     But even you must admit, the level of accounts coming under scrutiny seems to be on the increase. 
    I have not done anything wrong and I am hiding nothing so I am not sure what I should admit............

    I have absolutely no data on how many accounts are coming under scrutiny, so therefore I don't know whether there is an increase or not. Have you got any statistics on this that you can share?

    What I do know is that we have seen what appears to be more reports of account blocking and account closures here on MSE. For most of which we never hear the final outcome, and for all of which we only have what the account holder reports. 

    BTW, you didn't answer my earlier Q to you.

     
    Sorry, what was the question again?
    I came into this world with nothing and I've got most of it left.

    My son is a student, he has never done any of those things.

    So you have actually seen with your own eyes his bank statements for the last 12 months?
    Yes.
    Could you post on here all the deposits into the account for last 6 months? We do not need name and account details.
    Only if you post yours too.
    Never mind - none of my accounts have ever been blocked due to misuse, criminal activity or money laundering. I don't believe that you have even looked at the statements because like all students they will claim to have mislaid, lost, destroyed etc etc.
    Nice story though - brightened my day.

    Sorry Shakin - I have done it again - I thought that it was your son that was having his account closed not the original OP - I really hate this new forum layout!
