Well now.
Got a call, purportedly from my bank, about an automatic bill payment (HOA dues). No detail on the call. I logged into my account online and saw a message on the payment saying the payee was being investigated by the "Risk" department.
I called my bank (at their main number, not the number given on the phone message), and they confirmed that the call was legitimate.
It seems they were concerned about a word that was in the memo of the payment.
A couple interesting facts about that word.
1) It's been there since I started that recurring payment 2 years ago.
2) It's the name of our street and is also on the check as the street address of the account.
I pointed this out and asked why it was suddenly a problem. Apparently a new security policy.
After the call I googled the word.
Interesting fact #3 - it's the name of an ancient city in Syria.
