Quick Answer

Cash App may Close your account for a number of reasons. Cash App retains the right to cancel your account if any suspicious activity or fraudulent transaction is connected to your account. Additionally, Cash App has the right to block and outright terminate your account if the information you provided is false, including your identity or bank account.

The right to close your account is reserved by Cash App in the event that you break one or more of their terms and conditions. You might be able to convince customer service in some circumstances to reactivate your account. In this article, we'll go into more detail about some of the typical reasons Cash App closes user accounts so you can either avoid it or understand why it did to you.

The Possible Causes for Cash App Closed Your Account

Cash App keeps an eye on every account for anything unusual to guarantee that everyone using the platform is safe. Depending on the terms of service you breach, Cash App Account is Closed if anything out of the ordinary occurs.

Ten typical explanations for Why Your Cash App Account is Closed are listed below.

Failure to Pay a Negative Balance

Getting an overdraft and borrowing from it is one of the numerous functions of Cash App. However, if your balance falls below zero, your account can be closed. On the Cash App, you shouldn't be able to enter a negative balance, but some people utilize tricks, including using the Cash Card at a gas station where the pump terminal can't tell the difference between the money in your account and the one in your overdraft.

Government Compliance 

Cash App must cooperate with governmental requests to close your account, such as those made by the government. Therefore, Cash App must cooperate if there is a subpoena, court order, or other legitimate government order to stop, reverse, or postpone your transaction.

Therefore, Cash App reserves the right to delete your account in accordance with any governmental directive if you ever found yourself in legal difficulties.

Invalid P2P Transactions

Additionally, Cash App has a stringent anti-terrorism and anti-money laundering program that makes sure no user abuses the system. Therefore, Cash App has the right to terminate your account and keep the money if you receive funds that they suspect do not belong to you. Even if you are unsure of who sent the money, if it was part of a fraud or scam, your account will be closed.

Utilizing a Personal Account for Business

You have the option to create a personal or a business account when you sign up for Cash App. You can simultaneously create and utilize a personal account and a business account if you so choose. You cannot, however, use your personal account for business purposes or your business account for personal use. If you inter-switch both accounts, Cash App can quickly locate and terminate your account.

Age Limitations

You affirm that you are at least 18 years old in order to use Cash App. Therefore, Cash App will close your account if the age you entered during registration does not match the age on your SSN or other facts you gave when you register a Cash App account for whatever reason.

If you wish to purchase and sell bitcoin on the platform, invest in stocks, or order a Cash Card, you will need to validate your Cash App account.

Incorrect Email or Phone Number

Cash App has the right to terminate your account if the information you provided when joining up is false. Therefore, you should be truthful and utilize accurate information when creating your account. If you still have the last three months' worth of utility bills, for instance, don't include your prior residence's address while filling out your residential address. Your name, phone number, email, and other contact information should all be updated.

Cash App has the right to suspend or terminate your account if they believe there is a difference between the information you gave and your actual credential.

Non-Resident United States

Unfortunately, you must be a resident of the U.S. or the UK and at least 18 years old in order to use Cash App. Therefore, Cash App will eventually discover your attempt to utilize a VPN from another country to create an account using false information or someone else's information, and the account will be closed. Your I.P. address is recorded by Cash App so they may determine from which nation you are accessing the service.

Unverified Cash App Account

Being asked only the typical questions that any fintech would ask you makes creating a Cash App account rather simple. A government-issued ID, proof of ownership of your phone number, and proof of ownership of your email address would be required to confirm your identification. But since Cash App will validate the data you submit, one thing is bound to lead to another.

It violates their terms of service and could result in the closure of your account if you are unable to verify any of the information you submit.

Fraudulent $Cashtag

People can send you money using $Cashtags, which are unique identifiers in the Cash App more akin to your username. As long as it has at least one letter and isn't more than 20 characters long, the $Cashtags can be anything.

Cash App, however, has the right to close your account if your $Cashtag is deceptive or used to induce people to transfer your money.

Error in Service

Errors happen, and occasionally your account may be flagged for the incorrect reason. In some rare instances, even if you did nothing wrong, your account could be closed. In such circumstances, you should file a complaint with Cash App customer support, and the problem might be fixed.

Ada x Leon fluff.

Ada: Leon..

Leon, half asleep, hmm.

ada: why don’t we swap. You’re on top of me, and your heavy.

Leon was in the midst of an intense dream when he suddenly felt his entire body shift. The motion made him feel as if he were falling from a high cliff, causing his legs and arms to jerk—his body tricked into thinking it was in immediate danger.

While the dream played like a lagging movie behind his eyes, it began to blur into reality as he opened and closed his tired orbs. He barely made out Ada's whispered pleas until she raised her voice.

"Leon..."

"Hmm?" It was a pitiful response, but the only noise he was capable of making at the moment.

"Why don't we swap?" Ada suggested.

He yawned, feeling himself waking up further. Whatever the plot of his dream had been was lost.

He grumbled in reply, "What are you talking about?"

Ada let out a loud sigh. "You're on top of me and you're heavy."

"I'm... oh!" It took his brain a few seconds to put the pieces together. He quickly rolled off her, landing on his back with a light thud. His chest rose and fell with exhausted breaths, recalling fragments of how he ended up in bed with Ada.

A silent dinner had led to drinks, which led to acts Leon knew he'd regret down the road when they resumed their respective oppositions. He felt guilt already leeching into his mind. That was until Ada moved, laying her head on his pecs. Her right ear pressed to his skin, he felt her warm breath as she sighed. The sound of his heartbeat lulling her back to sleep.

Leon could let the shame go for now. He could disappear back into his dreams and hope to land in a world where neither of them had to hide what their relationship had blossomed into. He could dream.

For a second, he thought about running away with her. Fulfilling the wish she had planted through whispers in his ear. However, duty was stronger than loyalty.

He knew he couldn't have both worlds.

Not with her.

Cater's Backstory - Monster AU

Monster: Gumiho/Kumiho (Korean folklore, similar to the Japanese Kitsune, shapeshifting abilities) Word Count: ~ 0.74K Relationships mentioned: The Diamond family (2 sisters, (eldest, Katryna, middle, Casey, hc names), mother, (Regina, hc name), father, (Cody)), Indescript People from the internet TW: Minor texting adults/Cater has a fake dating profile at 13, shitty sisters + mom, parents fighting, self esteem issues, family life vlogger, etc.

"OH FOR FUCKS SAKE REGINA, STOP MAKING HIM SHIFT FOR THE SAKE OF THE FUCKING THUMBNAIL OR WHATEVER YOU CALL IT, HE'S NOT A PROP!"

"YOU CUT OFF MY ALLOWANCE CODY, I HAD TO WOMAN UP AND MAKE MONEY SOMEHOW. I GREW THOSE LITTLE SHITS INSIDE OF ME AFTER YOU PUT EM IN ME, THE LEAST THEY CAN DO IS MAKE ME SOME MONEY!.....BESIDES, THIS WAY I DON'T HAVE TO RELY ON SOME DIRTY CHEATER'S CASH LIKE YOURS!" Cater could hear his parents going back and forth in the kitchen for maybe the third or fourth time this week, as it had been....the third or fourth time his mother had tried to shoot a baking video with him in it. His sisters segments had gone off without a hitch, apparently, but his mother kept stop and going when he was involved to make sure the way he looked was "perfect" according to her standards. He tried to block out the yells from the other room, his ears folding back against his head as he brought four of his nine tails to snuggle into, in front of him. While he wasn't a fan of the shooting process, or the way his mom made him shapeshift his face or body to fit her demands, he loved sitting with her once the video went up and watching as views and likes and comments would start pouring in. The feeling was....maybe the only good thing he got to have. Which is why he took it upon himself to find that feeling again whenever he felt upset. He sat up a little, looking for his phone as he used his tail to wipe at his eyes, sniffling a bit. It only took a moment to locate it, and once he had it, he opened it to the camera. He frowned a bit. It was too close to his face...to not be his face, but it wasn't his face. His nose was narrowed, his cheeks had been slimmed in, his eyes were upturned and a little bigger, his lips were slightly more plump than they were meant to be. He shook his head a little, wanting to start from scratch. It was always easier to shift starting from a familiar base. He took a deep breath before focusing on himself in the camera again. First, all he had to do was try to match how Katryna looked - even if their mom never knew, he certainly knew how many times she had snuck out of the house to sleepover at someone else's place. People wanted her. That's what made her a good base, and given that they were siblings, there wasn't all that much he had to change to match her. Once he was satisfied with his facial structure, he turned his hair longer than it was, just to his shoulders. He watched his ginger locks turn black, with a blue streak in it, and turned the colour of his eyes from green to blue to match his hair. He made his cheeks a little thinner and his nose more button-like. It wasn't like this was his first time. It only took him about a minute to come up with a face that wasn't his that he thought might be pretty enough, before taking several photos and choosing his favourites. He opened up the dating app on his phone that he had hidden in a locked file, under a different user profile. He knew his mom would loose it if she caught glimpse of it, thus the measures he took to hide it from her. It wasn't like he was supposed to have it in the first place....but thirteen was close enough to eighteen, right? Besides, the compliments he got- rather, his "character" got, made him feel happy. And this way, he controlled what was going on the internet, and how he interacted with people, and all without his mothers interference. It was perfect. He made a new account, posted the picture and a made up biography before starting to swipe right on every single person that came up. He didn't have to wait long for the compliments to file in, or the "its a match!" to fill his screen. He smiled to himself, before opening the most interesting opener and starting to chat, like he had done so many times before, ready and willing to do whatever it took to get that feeling.

