KW: I find this situation interesting. Wonder if someone should look into it for potential problems or background problems?
Last night, my husband tried to donate to an environmental charity on-line. He tried with two credit cards, on-line. Neither way worked. Finally, he gave up.
But…
In the morning, his bank called to ask him about unusual activity.
My husband reports that the bank told him there is a “block” on “all charities”, due to a current Red Cross scam.
Some thoughts we had:
-Could this be a way to slow funds to the Middle East revolutions?
-Could this be a response to Wikileaks?
-Is this coming from one bank, many banks, and/or a government directive to banks?
We look forward to hearing more information from our readers and/or the various charities we contacted about the situation. We will posts any updates or further information.
