If you were asian, yea you can tell by the last name. How can you tell a black man by his last name?

This is why people don't like black people, including other black people

They're all named Washington or Freeman...or Jones.

I haven't whined about something here for months. (I think.)

Maybe true - only because we just started a new month:hmm:

You find racism around every corner because you go looking for it.

I've bought tons of shit with my debit card ranging from cheap $5 items to over $3k and never had an issue.

I bought an iPad and all of a sudden Chase decides to put a fraud alert on my debit card. Fuck Chase, I guess they think that minorities can't afford iPads.

Can you imagine how poor I looked trying to buy lunch with my debit card in a place I go to every other day, and get denied? (They let me eat for free though!)

Minorites should never use Chase. Racist ass bank.


How the hell can they tell you're a minority from your last name? Virtually all black people in the US have anglosaxon last names.

Is your whole racist shtick a joke? I don't recall you posting such nonsense years ago.

It's because in your credit application you said you were straight male so buying an iPad through up tons of red flags

This, although shens they thought you were actually straight

If you were asian, yea you can tell by the last name. How can you tell a black man by his last name?

Badewa? Mutumbe? Not too hard.

Or it could be because the Apple store is an extremely popular place to use stolen credit/debit cards? Expensive items that can be quickly sold for cash.

So yeah, you using your debit card to buy lunch every day, and then suddenly buying an iPad from the Apple store triggered their fraud alogrithm. Be thankfully it worked properly. I've had my Debit card # stolen and they got nearly $8k out of my checking account within 30 minutes before it hit their fraud detector and the account was shut down. Took a couple weeks to get that money back into my account. (having a debit card fraudulently used is a much bigger pain in the ass than a credit card)

You admit that your signature looked funny, though...

Could that have set it off? Do they check every signature. (It was waaaaaaaay off the way that I usually sign it.) Is there a computer that compares signatures?

I think I was just bitter because I had a card declined in front of my co-workers...lol

I wanted to pay with my Discover Card instead, but I haven't activated my new card yet. I really don't like making gadget purchases with a debit card.

Calling Chase and telling them it was an authorized purchase would have taken far less time than it took to get out your race card and type this stupid thread.