What Happened: Why Cash App is shutting Down Accounts?

Cash App, one of the most popular mobile payment platforms, has been making headlines recently for cash app shutting down accounts. Many users are left frustrated and confused as their accounts are suddenly closed, often without warning. These closures have sparked a flurry of questions, with users asking why this is happening and how they can recover their money.

In this article, we will explore why Cash App is closing accounts, what you can do if your account is shut down, and how to avoid these closures in the future.

Cash App Shutting down Accounts Today: What’s Happening?

Recently, there has been an increase in reports of Cash App shutting down accounts. While this may seem alarming, the company typically closes accounts for specific reasons. These reasons usually include violations of Cash App’s terms of service, suspicious activity, or security concerns. With stricter policies being enforced in 2024, more users are being impacted by these measures.

Why is Cash App Closing Everyone’s Accounts?

Cash App is not arbitrarily closing accounts. The platform is required to comply with federal laws and financial regulations. If Cash App detects suspicious activity, potential fraud, or violations of its terms, cash app shut down accounts to protect users and prevent illegal activity. In some cases, the algorithm might incorrectly flag an account, resulting in closure even if no wrongdoing occurred.

Cash App Account Closed Due to Violation of Terms of Service

One of the most common reasons for cash app account closed violation of terms of service. These terms include several rules that users must follow to maintain access to their accounts. Violations can include, but are not limited to:

Fraudulent transactions

Unauthorized use of the app for gambling

Suspicious or high-risk activity

Sending or receiving large amounts of money without proper verification

If Cash App determines that an account has violated its terms, it may close the account immediately. Users often find out their account has been closed when they attempt to log in and receive a notification that the account has been restricted or terminated.

Cash App Closed My Account with Money in It

A particularly distressing scenario occurs when Cash App closes an account that still has money in it. If this happens, it doesn’t necessarily mean your money is lost. Cash App typically holds the funds until the issue is resolved or refunds the balance to your linked bank account.

If your cash app account was closed with money in it, you should:

Contact Cash App customer support as soon as possible.

Provide all necessary verification documents to prove ownership of the account.

Request a refund or assistance in withdrawing the remaining funds.

Be aware that if your account was closed for serious violations, such as fraudulent activity or money laundering, retrieving the funds may take longer as Cash App investigates the matter further.

Cash App Closing Accounts in 2024: Stricter Policies

In 2024, Cash App has implemented stricter policies to comply with new financial regulations. This has led to a noticeable uptick in account closures. The company is required to adhere to laws that govern money transfers and payment platforms, which means they must take extra precautions against illegal activity. As a result, even minor violations or unusual patterns in transactions could result in an account being flagged and eventually shut down.

Gambling and Cash App Account Closures

A notable area where users are seeing their cash app accounts shut down is related to online gambling. Cash App’s terms of service strictly prohibit using the platform for illegal gambling transactions. If the system detects that an account is engaging in this type of activity, it may lead to an immediate closure. Even if gambling is legal in some regions, Cash App does not allow its services to be used for this purpose, which leads to account closures when violated.

What to Do If Cash App Closed Your Account

If Cash App closed your account, there are steps you can take to try and recover it or, at the very least, retrieve your funds. Here’s what you should do:

1. Contact Cash App Support

The first step is to contact Cash App’s customer service. Explain the situation and provide any information that may help resolve the issue. Cash App will typically ask for identification and other documents to verify your account ownership.

2. Appeal the Closure

In some cases, if you believe the closure was a mistake, you can appeal the decision. Contact Cash App support and explain why you think your account should not have been closed. While not all appeals are successful, Cash App may reinstate your account if the closure was due to an error.

3. Retrieve Your Money

Even if your account remains closed, Cash App usually allows users to recover their funds. If you had money in the account, you should be able to transfer it to a linked bank account once verification is complete. If this is not possible, Cash App may issue a check or transfer the balance to a new payment platform.

Can You Open a New Cash App Account After One Has Been Closed?

If Cash App closed your account, you might wonder whether you can simply create a new account. The answer is yes, but it comes with certain conditions.

1. Use Different Information

To open a new Cash App account, you will need to use different information than your previous account. This means a new email address, phone number, and potentially even a different bank account. Cash App tracks user activity and may block new accounts that share details with closed accounts.

2. Adhere to Terms of Service

If your previous cash app account was closed due to a violation of the terms of service, make sure you comply with all rules and regulations when using the new account. Violating the terms again could lead to another closure, and at that point, it may be much harder to open a new account.

Why Cash App Closed Accounts Due to Gambling

As mentioned earlier, Cash App has a strict policy against using the platform for gambling. Even if gambling is legal in your region, using Cash App to fund betting activities can result in an account closure. This is because Cash App must follow federal laws, which prohibit the use of payment services for unauthorized gambling activities.

If your account was closed for this reason, the chances of reopening it are slim. Cash App is unlikely to reinstate accounts that were involved in illegal or high-risk activities like gambling. You’ll need to follow up with customer support to recover any remaining funds, but the account itself may stay permanently closed.

Conclusion

The recent wave of Cash App account closures is largely due to stricter policies and regulatory requirements. Whether your account was closed for violating terms of service, suspicious activity, or other reasons, it’s important to take action quickly. Contacting Cash App support, verifying your identity, and complying with all requests can help you recover your funds or reopen your account.

If your account was closed for a serious violation, such as gambling, it may be difficult to restore access, and you may need to open a new account. Always ensure you follow Cash App’s rules to avoid future closures.

Cash App Account Closed for “Violating Terms of Service” When You Only Send Between Friends and Family: What You Need to Know

Cash App is a widely used mobile payment platform known for its simplicity and convenience. Many users rely on it for transferring money between friends and family, as well as making online purchases. However, one of the most frustrating experiences for users is having their Cash App account closed for seemingly no reason, with the dreaded message: "Your account has been closed due to a violation of our terms of service." This can be perplexing, especially for those who primarily use the app for small, personal transactions. If you're one of those users, this article will help you understand why Cash App closes accounts and how you can resolve the situation.

Why Did Cash App Close My Account for “Violating Terms of Service”?

There are several reasons why Cash App might close your account. The platform operates under strict terms of service, and violations—intentional or not—can lead to your account being shut down. Here are some common reasons why Cash App closing accounts:

1. Suspicious Activity

If Cash App detects suspicious activity on your account, such as sending or receiving large amounts of money in a short period, unusual login attempts, or transactions from multiple locations, the system may flag your account for review. This often results in an account closure as a precautionary measure. Cash App's security algorithms are designed to detect potentially fraudulent activity, even if you're only sending money between friends and family.

2. Linking Multiple Bank Accounts

Another common issue leading to account closure is linking multiple bank accounts or debit cards to your Cash App account. The platform considers this a violation of their terms, as it can be seen as an attempt to circumvent limits on transactions. Even if your intention is innocent, Cash App may close your account if they detect this behavior.

3. Violating Transaction Limits

Cash App has daily, weekly, and monthly transaction limits. If you exceed these limits, whether for sending or receiving money, Cash App may flag your account and close it for "violating terms of service." Be sure to check Cash App's transaction limits to avoid this problem.

4. Using a Fake Name or Multiple Accounts

Creating multiple accounts or using fake personal information on your Cash App profile can also result in account closure. Cash App requires users to verify their identity, and discrepancies in your information may lead to account suspension or closure.

Cash App Account Closed Violation of Terms of Service Refund: Can You Get Your Money Back?

One of the most pressing concerns for users whose Cash App accounts have been closed is whether they can recover their funds. The good news is that in many cases, users can still access the money in their accounts after it has been closed. However, the process is not always straightforward.

1. Contact Cash App Support

If your Cash App account has been closed and you need to retrieve your funds, the first step is to contact Cash App support. You can do this through the app by going to your profile and selecting "Support" or by visiting the Cash App website. Explain your situation in detail and request assistance in withdrawing your remaining balance.

2. Refunds for Pending Transactions

If you had any pending transactions at the time of the account closure, they may be refunded to the original sender. For example, if you sent money to a friend but the account was closed before the transaction was completed, Cash App will typically refund the amount to the person who initiated the payment.

3. Bank Transfers

In some cases, Cash App may transfer your remaining balance to your linked bank account automatically. However, this is not guaranteed, and you should follow up with Cash App support to ensure you get your money back.

Cash App Account Closed: How Long Does It Take?

When your Cash App account is closed, the process of recovering your money or resolving the issue can take some time. The exact length of time depends on the reason for the closure and how quickly you can get in touch with support.

1. Typical Resolution Time

Most account closure cases are resolved within a few days to a week. However, if Cash App's investigation into your account activity is more complex, it could take longer.

2. Factors Affecting Recovery Time

How Do I Withdraw Money from My Closed Cash App?

Cash App is a popular platform that allows users to send and receive money effortlessly. However, there are situations where Cash App has been closed unexpectedly, leaving users wondering how to access their funds. If your Cash App account closed with money in it, it can be frustrating and confusing. In this article, we will explore how you can withdraw funds from a closed Cash App account, what may have led to the closure, and what steps to take moving forward.

Why Cash App Closed My Account?

