    SilverCash get's targeted by bank because they are in Adult!

    Just got this email

    Important Notice To Our SilverCash Webmasters:

    Bank Of America closed our bank accounts (with next to no notice).
    They learned our business is with the adult industry and do not want to
    be affiliated.

    As a result, all checks drawn on our BANK OF AMERICA account will
    be RETURNED UNPAID.

    If you have a check from BANK OF AMERICA from Price
    Communications, Inc. for pay periods before 03/30/2003 OR if you have
    a check that has been returned from Bank Of America please fax a
    check copy to 909.683.6589 or return the check via mail immediately
    and we will reissue you a check on our WELLS FARGO account the
    same day.

    All payout checks drawn on the WELLS FARGO account for payout
    periods after 3/30/2003 are ok and you will have no problems.

    We apologize greatly for any inconvenience this may have caused. For
    questions and concerns please contact us below.

    Sincerely,

          Seems like the bank would be opening itself up for some litigation, unless they lied or something on the account form where you indicate what type of business it is...

          Not sure though...

            Yes they can decide which clients that they do or do not want to bank with. I have heard of other banks in the past doing the same thing.

                B of A has done this before to other companies over the years. They do business with some people in this industry but not with others, almost on a branch by branch basis.

                There's nothing the Silvercash crew could have done to prevent this, it's a shame it had to happen to anyone, much less those guys.

                  Most likely it was a merchant account linked to that bank that "went bad" and they had to switch banks because they went in to hold or debit the funds. Just a guess, I think anyone would do the same thing in this type of scenario.

                      Banks can do just about any thing they want. You can sue them, you might or might not win. I had a customer a few years ago that borrowed money ( from Wells Fargo) built a big Roller Mill (Grain business) one day he gets a notice from them they called his note. They decided they didn't want to be in that business any longer. He had never been late or anything. He sue and won.

                                    I just received a check from Shaw Internet, drawn from B of A.

                                    Wouldn't Silver Cash have something on their site about this?

                                    And...I'm feeling left out. I didn't get an email.

                                    And, wouldn't the check already have bounced by now?

                                    Raven is confused now.

                                      Yea, I got a letter a few weeks ago stating that they are closing my account because they have the right to stop doing biz with anyone at anytime and that was it. I then called BofA and got a major run around and it took some serious complaining and phone calls before I finally got someone to tell me the reason they are closing the account is because of the nature of the biz we are in. What a joke! The next day I found out they closed my other biz account and my personal account. So basically I had very little time to create 3 new bank account. Now I have huge balances maintained at all times in these accounts in order to payout every week. I have also been with BofA since 87. My mom and sister both worked for the bank for years and this is how I was treated. Pretty amazing to me.


                                      I suggest you all move away from them if you can before they close you down one day.

                                      I mean comon, should they quit doing biz with every hotel chain that offers movies in the rooms, or every liquor store owner at every stip mall in the U.S. for magazines, how about the airlines who fly over the tape used to make VCR tapes that later are sold with porn on them. I mean when does it stop? This is a joke and not fair. Maybe they should shut down the saw mills bank accounts that make the paper that playboy uses to print their magazines.. lol


                                      Anyways all is good over here and only a few of you who waited more then a few weeks to deposit your checks will be affected. Please contact us asap and we can reissue new checks or send you pay pals

                                                Mike,

                                                that just plain sucks bro. This isn't the first time I have heard about BofA doing this..

                                                Np's under clinton, but bush just brings everything to shit. I like your line about paper mills, vhs, etc. You never know how things might turn out

                                                  I fail to understand why BofA refuses to do business with you. What we do is not a reflection on them. BofA does not produce porn in any shape or form; They are a bank and that's that.

                                                  If I remember correctly there was a newspaper article last year saying that General Motors made the most amount of money off of porn because of their investments in the hotel industry. Perhaps I should write to BofA and complain that every time they fund a loan for a GM car they are supporting porn.

                                                    Good point about GM. Yes in a way that was all true. From there stake in Hotels, Directv, Etc. they were making big #'s from adult movies, etc.

                                                    Another sad day in America. I just feel bad for Mike, shit not like he brang this on himself.

                                                        yea that sucks. all these companies operate under so many corporate shells that nobody would know its porn related any way.
                                                        Ever notice that pretty much everything added to the Constitution after the original was a mistake.

                                                              I use to be a Marketing Director for First USA (A Bank One Company) a few years back. I use to hear horror stories about Bank of America. What I found out it was first USA that was causing them a bad name. I always had the impression they weren't concern with an individuals banking affairs. They are making it harder and harder to do busines here in the states. And we wonder why so many companies go off shore.

                                                              Most banks don't like to do business with individuals in the adult industry. I use Chase, I think it's the best bank in the world. Hell that's where Noriega banked, why shouldn't I.

Everything is fine over here but If any of you still use BofA I would highly suggest you move banks at your convience before they do it for you

                                                                            If I remember correctly there was a newspaper article last year saying that General Motors made the most amount of money off of porn because of their investments in the hotel industry. Perhaps I should write to BofA and complain that every time they fund a loan for a GM car they are supporting porn.

I had a bank where I went to open a commercial account with in Los Angeles do the same thing. Handed the banking officer a $60,000 opening deposit check, filling out the papers, and she asks what kind of telecommunications we do. I jokingly said phone sex. She handed me back the $60K and said she wouldn't be able to open our account.

Just a guess, I think anyone would do the same thing in this type of scenario.
