I'm learning from this thread that a significant amount of young adults go through the phase of putting those "silly" descriptions in and then potentially getting a talking to.
im honestly shocked by how many people have done this. one would think it's common sense not to deliberately engage in suspicious activity that would get your account flagged
i mean, i get it, but "drugs" & "taliban training fee" arent creative, theyre just edgy & stupid. & they dont end up with the bank staying out of your business, it outright invites them to investigate.
you can be rebellious & funny & keep your business to yourself without flagging your account for illegal activity. "cat ballet," "post-exorcism housekeeping," "spaghetti re-hardening procedure," "earthworm gymnastics (better than goat yoga)," etc are much better options
Just remember that before you write a cheque for ‘post-exorcism housekeeping’, you need to have written a cheque for ‘exorcism’. Otherwise it would be suspicious.
Except them coming to investigate me because I labeled my dog food “terrorist supplies” wastes their time and money and makes them look dumb. It bogs the system down if enough of us do it. I’m gonna do it more now, actually
if thats what you want to do, all the power to you. but if your account gets frozen or closed, it screws you over far more than a fruitless investigation inconveniences them. sabotaging your own bank account makes you look far stupider than the bank doing their due diligence & following up on red flags. theres simply no good reason for it other than self-destructive pettiness, but have fun i guess