Before diving into how to withdraw your money, it’s essential to understand why Cash App closed your account in the first place. Cash App may close accounts for several reasons, including violations of their Terms of Service or suspicious activity. Here are some common reasons for account closure:

Suspicious Activity: If Cash App detects suspicious or unauthorized activity, such as multiple failed login attempts or unrecognized transactions, they may close your account to protect your funds.

Terms of Service Violation: Cash App has strict policies that users must follow. Engaging in illegal transactions, money laundering, or fraud could result in Cash App closing your account.

Unverified Account: Accounts that remain unverified or those where the user fails to submit requested identification documents may be shut down by Cash App.

Excessive Chargebacks: If you have a history of disputing payments or frequent chargebacks, Cash App may decide to close your account to avoid further financial risks.

How to Withdraw Money from a Closed Cash App Account

If your Cash App account closed with money in it, you may still have options to retrieve your funds. Here are the steps to follow to access your money after the closure:

1. Contact Cash App Support

The first step in withdrawing money from a closed Cash App account is to reach out to Cash App customer support. This can be done through the app or via their website. Be prepared to provide personal information to verify your identity, such as:

Your full name

The email or phone number associated with the closed account

Your Cash App username

When contacting support, explain the situation and provide any details that could help them understand why your account was closed and how much money is locked in the account. Cash App support may take time to investigate the matter, so be patient during this process.

2. Verify Your Identity

Cash App may require you to provide identification documents to verify your account ownership before they can release the funds. These documents can include a government-issued ID or other forms of personal verification. Ensuring you complete this step accurately and promptly is essential for gaining access to your money.

3. Receive Funds in a Linked Bank Account

If you had a linked bank account or debit card attached to your Cash App before the account was closed, Cash App may automatically send your remaining balance to that linked account. Be sure to check the associated bank account or card for any incoming deposits.

If the funds are not automatically transferred, you can request support to initiate the withdrawal process. Once approved, the funds will be deposited into the linked account or card on file.

4. Recover Your Account (If Possible)

In some cases, you may be able to reopen your closed Cash App account and regain access to the app, which can make it easier to withdraw your funds. If the reason for closure was minor or due to a misunderstanding, Cash App may allow you to recover your account by following their account recovery process. This typically involves:

Providing additional identification verification

Resolving any disputes or chargebacks associated with your account

Addressing any violations of their Terms of Service

Once your account is recovered, you should be able to withdraw the funds directly to your linked bank account or debit card as usual.

What Happens If Cash App Refuses to Reopen My Account?

In some cases, your request to reopen a closed Cash App account may be denied. If this happens, Cash App should still provide a way to withdraw any remaining funds.

1. Request a Manual Transfer

Even if Cash App declines to reopen your account, they are legally obligated to return your money. You can request that Cash App manually transfer the balance to your linked bank account or card, even if the account is closed permanently.

2. Dispute the Decision

If you believe that your account closure was unjustified, you can file a formal dispute with Cash App's support team. Provide any relevant evidence or documentation that supports your case, and Cash App will review the information. If they find that your account was closed in error, they may allow you to access your funds.

3. Explore Legal Options

In rare cases where you are unable to withdraw your funds through the standard processes, you may consider exploring legal options. Consulting with an attorney who specializes in financial technology or consumer rights could be an option if you believe your funds are being unfairly withheld.

How to Shut Down a Cash App Account Properly

If you are concerned about future account closures or simply want to close your Cash App account on your own terms, it’s important to do so properly to avoid any issues with locked funds. Here’s how you can properly shut down a Cash App account:

Withdraw All Funds: Before closing your Cash App account, make sure to transfer any remaining balance to your linked bank account or debit card.

Unlink Your Bank Account: After withdrawing your funds, you should unlink your bank account or debit card to ensure that no transactions can take place after closure.

Delete Personal Information: Remove any personal information, such as your linked email or phone number, from your Cash App account.

Close the Account: Once the above steps are completed, you can navigate to the account settings within the Cash App and choose the option to close or delete your account. This ensures your account is closed on your own terms, with no remaining balance or future risks.

Conclusion

When your Cash App account is closed with money in it, withdrawing those funds can feel like a daunting task. However, by following the right steps—such as contacting Cash App support, verifying your identity, and requesting a manual transfer—you can regain access to your money. Understanding why Cash App closed your account in the first place can help prevent similar issues in the future, and if needed, you may even have the opportunity to reopen your Cash App account.

If you're facing difficulties withdrawing your funds, be persistent, patient, and communicate clearly with Cash App’s support team. Properly managing your account, following the platform’s policies, and maintaining good transaction history can help you avoid future account closures.

Explore the Reason Why your Cash App Account may be closed

Cash App has become a popular tool for sending and receiving money instantly. However, despite its widespread use, some users have found themselves facing a frustrating situation: Cash App has closed their account due to violations of the platform's Terms of Service. Understanding why this happens and what steps to take afterward is crucial to resolving the issue and potentially regaining access.

We will also provide solutions to help you navigate through the frustrating situation if Cash App shut down your account. Let's dive in.

Why Did Cash App Close My Account?

There are several reasons why Cash App may close an account. The platform follows strict guidelines to ensure a safe and secure environment for its users. Violations of the Terms of Service can result in immediate suspension or permanent closure of accounts. Below are some common reasons that could explain why Cash App shut down your account:

Suspicious Activity or Fraud: If Cash App detects any suspicious or fraudulent transactions on your account, such as multiple failed attempts to send or receive money or illegal activities, it may close your account to protect both the user and the platform.

Violation of the Terms of Service: Cash App has a detailed Terms of Service that users must follow. Violating these terms, such as sending or receiving money for illegal goods or services, engaging in scam activities, or utilizing the app for other unpermitted uses, may lead to account closure.

Incorrect or False Information: If your Cash App account is linked to incorrect or fraudulent personal information, such as fake names or addresses, Cash App may shut down your account to prevent identity theft or fraud.

Unverified Account: Failure to verify your account by providing the necessary identification documents when requested by Cash App can also result in account closure. Verifying your identity is an important step to ensure compliance with anti-money laundering and financial security regulations.

Excessive Chargebacks or Disputes: If your account has a history of excessive chargebacks or disputes with payments, Cash App may consider this a violation of its policies, leading to account closure.

What to Do If Cash App Sent Money to a Closed Account

One of the most common concerns users face is what happens if Cash App sent money to a closed account. If your account has been closed but you had pending transactions, you may be worried about what will happen to the money.

Funds Returned to the Sender: If someone attempts to send money to your closed Cash App account, the money will typically be returned to the sender. Cash App does not hold onto funds if an account is no longer active.

Contact Cash App Support: If you are unsure about the status of the funds or need assistance with transactions involving a closed account, it's important to contact Cash App support directly. They can provide clarity on the situation and may be able to assist with recovering the funds.

Check Linked Bank Accounts: In some cases, funds may be automatically transferred to a linked bank account even if your Cash App account is closed. Ensure that the bank details linked to your Cash App account are accurate and up-to-date.

Can I Reopen a Closed Cash App Account?

If you find yourself asking, "Can I reopen a closed Cash App account?", the answer depends on why your account was closed in the first place. In some cases, it may be possible to recover your account, while in other situations, the closure may be permanent.

Account Review: If your account was closed due to a temporary issue, such as a security concern or suspicious activity, Cash App may allow you to submit a request for a review. During the review process, you may need to provide additional documentation or identification to verify your account.

Permanent Closure: Unfortunately, not all closed accounts are eligible for reopening. If your account was closed due to severe violations of the Terms of Service, such as fraudulent activity, the closure may be permanent, and you may not be able to regain access to the account.

Create a New Account: If your account was permanently closed, your only option may be to create a new account. However, this may require using a different email address and phone number than what was associated with your original account.

Steps to Take If Your Cash App Account Is Closed

If Cash App shut down your account, follow these steps to resolve the issue or seek alternative options:

Contact Cash App Support: The first and most important step is to contact Cash App's customer support. You can do this through the app or via email. Provide as much information as possible about your account and the situation that led to its closure.

Review the Terms of Service: Take time to carefully review Cash App's Terms of Service to identify any possible reasons for the closure. Understanding what may have gone wrong can help you avoid similar issues in the future.

Provide Identification Documents: If Cash App requests verification documents to reopen your account, be prompt in providing the necessary information. This can include a government-issued ID, proof of address, or other forms of identification.

Stay Patient: The review process can take time, especially if Cash App is investigating suspicious activity. Stay patient and wait for a response from the support team.

Consider Alternatives: If you are unable to reopen your Cash App account, consider using alternative payment platforms such as PayPal, Venmo, or Zelle. These services offer similar features and may be a good substitute for Cash App.

Conclusion

Having your Cash App account closed can be a frustrating experience, especially if you rely on the platform for your daily transactions. Understanding why Cash App may have closed your account and following the proper steps to resolve the issue can help you navigate this challenging situation. While some account closures are permanent, others may be resolved through proper communication with Cash App's support team.

If your Cash App shut down your account, it’s important to stay calm and follow the necessary steps to resolve the situation. Whether it's recovering lost funds, understanding the reason for closure, or considering alternative payment options, you can find a solution that works for you.

