I wouldn't be too worried just yet, the bank may have just been making sure you were the one behind sending the funds...don't overreact....this was probably just a routine check up by them....Remember identity theft and bank fraud are only getting worse....I am curious if you actually spoke to anyone?
People who are making fun should think more about it...the man had a serious question.

I thought about it and decided that it would have been a serious thread if he had taken the time to call the bank and ask them what the hold was for prior to posting.
If every poster on this forum starts a thread when they have a hold, NSF, or checking problem hitting the panic button without even knowing what it's about; It would be a mess.
ALL RIGHT FOLKS I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH MY BANK.
1. IM SORRY FOR FREAKING OUT, IM AT WORK AND I WANTED QUICK ANSWERS, SO I WOULDN'T BE MORE CLUELESS THAN I ALREADY AM.
2. i BANK AT xxxxx BANK, IM A SMALL TIME PLAYER, I DEPOSITED $200 ONE DAY AFTER ANOTHER, THAN I USED THE CREDIT CARD OPTION ON BODOG.
3.THE GUY FROM THE BANK ASKED IF I WAS FAMILIAR WITH THE AMOUNT AND WHERE THE CHARGES WERE GOING.
4.I TOLD HIM I BOUGHT A BOOK FOR SCHOOL WITH THE WESTERN UNION.
5. THE MOST INTERESTING THING WAS THE CREDIT CARD CHARGE, tHE GUY AT THE BANK SAID THAT THE COMPANY WHICH IS CALLED xxxxx COMPUTER WAS ONE HE HAD NEVER HEARD OF AND ONE THAT WAS SHOWING UP ON MANY OF HIS CLIENTS CHARGES. HE THEN ASKED ME WHAT I WAS BUY FROM xxxxxx, I MADE A BULLSHIT STORY UP ABOUT COMPUTERS AND A CLASS IM TAKING. I GUESS WE'LL FIND OUT HOW LONG THAT WILL LAST.
THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE WHO RESPONDED KINDLY, AND NOT SO KINDLY, I REALIZE THAT WHENEVER YOU POST YOUR PUTTING YOURSELF OUT THERE, ALTHOUGH I WAS REALLY FREAKING OUT.
I HOPE THIS HELPS OTHERS

Guess you handled it different than I would of by telling a story.
I would have just said fuck you, thats my business not yours and opened a new account at the millions of banks in the area.
No need to freak out on these types of things, you have to think - whats the worst that could happen? They send you a check and close your account? They won't be calling the head of the FBI on his cell phone for $200 dollars.

I guess US banks are part of the Federal governments spy on citizens task force.
I went into a US bank today and presented a $20 bill and requested quarters (so we can do our laundry at the condo we are renting). When the teller asked if I had an account I said no. She then went into the back before returning and taking the quarters from her drawer.
Makes me wonder if there are illegal coin slots around here somewhere!
