your bank account and steal the 50 bucks you probably had in there, and just in case they get caught in their dastardly scheme, they can say..."we didn't do it! we were framed!"

you're a self-important immature halfwit and if a semi was to run you down tomorrow i would laugh a little inside

When I worked at a bank, we only closed accounts for two reasons.

1. Abuse of account terms (e.g. too many overdrafts, too many withdrawals from a non-DDA account).

2. Abuse of employees. We had one client who was consistently rude to all of us in Deposit Operations. We all knew her by name, and we all hated dealing with her. This woman exemplified the term "B****". Her account officer found out, took pity on us peons, and closed her account, even though she never overdrew. The letter the account officer sent was amazingly similar to the one PAB shows (except that ours had letterhead). 😛

So PAB, which is it? Or is it shenzy?