Cash App Account Closed: Violation of Terms of Service

Cash App, one of the most popular mobile payment services, provides users with the ability to send, receive, and manage money easily. However, there are instances where Cash App closes account due to violations of their Terms of Service. If your Cash App account was closed, it can be a frustrating and confusing experience, especially if you believe you've done nothing wrong. In this article, we'll explore why Cash App closed your account, potential reasons for violations of terms, and steps to take if this happens to you.

Common Reasons Why Cash App Closed Your Account

If you found yourself in a situation where Cash App closed your account for no reason, it’s important to note that there are several reasons Cash App might take such action. Even though it may seem random or unjustified, Cash App has policies in place that users may unknowingly violate. Below are some of the key reasons:

1. Violation of Terms of Service

One of the most common reasons Cash App shuts down accounts is due to a violation of their Terms of Service. Cash App requires that all users follow their strict guidelines. Engaging in any activity that violates these terms—whether knowingly or not—can result in your account being closed.

Common violations include:

Fraudulent activity: Engaging in fraud or attempting to scam other users will lead to a swift closure.

Suspicious transactions: Large amounts of money being transferred without verification or unusual transaction behavior might trigger a closure.

Use of Cash App for prohibited activities: This includes illegal activities, gambling, or selling unauthorized products and services.

Violating the age restriction: Users must be at least 18 years old to hold a Cash App account.

2. Multiple Accounts

Cash App closed your account for no reason might actually be linked to the use of multiple accounts. Cash App does not allow users to maintain more than one personal account, and creating multiple accounts with the same identification or payment information can cause the system to flag your accounts and ultimately lead to their closure.

3. Incomplete Identity Verification

Failure to verify your identity on Cash App is another potential reason for account closure. Cash App account closed due to insufficient information is common when users do not complete the verification process. Unverified accounts have strict limits on transactions, and attempting to exceed these limits without proper identification could lead to a temporary or permanent account suspension.

4. Violation of Cash App Bitcoin Policies

Cash App allows users to buy, sell, and withdraw Bitcoin. However, Cash App closed my account might be the result of breaching their cryptocurrency rules. For example, attempting to withdraw more Bitcoin than allowed or using Bitcoin transactions for unlawful purposes will likely lead to the shutdown of your account.

5. Unauthorized Access or Hacking

If Cash App suspects that your account has been hacked or accessed by unauthorized parties, they may shut it down to protect your funds and personal information. Cash App closed my account for no reason may simply be a security measure implemented to safeguard your data, especially if suspicious activity has been detected.

6. Chargebacks or Disputes

If you file too many chargebacks or disputes with your bank or card issuer after making transactions on Cash App, the platform may consider you a high-risk user. Cash App shut down accounts with frequent chargebacks to minimize potential losses from refund abuse or fraudulent disputes.

7. Using a VPN or Proxy Server

Cash App monitors users’ geographic locations to ensure compliance with its services. If you use a VPN or proxy server to mask your location, Cash App closed my account might be the result of this action. The platform could suspect that you are engaging in suspicious activities, prompting them to take immediate action to shut down your account.

Steps to Take if Cash App Closed Your Account

If Cash App closed your account for no reason, don’t panic. There are steps you can take to try to resolve the issue and regain access to your funds.

1. Contact Cash App Support

The first thing to do is reach out to Cash App Support. Explain the situation and ask for the specific reason your account was closed. You can contact support through the app itself by navigating to your profile and selecting the “Support” option. Be patient, as it may take time for them to investigate the matter thoroughly.

2. Verify Your Identity

If your account was closed due to verification issues, you may be required to provide additional identification. Submitting the necessary documents, such as a government-issued ID and proof of residence, can help to restore your account. In many cases, Cash App shut down accounts until the verification process is complete.

3. Review Your Transaction History

It’s crucial to review your recent transactions to ensure that none of them might have triggered the violation of Cash App’s Terms of Service. If you notice any suspicious transactions or charges that you did not authorize, be sure to report these to Cash App immediately.

4. Stop Using Multiple Accounts

If you’ve been using multiple Cash App accounts, be aware that this is likely the cause of the shutdown. To avoid this issue in the future, ensure that you are only using one account per person, as Cash App prohibits users from holding multiple personal accounts.

5. Wait for a Response

After reaching out to support and submitting the necessary documents, it may take some time for Cash App to respond and take action. During this waiting period, avoid creating new accounts, as this could complicate matters further.

How to Prevent Your Cash App Account from Being Closed

To prevent your Cash App account from being closed in the future, follow these best practices:

Stay compliant with Cash App’s Terms of Service: Ensure that all of your transactions are lawful and within the permitted uses of the platform.

Verify your identity: Complete the verification process as early as possible to avoid potential limitations or closures.

Im sorry if this post comes off weird and not very understandable, but I (and a friend) have been forced to live with something horrible and traumatizing (at the hands of someone we called A FRIEND) for the last few days and I am about to burst and need to get this out somewhere where I feel safe.

(TRIGGER WARNING: faked Sui attempt mention below, me being gaslit, lied to, made to feel like I was an idiot and a harasser)

It all started a few days ago by a message from (someone that I called a friend)’s account. Lets call them Wolf.

In the past, during our short friendship, a friend and I discovered that Wolf liked making jokes about Sui. Alot. Everyday, practically. But not only jokes. Once, she faked a Sui attempt, filmed it, and sent it to my friend N. My friend, traumatized, told me in the group chat and we were very pointed in saying that such things were not a laughing matter. Please keep on mind, Wolf is in her late 20’s. An age where you would think people no longer do such things.

Now, back to what happened. It all started a few days ago by a message from Wolf’s account.

Wolf’s account left a lengthly message in the Discord chat we share with N, my friend. The message was by someone we did not know, telling us that Wolf had committed a Sui attempt and was now in the hospital.

We were told by “Jordyn” that she was only telling the people closest to Wolf what happened, and that none of Wolf’s In Real Life friends knew. It was only us, and Wolf’s parents. She told us to stay quiet and to not post on Wolf’s personal instagram, as to not let anyone know.

Why were we being told this? Why did Jordyn “take” Wolf’s phone, go into her Discord account, and decide to send a message in a Discord chat that had had NO ACTIVITY FOR 10+ DAYS?

Something was nagging at me and my friends mind, something felt wrong with what was all being said.

Constantly were inconsistencies popping up in her messages and constantly did something feel OFF. Something didnt feel right.

Why were we, two random people on Wolf’s Discord list, being told all of this? Why were we being told by “Jordyn” that none of Wolf’s In Real Life friends knew, but we, were being told all of this information?

The next day (8 to 10 hours after receiving the first message), still hesitant to believe it all after receiving NO proof or concrete information, I asked what hospital she was being held at, so that I could see about sending flowers. Sure we weren’t close, but it was the least I could do. The answer I received?

“She's gotten a lot of flowers. Like pretty much the whole room is filled with flowers. We might get her a P.O. Box or get her a cash app account set up, so people can donate.”

Once again, why were we being told (without being pushed but still told nonetheless) that we could donate money to a Cashapp that Jordyn was going to make for Wolf’s rehabilitation or that we could send cards to a PO box? But oh sorry, no one’s been told what happened but flowers are everywhere, so much so that we’re tripping over them so send money instead.

Today, after multiple days of being told “updates” that didnt line up with what would happen to a Sui attempt survivor, I had a lengthly conversation with the friend that was living through all of this with me.

I decided to ask if “Jordyn” was comfortable sharing information on what happened. (She had already told my friend everything in Private Dms, so why not tell me, a medical student studying in neurology and psychology, and who is studying on how to help rehabilitate Sui Survivors?)

She said yes, so I asked. I asked, as delicately as I could, on what happened, because the things she had said did NOT line up with what procedures a doctor would normally do.

The answer I received? Wolf’s account leaving the Discord server, and this:

All I did was ask questions (because nothing was lining up and everything felt WRONG in everything this Jordyn/Wolf/whoever person was forcing down our throats on Discord everyday, and I figured I was owed that much since hey, Im being told all of this all of these horrible details in what happened) but I guess I was only allowed to that and only that, and to send money of course.

I (and my friend N) was made out to be a fool, an idiot. I was Gaslit, lied to, and manipulated.

Your name is not Wolf, but that is what you are. You are a Wolf in Sheep’s clothing, and that is what you will remain forever in my mind.

OurHome App - Agere Review

Ciao lovelies! Like many of you, agere / age regression has changed my life for the better in many ways, helping me cope and encouraging my creativity and fun spirit. There has always been one thing I wanted agere to help me with, though, and that is life organization / task management! I do have a planner, and a calendar system for all my events, etc, but I really wanted something with more daily applications that could improve my daily life, help me remember to do tasks, and be linked to my age regression headspace. And then I found this app called “OurHome,” and I absolutely love it, which is why I want to review this app for you today and talk about how I use it for my daily tasks!

DISCLAIMER: OFT and Lunaria are NOT sponsored by OurHome, the Apple App Store, or any other brand mentioned within the following post. The following review contains NO affiliate links or paid promotions, and is solely my personal opinion regarding this app based on my own experiences. 

How I found this app:

    I found out about the OurHome app from Tumblr, actually! The user who posted about this app has since changed blogs and is now a 18+ blog, so I don’t feel comfortable linking them here, my apologies.

What is OurHome?:

    The OurHome app is essentially a virtual to-do list, but connected to others! You can use this app with fellow regressors, or a CG if you have one. The idea is that you create a “Family” to add users to, and you can add tasks, reward points, rewards, due dates, etc. 

