    Not buying that you're innocent here.

    Your actions reek to high heaven of money laundering.

    Perhaps you should be looking for a solicitor, not advice on how to keep bank accounts open.
  • If I wanted to make money and partake in the activities I could of been complicit and withdrawn the money when my bank account was active and received a cut of money but there was no way I wanted to be a part of it hense me reporting my bank card as stolen
  • I have told them that the money isn’t mine but they keep saying sorry I need to pass you over to ‘said’ person or ring this number etc and aren’t really listening or recording anything I’m telling them im guessing if they’ve closed my account then they know the money was stolen so will withhold the funds or I will have to return the cheque

    Someone tried to use my llyods account for fraud, and I was told to withdraw laundered money but I refused

    Why didn't you take the matter to the police? Doing nothing isn't going to solve your problems. As assume that the other party is going to want their money returned.

    I feel your not giving the full details here. Where did the money come from?
  • I’m not sure what these people could do if they found out I reported them to the police especially considering they have all of my details and my family / parents address, they are serious criminals and do this with hundreds of people so I expect with that amount of money it’s not hard for them to retaliate against me. Also to open up a case and incriminate myself possibly by looking complicit *even though I refused to withdraw money* seems daunting compared to just letting the bank close my account.

    Also there’s a lot of money muling that happens in my city with people my age and these people have done this with my friends who have been complicit so they assumed I would be too
  • I have no idea where stolen money comes from. It’s just one of those bank card scams
  • They are from another city to me and the money was put into my bank and I received emails telling me to return the money via western union which I!!!8217;m guessing is a scam in itself because that would be me withdrawing it and acting as a mule for them to clean their funds
