bank of America has a atm suspicious activity program which use to be voluntary but now seems to be mandatory. although some still say you can opt out, I try what they say to do it but so far no luck. this sounds great in theory but it is actual harassment. they freeze you card, the only way you know it is them is by e-mail or phone call. if your in a store and do n't have a cell phone, your screwed as everyone thinks your out of money or them the trans has to be void and you leave in shame and once you get home and call them or get the e-mail, then your on hold to get to a person for XXXX minutes, then the person wondersw why your upset- well duh!!!!. then in my case since I was at the drug store getting medicine I have to face the embarrassment of going back there to finish what I started. this would not be so bad if I had not already done what the rep told me to do last month when they froze my card for suspicious activity at the same store. so when I got the rep on the phone I went through the list of where I work, where I shop, the drug store, everywhere I might use the card so this would not happen again, they said that this was what I needed to do since they could not find a way to opt me out of this nightmare. low and behold I get up on the day before XXXX, buy a XXXX book from XXXX, which I told bank of America I was a junkie for, and go to the drug store and post office, which I told them I go to and guess what, they freeze it and I have to walk out the drug store, no medicine XXXX drive home check the mail, call them, wait on hold XXXX minutes, answer stupid questions all for a im sorry, then go through the embarrassment of going back to the store and not having them think I am a broke moocher. if bank America would go back to letting this be optional or finding a way to let people opt out of this esp if they already have this service from others then things would be a lot better