How I use OurHome:

    My explanation of this is probably going to be pretty long, but I’m including lots of tips for use of the app and other ideas, so it’s worth the read! 

Setup: 

    My CG and I use this app together. We set up our Family unit as “The Moon Family” (You can name your family whatever you want). For us to use this app, we both needed to download it on our separate devices, and my CG set up the Family account. From there, he sent a link to my email that I used to make my account as a part of the Moon Family. After that, we were connected on the app, super easily, and then we began customizing. 

Goals:

    I had made a journal page about things I wanted to improve on in day-to-day life, and I showed this to my CG. Using that page, we decided upon daily, recurring, or even weekly tasks for me. It was very important to me that this process was not just his ideas, but also my input and agreement. I knew that if we worked together on deciding these tasks, I’d be more likely to see the weight behind them and be happier to keep up with them. Plus, it’s very nice knowing that not only am I doing the tasks for reward points, but because the tasks are so closely linked to my own personal goals, I’m also doing them for myself!

Task Setup:

    The app has a LOT of customization options. For example, I have a recurring daily task to take my meds. This task gives me a notification every day at a specific time to ensure that I don’t forget. There are tasks that aren’t daily, as well, such as my “Laundry” task, which reoccurs weekly. We can also add one-time tasks for special events like picking up prescriptions or fun tasks like “send a selfie to -CG- with Buu (my cat).” Being able to adjust frequency and type of task is a helpful feature that I really like, but it’s not the only cool thing in this app.

Rewards Setup:

    I also really love how customizable the rewards system is. You can base it on points or tasks completed, and as you earn points, you can choose to save up for larger rewards or cash in whenever you want! My CG set up some rewards for me with my help in adding options. The big goal (2000 points) earns me a surprise gift, or if I don’t want to save that long, there are other options like Boba date (500 points). Having the system this way gives me a sense of autonomy while still helping me stay encouraged to do my tasks. 

Points and Due Dates:

    Tasks can also be assigned due dates, and can have late penalties which can take away existing points or reduce point value for completing tasks. I like the latter of those options, as I can be forgetful, and I don’t get discouraged by my existing points disappearing. This option allows for me to see the consequences of not doing tasks without feeling discouraged or losing motivation. 

My Fave Feature:

    Oh, and the best feature in my opinion? If my CG notices that any of my tasks are not complete, he can send a little reminder notification to me which shows up as a “Gentle nudge.” He can do this with a simple tap, and it’s easy for him, which makes him happy. Plus, I like this because it’s a kind reminder without forcing my CG to constantly remind me via text or check ins on the phone. 

Other Customization Perks:

    Oh, and you can add comments or photos to tasks and completed tasks, track completed tasks, you have access to an activity feed of all completed tasks and claimed rewards… There is a LOT to love here.

    Did I mention that you can add custom profile photos for yourself and your CG? The app provides some cute ones to choose from if you don’t want to upload anything, my CG and I are currently using the defaults, he is a turtle and I am a cat. Though, with how popular picrews are in the agere online space, I can totally see this feature being a good place to use some picrew images!

One Feature I Don't Use:

    There is a feature in this app that I don’t use, mainly because I don’t currently live with my CG, but this feature could be super useful for agere roommates or even for possibly planning trips/outings together. The feature I’m referring to is the shared grocery list! This feature allows you and anyone else in the family account to make a cumulative grocery list. Which means each of you can add things that you need/want. For roommates, the benefits are awesome for grocery shopping or notifying each other of when things run out. For those who don’t live together, you could use this as a wishlist, christmas list, birthday list, etc.

    (Side note, typing out the grocery list feature has me thinking… why don’t I use this with my CG?? Maybe we’ll check out the options next time we see each other.)

Luna’s OurHome Ratings:

User Experience: 5/5, I am always pleased to see such possibility for customization on something like this, and navigating the app is pleasantly easy! 

Useful: 5/5, I find this app very useful for my needs! It has many great features that I highly enjoy.

Accessibility: 5/5, As far as I can see, this app is available across both iPhone devices and Android devices.

Overall? I’d say, based upon how many awesome features this has and how it’s hard for me to give this anything but a glowing review, I rank this app overall a 5/5!

I hope this review can help you if you are deciding on an app to use for life organization as an age regressor!

Thank you so much for reading! If you got this far, have a virtual high-five! 

If you liked this, please check out my other content. I have a YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Tumblr, and Merch shop! 

Thank you again for reading! I’d like to dedicate this paragraph to reminding you how AWESOME you are! It’s important to me that each and every person reading this (yes, YOU) are aware of how awesome you are and how I’d like to ensure that you love yourself for who you are and all you’ve become up to this point!

With all that being said, have a great day, stay awesome, remember to love yourself, and I’ll see you in my next post, video, or whatever comes next!

THIS IS PART 1 OF A FREESTYLED TRANSLATION BASED ON AN MTL OF THE NOVEL - I DO NOT KNOW KOREAN (tho I did read the available translations of both the manhwa and novel) AND I'M NOT TRYING TO BE ACCURATE TO THE EXACT ORIGINAL SENTENCES/MEANINGS, BUT MORE JUST THE OVERALL ATMOSPHERE OF EVERYTHING (so maybe it's more accurate to call this a very much inofficial localisation??)

MOST IMPORTANTLY, I'M DOING THIS BECAUSE IT'S FUN - now, onto the text:

'Please someone come save us - if we have to keep going like this, we’ll die.'

Even the fan whined as it kept on spinning, blowing ever more hot air his way. A closed office like this, without air conditioning in the middle of summer... This had to be employee abuse. Yeo-woon sighed and opened the messenger program at the bottom right of his screen.

‘Fake friends (Ad) On a hot day like today, this can cool my heart….’

Everything really had perfectly aligned to make people feel as miserable as possible. Why was it that the only ones who reliably contacted him first were sponsored ads? Maybe it was time to get some better friends… But instead, he opened their group chat and sent a message to express his boredom.

- Did you guys get lunch?

Seon-yong: no. I want pizza

Jeong Se-hyung: Fuck everything. I swallowed so much hate today, I won’t need anything for the rest of the week.

Jeong Se-hyung: Manager, how can you expect all this shit to get done in just one day?? Could YOU actually do that???

Jeong Se-hyung: Guess when you next drag us out drinking, I’ll just pretend like I don’t know my actions have consequences either and punch you in the face to make you pay for it all.

Seon-yong: lol

Seon-yong: you’re still better than lee yeo-woon. I saw that guy put away money in a savings account

Seon-yong: for a hitman

Jeong Se-hyung: ? Lmao got barely enough cash for an emergency fund, but still pretends he can pay for luxuries like that.

- And now I’m going to make another one just for you ^^

Jeong Se-hyung: Waa

Seon-yong: do it

And so he realized once more that it was work time. Those who would drop off the face of the earth after six in the evening read and answered messages faster than anyone else at this hour.

Jeong Se-hyung: So where should I download my resignation letter from?

Seon-yong: wait but you just bought a car haha

Seon-yong: you got a lot of money lying around?

Jeong Se-hyung: Oh, thank you. Your compassionate words have calmed my rage…

‘I’m bored.’

There was another chat that caught Yeo-woon’s eye while he was aimlessly spinning the mouse wheel with his finger. The saved name for that person was ‘Business Partner’.

‘I’m bored. Maybe I can message him first, for a change? It’s been a while since I did that.’

Yeo-woon double-clicked the chat to open it and put his hands to the keyboard.

- Are you still sleeping?

He pressed Enter to send the question, but then the ‘1’ next to the message refused disappear, indicating it wasn’t being read. This ‘Business Partner’, whenever he was up, was someone who gave answers faster than a speeding bullet. Yeo-woon, who had been waiting for a reply for a while now, guessed that he must still be asleep.

- They didn’t fix the aircon today either.

- Remember today’s the deadline?

- I won the bet hah.

He was laughing in the text, but in reality he couldn’t even smile thanks to the overwhelming heat.

‘Boss, is it really such a waste to you, to fix the air conditioning? Then surely living is a waste to you as well…’

Yeo-woon picked up his charging cell phone and opened its banking app. After depositing another 30,000 won into the ‘hitman savings account’, he stared for a while at what he managed to save up so far. Then he put his phone down again.

“I’m having trouble saving any money…”

He took a deep breath and glanced at the clock on the computer screen. It was just past one o’clock. What a time for that person to still be asleep… It was such an enviable life. Yeo-woon leaned back in his chair and drooped like a sloth.

“…hot.”

‘I’m hot, sleepy, hungry and tired. If this isn’t a beggar’s life, what is? I really want to go home. I want to quit my job.’

He wanted to go home and play games to his heart’s content and whenever he’d get sleepy, get to lie down and sleep right away.

“Assistant Lee.”

“Ah!”

At the sound of a voice behind him, Yeo-woon hurried to mash the Esc key, until the chat window disappeared. When he stiffly turned his head, he saw Assistant Manager Kim, a grin on his face and wiping sweat off his forehead with the back of one hand.

“Sir?”

“What’s up? Were you doing something?”

“Oh, no. I just didn’t expect…”

“What, were you surprised?”

“…Ah, right. Just surprised.”

Yeo-woon smiled calmly and swiveled his chair around. Surely, the contents of that one group chat remained unseen... If his plan to kill the boss was discovered, Yeo-woon’s hard-earned image of a healthy, polite, and upright elite would go up in flames.

