I'm a bit creeped out, y'all.
I got a letter from our bank that my youngest's savings account was in inactive status and was going to the unclaimed property department if I didn't reply.
We've been in limbo with his SSA claim for over 2 years so there's been no activity on his account for that reason.
I called customer service to reactivate the account. They had to do some verification questions that the computer had the answers to. One of them was "what organization, if any, have you had contact with"? And a list of stores and hotels and Occupy Oakland.
How does the bank know I'm associated with Occupy Oakland? How did it get on the account verification computer? It struck me as so surreal and unexpected I'm having trouble processing it, tbh.
