When I was 17 I went to the bank to open my first bank account and was told I already had one. Guess some how my uncle opened a joint account with me. Also dont know how thats even possible. (Plz tell me if you know) Anyways my parents contacted my uncle and he said hed close the account. Fast forward to today, I'm now 33 and received a weird phone call. Basically was just hey this is bank calling, I was looking for your dad, he hasnt been answering my calls, can you iust tell him to come down to bank location or his accounts with be dorment. It threw immediate red flags cuz thew didn't say their name, didn't use my dads name, my dad also doesn't bank with them and why tf would they call me. I thought it was a scam but they sent a follow ur email and included my uncle as a recipient. Obviously I tell my parents about this cuz what the actual fuck. They contact my uncle and yep its the same bank account, he never closed it claiming 'hes been trying but its been difficult". Yeah fucking right. But I cant figure out why he created the account to begin with. Hes not married so its not like he has to hide it from his wife. Any help would be appreciated
Ik illegal activity is a suggestion but his name is on the account too.
Also is there a way to see if I have other accounts at other banks without calling each and every one
I am struggling morally on wanting to drain it becase hes not a good person, i have no clue if theres anything in it but if there is....realistically what would you do? Ik he cant legally come after me
Also I'm really curious if he updated my phone number or if that was automatic when I updated my number for my actual account.
I feel it hard to believe he stole my social security number iust cuz how would he have gotten it, but do you need that to open an account for a minor you claim is you child? Assuming he claimed me as his kid since the weird call was looking for my dad
Literally so many questions running through my heac Sorry for the long post