“Here’s Assistant Lee’s coffee.”

‘…Oh, maybe he really didn’t see it?’

“Haha, thank you…”

Yeo-woon smiled awkwardly and accepted the coffee he was offered with both hands. When Assistant Manager Kim handed it over, he could tell there was ice rattling inside the disposable cup. Some water droplets that had formed on the surface of the cup ran downwards, making his palms wet in the process.

“You skipped lunch, didn’t you? Are you okay?”

“I feel a little bloated today. When that happens, I just throw up whatever I try to eat.”

“Oh my, what can be done about such a sickly disposition in a guy?”

“Haha, I’ve just always been a bit weaker in the summer.”

‘So fix the aircon, for fuck’s…’ Yeo-woon internally grumbled.

“When I’m not feeling well, for me, hm… Is it okay for you to drink coffee on an empty stomach?”

“Yes, it’s okay.”

“But you usually don’t eat breakfast either. It’s never good to put caffeine into an empty stomach.”

“Thank you for your concern.”

“Well, I can’t let my subordinates come to harm.”

‘Pretty sure I’d sooner pass out from heat stroke than get sick from some coffee…’

“Don’t worry, I got a death insurance.”

“Oh, does it work well?”

“Well, I haven’t died yet…”

“That’s true. Then tell me your verdict later.”

Assistant Manager Kim was laughing as he flapped his shirt, while Yeo-woon just wondered what was so funny to him. Judging by the bright red face, he seemed just as affected by the relentless heat. Why did their air conditioning have to break during such a hot summer? It felt like they were being steamed alive in a boiling pot…

“So what do you do after work these days?”

“Me? I exercise.”

“Exercise…? Oh, are you still going swimming?”

“Yes.”

“Ah…. Every day?”

“Yes.”

At Yeo-woon’s answer, he narrowed his eyes and muttered, “Now, that’s not right, is it?”

‘…Are you supernatural, to always know these things?’

Well, he really did exercise, but he couldn’t do it every day. The life of an office worker was just like that.

“The swimming pool is closed on Mondays….”

“….”

“And I was too exhausted the day before yesterday so I couldn’t go.”

“….”

“And I sometimes take weekends off.”

“…Hmm.”

“Uh, and something also came up yesterday…”

In the end, the truth was that he hadn’t gone more than once or maybe twice this week.

“Assistant Lee.”

“….”

“I know everything.”

Hearing those words, he felt a bit wronged. Originally, it wasn’t this bad. He used to exercise pretty diligently, but this week had been a total disaster…

“But I’m really going today. I even brought my swimsuit.”

“No… I’m not talking about that.”

“Ah?”

He grinned in a sinister way at Yeo-woon, as he said things that made no sense. That face, that seemed to know everything, only made him feel even more uncomfortable.

“Assistant Lee! Didn’t you get a lover?”

“…Ah?”

Yeo-woon’s eyes went blank. He had no idea how to react to Assistant Manager Kim’s words. What kind of lover would have suddenly appeared to him…? He didn’t even have the spare time for something like that.

“I can see it so clearly. Nowadays, whenever Assistant Lee is done with work, he quickly packs his bags and leaves right away.”

“…”

“I know what I’ve seen. So you really have a lover, huh?”

“No, it’s not…”

Yeo-woon closed his eyes with a troubled look on his face. He really didn’t have a lover, but he was a bit reluctant to tell the truth as well.

His image at the company was that of a flawless and healthy young man. So to admit that he played video games to a degree that could be called an addiction was a bit… Already, even if he only said that he played games in his free time as a hobby, he was often looked at like he was pathetic.

Yeo-woon’s hobby was playing online MMORPG games. The game he played, ‘Illusion’, had been in the Summer Festival event for two weeks now, and you had to log in for at least three hours a day to receive the rewards.

In addition, in order to do guild quests for limited items, he had to rush out as soon as his work shift ended for the day. Right now, it was also vacation season for all students, so if you didn’t do this, you were likely to fall far behind in the event’s rankings. And even though he wasn’t that interested in the rankings, there was one item he really wanted to have among the ones from this event, so he had no choice.

“...like that?”

“You mean there isn’t one? You don’t have a lover?”

“Yes, there is none.”

“No way…”

“Really…”

“Oh, wait, I know! So it’s just casual?”

He snapped his fingers and had a faint smile on his face. Yeo-woon tried hard to suppress the frown that wanted to overtake his own face. It’s relationships and more relationships with this guy. Why was he so interested in other people’s dating situation?

“If you want to marry your secret lover, you need to save up a lot of money. Right?”

“Haha…”

‘I shouldn’t become a boss like that in the future. I need to resign before something like that can happen.’

Even though Yeo-woon was inwardly scolding him, he showed off his inherent social skills by smiling shyly and shaking his head.

Ding!

“….”

“….”

The assistant manager’s interrogation was interrupted by a sound that came from the monitor. Both of their eyes got stuck on what had popped up on it.

Business Partner: Hey ><

“What business?”

Assistant Manager Kim asked in a puzzled voice. Yeo-woon’s blood froze at the unexpected situation. He usually had the sound turned off, but it seemed like it was turned on now because he played around with some settings earlier and forgot to turn them back.

Business Partner: Awake now

He couldn’t make any excuses and realized the situation right away, freezing, as Assistant Manager Kim smiled slyly and tapped him on the shoulder.

“Is that your girlfriend?”

“…no.”

“The emoticon is so cute. Is she young?”

“That’s not…”

“Is she a college student?”

“No, that…”

Ding!

Business Partner: Hehe I woke up a little late today because classes got canceled

“She’s totally a college student.”

Stop, stop…

Ding!

Business Partner: The aircon’s still not fixed? I feel sorry for you, honey

Please, stop…

Business Partner: The aircon works perfect at my place tho. Do you want to come over?

“That’s your girlfriend.”

“It’s not…”

“It is.”

“It’s not.”

“But why is the name saved as Business Partner?”

“…”

“Look, I don’t mind this! Are you trying to sneakily talk at work?”

“That…”

“Wow, Assistant Lee has become brave, huh? It’s a common problem with kids these days. They all use tricks like these. Interesting though, right? Wouldn’t you agree, Assistant Lee?”

“…”

“Huh? I’m not scolding you for this. Why is your face so pale?”

‘Fuck. Rumors will spread.’

Cold sweat was running down his back. Yeo-woon shook his head vigorously and made one last ditch effort to get the truth out.

“Sir, please! This really isn’t my girlfriend. It’s just a friend!”

“Funny. Does your friend always call you ‘honey’?”

“It’s a friend who calls me that as a joke… Yes.”

‘I’m ruined.’

He wasn’t listening anymore.

‘I wouldn’t even believe that myself.’

There are usually no friends like that. Not without some feelings between them anyway. His lips became dry. Assistant Manager Kim hummed a song that started with “Hello” and took out a toothbrush from a drawer. Yeo-woon kept muttering that it wasn’t true a few more times, talking to the back of his head, but he went ignored.

‘Wouldn’t it be unfair, to blame this all on my nonexistent girlfriend…’

So the arrow of resentment was aimed at someone else instead. Yeo-woon opened the chat window with his ‘Business Partner’ and started typing angrily.

- Now you’re awake, why don’t you also go eat something?

The 1 next to the speech bubble quickly disappeared. So he was watching the chat in real time.

Business Partner: I ordered rice

- Hope you choke

Business Partner: Lmaooooo Is it so hot there it’s like a sauna?

- Hope you choke

Business Partner: Poor you lol

Business Partner: Then come visit my place

Business Partner: My room right now is like Antarctica. It’s so cold

“Why is he asking me to come over to his house every chance he gets these days…?”

It’s too persistent to just dismiss it as a joke anymore. No matter what he’d say, all he got in response was offers to meet up. But he was reluctant because he’d never before met with anyone he got to know in a game, and he felt no real motivation to change that in the future. It would be better for both parties to keep an online relationship exactly where they’d first met: online.

‘I watched I Want to Know last week, and worst case, you might lose your organs and even your vision…’

He’d initially been on the fence about it. But after watching that broadcast, he’d decided against it. Offline group meet-ups shouldn’t be attended, unless you wanted to die.

- Quit joking

Business Partner: Joking? I’m serious lol

Business Partner: You said you’re curious about my place

- Not your place, your cat

- Can’t you at least show me a picture?

- (emoticon)

Yeo-woon sent a peach emoticon with sparkling eyes and confetti falling down. The earnest look on its face made him feel weak, so hopefully his ‘Business Partner’ would feel the same and send a picture of the cat.

Business Partner: Why do you want a picture of my baby? You can take a look in person

- You… ㅡ.ㅡ

‘One more failure to add to the collection.’

It had already been 6 months of him begging for a picture of this cat, ever since he heard a soft meowing in the back of a voice call. He kept hearing it, but still didn’t know its name, or even fur color, or why he wouldn’t just tell him these things.

As he thought about this, he relaxed in the chair. When it suddenly got spun around, he saw Assistant Manager Kim, who had been talking to him earlier and now muttered incorrect lyrics with a toothbrush in his mouth and a rotten expression on his face.

“I’m jealous. Work is over. They all just go home?”

“….”

“And then off to get some action.”

“No!”

“It’s a shame. I have to stay late again today, King of late work right here, Assistant Lee.”

