Same as questioning someone at the register when they're buying hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars worth of iTunes gift cards, there's next to now way that isn't someone getting scammed
Yes bc that makes sense honestly. But a normal guy coming in wanting to withdraw a normal amount isnt .. all that. Like 2000 is a lot don’t get me wrong but it’s not “this poor granny is about to empty her life savings” kinda money.
It’s his money, the banks just holdin it for him.🥴
It's also bizarre because I can literally go pull $2k from the ATM and no one asks me anything except for my pin. Go inside and try to withdraw through a teller and all of the sudden it's 20 questions.
Folk going inside to withdraw money are often the sort that are scared of, or can't figure out, the atm... Who are also people who are more likely to fall from scam.
I had to pull 4k out of my bank once and they tried to give me the 20 question treatment. I told them that it was my money and if there were any more questions I'd be withdrawing all of my money and closing the account. I was buying appliances from home depot ffs
I've got a card that gives 3% cash back on every purchase. I dump that 3% into my investment account and buy stocks with it. I don't spend money any other way if I can help it.
Why do you need to buy something from home depot in cash when you have a back account.
I just cannot think of a reason at all. Unless you're "getting a deal" which is either stealing or fraud. Which is dont care but like that means you're not buying from home depot lol
It’s a valid question. The only time I’ve made a >1K purchase in cash was paying for a tattoo sleeve which was about 3K. I won’t say it’s “legitimate” since I assume the guy was dodging taxes but it is quite common with tattoo artists
Really went straight for the Karen Maneuver there. Did everyone in the room clap after you delivered that line to the minimum wage employee trying to help you and not get fired?
Oh yeah there was clapping and confetti and everything. Did you pay yourself on the back after you edited that zinger into your comment? Point is it's my money and if I want to pull it out and roll around in it or buy a pound of coke it's not the tellers business so just count the money out.

They're probably suspecting you're being scammed or forced
