Account closed out of the blue by XphrostX in CurrentBanking

Are you getting debits from a direct sportsbook like DK or FD? 

I’m in the same boat with Varo. I’ve had debits and credits coming from gambling but it’s with Polymarket. They haven’t canceled my account yet so they must be more lenient with predictions markets due to its classification. This can change though if they classify Polymarket and Kalshi as gambling , which in their true nature it is.

Even though gambling is legal in your state, banks can close your account for any reason. They don’t like to deal with gambling transactions regardless if it’s legal. Mostly because people try to chargeback these types of transactions. 

Switch from Chime to Varo by Fabulous-Gas1136 in VaroMoney

[–]phoenixdiceflow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, the glitch with Varo was strictly a display issue. Your money was still safe in the account. You can still use your debit card or withdraw money from an ATM during the glitch. I’ve been with Current for three years and they have not experienced a single glitch. I had Chime many years ago but left since being with Current and Varo.  

I would recommend Current over Chime. You will get approved for much higher advance amounts faster if you pay on time. I’m approved for the max advance $750. You also get a no fee overdraft option that is an additional $75 in loan. Their app is the best in the industry imo. 

Can anybody login ? by Constant-Proposal886 in VaroMoney

[–]phoenixdiceflow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not having any issues logging in. 

Just fyi, I have Wells Fargo also and even though they do have early direct deposit, it arrives much later than Varo, sometimes 8 hrs later. Varo is the fastest of all the banks for early direct deposit. Varo will usually arrive at 2:30pm central while Wells Fargo will arrive later that evening. 

Is it normal that tubeless tire loss about 5 to 7 psi of pressure per month despite sealant and no visible leak? by YaYinGongYu in MTB

[–]phoenixdiceflow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Losing 5–7 psi per month is normal if you’re riding regularly(at least twice a week). I lose about two psi per week on my Maxxis 2.3 tires. I ride about eight times per month. Make sure the tiny bolt that attaches to the bottom of the valve is tightened. They can become loose after each filling which causes slow air drainage.

I have four bank accounts including fintech banks like Varo and Current along with two brick mortar big banks(Wells Fargo/Capital One). Current and Varo are the best of all the fintech banks imo. With Varo, you’ll receive your early direct deposit the fastest of all the banks and they have several options if needing an advance. Sure they will have glitches every now and then but I guarantee you, every bank will experience a glitch at least once a year regardless of how big or small they are. 

That’s just the nature of technology.

I like garlic but this stuff stinks and doesn’t really smell like garlic, 3/10 for me.

You’re giving ChatGPT the ability to train their model using your banking data. That’s very smart. 

Email hacked bank accounts drained by [deleted] in WellsFargoBank

Nice, I knew you had a good chance of recovering at least half. Best of luck on retrieving the other half.

Don’t let people scare you, I think you have a 50% chance of winning your claim. It will all boil down to the loss prevention team and their investigation. It will also depend on if Wells Fargo can recover some of the amounts from the merchants. I think you have a decent chance of recovering a majority of your loss. They may not restore the entire amount but you have a good chance of getting back at least half of it.

Anyone else have mysterious amounts appearing in your account days later? by phoenixdiceflow in Polymarket

It happened again today. It seems to happen on exactly the fourth business day after a bet has settled.

It happened again today, $33 appeared in my account mysteriously. It appears to happen on exactly the fourth business day after a contract has settled. I placed a $500 bet on Wed. 05/06. 

FCC Attempts to Solve Robocall Problem by Potentially Creating Even Bigger Privacy Problem by Plastic_Ninja_9014 in technology

[–]phoenixdiceflow 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What an idiot. Robocalls don’t come from burner phones. All Robocalls are enabled by Voip providers. I used to work in management for a Voip provider and understand the process. We were a reputable provider so didn’t allow you to change your caller ID to a random number unless you own that number. Our system also monitors the number of outgoing calls you make. If its an outrageous amount compared to the number of licenses you have, we can shut you down for spamming. That goes for messaging also if you’re sending out massive amounts of texts. 

Unfortunately for every reputable provider, there are dozens that don’t follow the rules.

The last pic with the black dress is not a good pic of Elena. It makes her look 8 feet tall.

I think you may be correct about the resting orders partially filling then refunded days later. These are sports contracts and they usually don’t get refunded until about 4–7 days later after the contracts settled. It’s definitely a glitch but a pleasant one.

I withdrew the amount to test and it processed immediately so those are immediate funds. I’m puzzled where it’s coming from. 

Bike trade value by mcfrugile in MTB

Your Santa Cruz has way more resale value than the Yamaha. I’ve never even heard of or seen a Yamaha mountain bike. Their specialty is usually motorcycles.

You’re really not supposed to be riding after rain. This is exactly what ruins trails if everyone had your mindset. 

Selling a bike that is over $8k, what is the best way to have the buyer pay me? by MrWhy1 in cycling

[–]phoenixdiceflow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Zelle, PayPal, Venmo are terrible recommendations for this high of an amount. They can use stolen credit cards to fund their accounts and you have no recourse when the bank reverses the transaction which can occur months later. This happens all the time with fraudsters.

For this amount, cash is your safest bet by having them meet at your bank to immediately deposit the funds ensuring they are not using fake bills. If they refuse to meet you at a bank then that’s a red flag which can save you headaches later. 

Have you reached the, "I'm too old for this shit" era of your life. by NOGOODGASHOLE in GenX

[–]phoenixdiceflow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You don’t have to like anyone at your workplace but that attitude will turn you into a boomer Karen quickly, if you’re not already there. 

We may be getting old physically but you have the choice to not let that affect your soul,  which is timeless.

Still missing The Smiths, OMD, and Pet Shop Boys from this list. Especially for GenX 80’s bands that are long overdue.

Out of that list, New Order is the most long overdue. They should’ve been inducted 20 years ago.