“It’s not like that…”

“Huh? Are you staying late as well for today?”

“…No, I’m going, but… Just listen to what I have to say. Please.”

“Hah. I’m off to brush my teeth, then. Love is such a pure affair!”

He smiled softly, picked up his toothbrushing cup, and walked off. After all, Yeo-woon was known for being the most agreeable person in the office.

Thoughts of pure destruction filled his head.

- Stop texting;

Business Partner: lol? You texted first…

- Then don’t call me honey.

Business Partner: We both know it’s not like that lol. Unless…?

- No butㅠㅠ; Other people mistake you for my lover… I almost got scolded just now.

Business Partner: What lmao then change the screen name

- Already changed.

Business Partner: What is it?

- Business Partner

Business Partner: Huh?

- What?

Business Partner: ?? lmao

Business Partner: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

“…?”

What was so funny about it? Wasn’t it fine? Yeo-woon frowned as he looked at the chat window filled with long strings of hahaha that just kept on coming.

- Why are you laughing?

Business Partner: Ah, he doesn’t even let me laugh

- Is this funny to you?^^

Business Partner: Yes pfffff, thinking about you getting caught like that makes my stomach hurt

- Take medicine^^

Business Partner: It’s not that kind

- I know^^;

Business Partner: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA business partnerㅠ

“….”

‘What’s wrong with Business Partner? Then what should I change it to? I can’t save it as my mother….’

Yeo-woon stared at the monitor with a sullen expression and let out a small sigh.

‘I guess I’ll have to change the name again. But what would be better?’

Business Partner: But we’re lovers

- Uh…

- F off

Business Partner: ㅠㅠ I’m wounded… Honey, is our relationship just a joke to you? Let’s break up

- Go choke some more

Business Partner: ᄃᄃ Am I embarrassing you?

- Yes

Business Partner: ㅠㅠ Am I annoying you?

- Oh yes

Business Partner: lol

Business Partner: But you still like me

“….”

Business Partner: Ah you got caught so now you’re quiet >ᄉ<

“On what basis are you saying this?”

Shocked. That’s how he felt every time, because he was dealing with a guy who loved himself way too much. Or maybe a guy hoping to drive him crazy, with how much he enjoyed making fun of him.

“It’s really not that at all though?”

Yeo-woon repeatedly scrolled up and back down again as he tapped his foot. Every day their conversations went like this. Why was he always like this? Was this normal? Were other gaming couples like this too?

‘I don’t know why we’re talking like this when we’re not really dating. But saying these things would just make it worse…’

- You’re so fucking annoying lol. You’re the most fucking annoying man in the world.

Business Partner: Translation – I really fucking like you, but I got caught and that’s annoying.

- lol

Business Partner: Ugh… Now I have to laugh because I got caught again.

- ㅠㅠ

Business Partner: Ugh… Now I have to cry because I got caught again.

It was a situation much like getting stuck between a rock and a hard place. Normally, he would just go silent at this point, but today he felt incredibly bored, so he’d keep it going for just a bit longer. As he was killing time with this meaningless banter, the office door suddenly opened and he heard a pleasant voice:

“Hello. I’m here to repair the air conditioning.”

“Oh! Hello!”

Behind the man, he could nearly see pure white archangel wings unfolding with a soft flutter.

‘Guess the boss didn’t want to die by my hands today yet! Congratulations on extending your lifespan!’

Yeo-woon was so excited that he kicked away from his desk to get up faster.

- I have to go. Someone came to fix the air conditioning!

He quickly left his computer, and less than a minute later, a small message notification window appeared at the bottom of the desktop, accompanied by the sound of another ding.

Business Partner: Hyung, you remember the bet you made with me, right?

FULL STORY OF THE SAGA OF THE EXPLOSIVE PHONE AND THE ELECTRONICS STORE THAT TRIED TO GET ME TO COMMIT DOMESTIC TERRORISM! -

This is going to take a hot minute to type, so be patient

on June 18th 2024 I was out running errands, and picked up dinner, in doing so I overdrew the credit union account, I THOUGHT I had zeroed it out, but it had actually overdrawn.

I didn't find out until after the bank had closed, and since the 19th was Juneteenth (a federal holiday in the states) the CU was closed.

I THOUGHT I could sign the account up through Zelle and/or cashapp and just transfer money directly into the account, but Zelle continually failed, and cash app let me enroll it, but not transfer the money to the account.

Continually they said the issue was with the DEBIT CARD, not the account and told me to call the bank. I couldn't.

On the 20th, I woke up early enough to call the bank, and began the arduous process of verifying over the phone with my dad just so I could talk to them, and Zelle, and try to figure out why the everloving hell the zelle system said there was something wrong with the card and not letting me even sign up so I could transfer money into the account.

I spent four hours on this. Calling one, calling the other, being on hold. and NO ONE could fix the problem.

I repeated myself so many times I was tired of hearing myself. I got one person who said it was the carrier, so I had to call t-mobile, except it wasn't tmobile it was mint, and tmobile transferred me to aura and not mint, and finally to mint who said 'oh that feature is already unlocked on the account you need to call the banking institution or zelle.

On the final call to zelle, the new tech was refusing to accept the verification. and starts going through her little trapper keeper script of why she was refusing to accept the verification when we had all the answers all the info and had ACTIVELY BEEN VERIFYING FOR FOUR HOURS until this point when she says, off handedly during her script read (she was literally just reading the fucking bullet points, I could HEAR the pauses as she shifted line down) "Your account must have more than a dollar in it to enroll"

I spin, looking at the phone only to realize that the phone my dad is holding has expanded, and popped the back of itself off. And immediately begin internally panicking but externally I'm just being frustrated because THAT was the problem for the past four hours, not me entering info wrong, not the information being incorrect with the bank, not the debit card being mislinked, not a system error THE ACCOUNT WAS ALREADY OVER DRAWN AND IT TOOK FOUR HOURS AND WIGHT TECHS TO TELL ME THIS CONDITION?!

I tell dad to immediately hang up the phone and give it to me, I'm ready to rip my hair out and he thinks I'm going to throw the phone and kind of clings to it. I say, firmer. "Give me that timebomb NOW" and he goes 'what is the pro- what the fuck is that?"

I saiod "That is a spicy pillow and you need to give itt to me -now-. I'm taking it to best buy it should still be under warranty." "Yeah, yeah.." and he handed me the phone "When did that happen?" "When you took the phone out of the case to talk to zelle a second ago. It's blowing out, and It doesn't need to be here." "Yeah you go handle... this..."

I explain the zelle issue why it wouldn't enroll, and go get dressed, grab the spicy ravioli and run out the door with the idea that I'll go to the credit union two cities over, fix the overdraft and then take care of the phone return. While driving it's still expanding so I reprioritize and decide to return the phone first.

In my mind, this is a simple thing. I know the phone is under warranty, it has become a safety issue, their standard practice of "keep this and send it off" is not a viable option so it will HAVE to be a refund/in store exchange.

I know this because I've had to do this once before in the past. I know how their policies work, I know the standard returns but more importantly I know the severity of a bloated li-ion battery and how fucking important it is to get it into a safe disposal unit to be picked up by hazardous waste techs with a fireproof vehicle

I go in, at this point I am forwardly professional, I am not panicked, excitable or anything I have my mask of professionalism on and I'm all fucking business. I go to customer service and say 'I need to make a return but before that, do you have a fire blanket or fire suppressant for this fire hazard" and I gently set the phone on the counter. My only thought is to safely contain this ACTIVELY EXPANDING lithium battery.

She looks down, eye go wide and goes "I don't know let me check" and runs to the back, I hear from the back "We have a bucket of sand" and I retort "That will do, this needs to be contained immediately please"

They come get it, and take the potential fire hazard to be buried in the sand bucket. NOW we may commence the return process. I immediately put on the customer service interaction mask, and give them the information for the account, I joke that my receipt for the purchase had bleached out in the car (It had, I keep it in the sunglasses holder and it had legitimated denatured) and we agree that is why they have everything digital.

The CS says it's a rapid exchange in store for this, I said yay, that's actually really nice, because 'express' is not great. She agrees, and sends me to the mobile department, I say take all the time they need, I'll pick a new phone and confirm it's what my dad wants, and I know the paperwork is going to take a hot minute.

I confirm dad doesn't care as long as it's functional, so I pick out the same type, but updated model of phone (Moto G Stylus 2023 model to replace the 2021 model that is buried in sand in the back)

I talk to mobile, connecting with the associate over customer horror stories and the like while the new phone that he, customer service, geek squad techs, and two other associates and a manager have seen, agreed this is going to be an instore exchange because of the circumstances.

We begin setting up the phone and I realize the sim card is still in the bomb. I roll back over in my wheelchair to ask if it's safe to get the sim card. And they say they have to check the IMEI anyway and I bawk. We've already confirmed it's probably not safe to turn the phone on right now, and they say it's okay, it's on the sim tray. I didn't know that, good information. And I ask, cautiously, if it'd be okay to turn it on BRIEFLY so I can get only the login email on it to know which email my dad used for logging into google so I can get his contacts and account synched

the tech says "I don't recommend it" I asked if it would be okay to do so knowingly against advice to turn it on, get the info, turn it off and rebury the thing?

By now, it's been confirmed the battery is no longer expanding, and it's not actively leaking, smoking or heating up. We all agree it's a compromised cell within the battery but it hasn't been breeched, so it's safe-ISH to handle, briefly, but it shouldn't be agitated too much just in case.

I suggest removing the back fully so there's no pressure points. I'm ignored.

I get the info, turn off the fire bomb and hand it back, where it's taken back to what I assume is the sand bucket.

after a little while, the replacement phone is ready for login, I begin setting up the phone for my dad and logging in his information so it'll be set up and ready to go. They begin the return paperwork for the other phone.

At this point it's been about 45 minutes. It's been a smooth process where everyone was on the same side of 'we do not want to agitate the bomb, and Asrya should be leaving with a functional phone and NOT a fire hazard."

when they try to do the return, the SKU (sales identification number) comes up as dead meaning that the store chain doesn't carry that model any more, and the system won't accept the item as a return for cash, credit, or refund. It just -won't- . Initially, I tell them I've had to do this only twice before (I didn't mention it was spread out over like twelve years that I've been using this specific protection plan with Best Buy) and that they may have to store manager override it.

I've had to utilize this process before with laptops I had to exchange due to manufacture defects... so I actually do know how the policy works, the former general manager of the store had explained it to me YEARS ago.

So I tell them that it happens, and to take their time, I know it's a pain in the ass and I'm sorry I'm taking up so much resources, but it's really okay and as long as the end result is good, I don't mind waiting.

At this point it's 1 in the afternoon.

I've been at the best buy for an hour.

The manager comes up after a while, telling me that it's physically impossible. And I'm going to have to use the 'express return' system, it's the only solution that their system is allowing them to process.

I start getting frustrated, which means I start crying because I am fighting the urge to begin yelling. I've now been here for over an hour, I was in the middle of handling the situation and I NEED the phone in order to process the banking issue this all started with so my dad doesn't get charged overdraft fees.

I explain I can't wait a week for a new phone and what am I supposed to do with the bloated phone?

they explain this process, and get snippy telling me "It's 2-3 days not a week" I tell them it's 2-3 BUSINESS days "well... yeah" "This is THURSDAY, at the earliest it'll process Friday then ship out on Monday, if I'm LUCKY it'll arrive on TUESDAY at the earliest, and maybe not until Thursday of next week! During that whole time my dad's account will have overdraft fees being applied to it for each day! We can't afford that! On top of that you want me to pay a 70$ deposit just to do this! We do not have that money right now"

I was told I could apply for and use the best buy credit card.

I asked for a phone number to call, that there HAD to be an alternative solution, I said I didn't want to take the fire hazard home with me.

By now they had REMOVED THE PHONE FROM THE BUCKET and were walking around with it after me, trying to get me to take the fucking compromised battery.

I tell them to put that thing back in the sand bucket. And they give me 'corporate's number' a 1877 number. I ask if that's the number to call to talk to a supervisor or manager because this is an exception to the policy if ever there was one. If anyone would have the directions for overriding this dead sku problem, it should be the store manager's area or district manager

I am told there is no area or district manager.

I am FLOORED, I realize I've not been around this system for a couple of years but that information just... baffles me. I ask who THEY call when they have a situation come up that can't be handled in store.

They tell me they call the 1877 number.

I am BAFFLED by this, but I call the 1877 number, the call id comes up as 'best buy express kiosk" and I groan because I recognize this as the trunk line call center. I brace for and prepare to handle this for an hour. I am still trying to be as professional as possible.

I have now been here for going on two hours.

I roll out into the entry way, they CHASE ME with the fucking firebomb of a phone and ask if I'm leaving. I look back at them holding this fucking bloated phone and say no I'm just trying to get out of everyone's way so I can call the number and would they PLEASE put that thing back again and leave it in the safe bucket!

I spend the better part of hour three struggling to get through these customer service techs, explaining the situation and begging for them to transfer me to a manager or supervisor. I'm being denied this at every turn until I get to "returns" and am told to ask THEM for a manager by a tech who seemed to understand the situation and why I was calling.

I'm transferred, the tech listens, agrees that I should NOT be handed a firebomb to go home with, and should not be expected to ship a bloated li-ion battery in the mail and that it should be an in store return with store credit. I ask her to please explain this to the manager and go to remove my headset and put her on speaker so the manager can hear it from corporate

the call disconnected

I break

I begin crying, as quietly as I can, and the manager goes 'well' and I explain the call disconnected... I have to get back to that point.. and roll back into the entry way to begin the process again.

I'm crying, I just need this to work.

I've been here for nearly three hours.

The new tech that answers refuses to confirm the account and begins insisting I give my personal number and email to him. Refusing to accept the account information.

He puts me on hold. I call the corporate number again, merge the calls, and he has me on a mute hold. I get another tech that sound like the same guy, who also eventually puts me on hold, and then disconnects the call.

I'm sobbing and breaking down at this point, I'm having a panic attack, and struggling to maintain any type of composure at this point. I tell them I'm going out to my car so I'm not causing a scene in their store and is the manager positive there is no other option. I need to be leaving with a working phone, or at least I do NOT need to be leaving with a fucking FIRE HAZARD that they are expecting me to ship in the mail it is ILLEGAL to ship compromised batteries in the mail.

this fucking manager looks me dead in the face and says I can purchase a new phone to use, and just bring it back after the 'express return' is finished, or I can just do the express return, but there is NO WAY at all physically for her to do the return, in any shape, form or fashion, that I will have to take the fire hazard phone with me and ship it to their facility when the new phone comes in the mail in five days or so

I say I do not feel comfortable holding onto a FIRE HAZARD for a week, much less being without the ability to do the banking and is best buy going to cover the overdraft fees I'll be incurring and what am I supposed to do with a fucking bloated phone that could explode?!

Her solution? "You can go to walmart and buy a bucket and sand and put it in there if you don't feel safe with it, I hear that sand is good for batteries like this"

I snap... I just.. break down and begin crying because at this point I've been here for three hours, I know what she's suggesting is absolutely wrong, she's lied to me about not having an area/district manager, and she's standing over me like some fucking goon while telling me to take a BOMB home and then send it in the federal post in a week!

I break down, I take the stupid fucking bomb, they make me factory reset the phone I had been working on previously, I take the sim card, and I ask again if there is ANYONE I can call to talk to that will help. Who do THEY call when there's a situation because there HAS to be SOMEONE. They insist that nope, there's ONLY the 1877 number to the call centre.

I'm bawling, I'm broken, and crying I'm having heart issues, my head is screaming, my face feels burnt, and I roll out to the car and put the chair away. While unpacking the chair I realize I had actually put a pack of switch thumbsticks in the cart because I had been hoping to buy them with the leftover store credit I'd have when they all thought it was going to be a store credit exchange.

With my legs SCREAMING in pain, and barely able to walk, I limp back in on my crutches, unintelligibly sobbing and return the nearly-pilfered item, then go back to the truck. St this point I've set the phone on my driver's seat, I begin working on possibly loading the chair back on the truck when there's a loud, gunshot-like POP noise

and for a brief, horrifying moment, I think the battery has just exploded in my truck. Only to realize the heat had actually boiled a bottle of soda, and THAT was what had just exploded.

I'm determined, angry, frustrated, pissed, and petty... I don't want this fucking bomb in my possession, I know for a goddamn fact I am not supposed to have this bomb in my possession, I know that if it goes off and causes damages that best buy will be liable for it, and frankly, while the payout might be nice the inconvenience of having to deal with the damage, replacement, insurance, lawyers, and court costs and investigation are too much for me to handle. I don't want to go through it I JUST want a phone that works, the bank situation to be fixed and to NOT HAVE A FUCKING BOMB IN MY POSSISSION

I begin calling the useless as fuck call centre again, and for the next three and a half hours (totaling seven now) I continually try to explain, repeat, get transferred, sobbing, crying and getting hung up on by asshole techs. and I'm losing more and more composure as it goes on.

I FINALLY get a tech who says 'it should be store credit' I said I need the instructions on how to do that because the manager is claiming to not know how to do it. and I beg her to talk to the manager. Success. I go back in side, clinging to this tiny spider thread of hope that they'll fix it.

the manager takes my phone, asks if she can step tot he side, I say yes, and she comes back and they're both just repeating that the only solution is for me to send this bomb in the mail

I tell them it's ILLEGAL to send it, it's literally a federal crime. It CANNOT be policy to do this. None of them will budge. None will do the override, they're INSISTING I have to wait for a phone to come in, and then send a BOMB in the mail. I tell them this is probably why we've had mail trucks catch fire if they're telling people to do this it's ILLEGAL

The fucking manager says 'it's not actively leaking, it's not smoking or how it SHOULD be legal to send it in the mail' I ask for the salary person she mentioned. I go tot the mobile guy I'd been talking to six hours ago. I ask HIM to get me the salary person. This woman comes over and stands over me, arms crossed, with them angrily standing in front of me, arms crossed, like they're trying to intimidate me out of the store for trying to run a scam.

they continue to tell me there's no other option that they wouldn't spend six hours to tell me know they'd help if they could that I'm going to have to use the mail system.

I ask the salary manager who they call. She says corporate. I say that is horseshit. She gets offended and I clarify. That if their new policies is to call the call center number they gave me that is a horse shit policy and THEY are in danger of running into DANGEROUS situations like this without a way of getting out or around it. Who do I call to complain about that policy then?

"You can complain but it won't do anything to change the answer"

"Who do I call?!"

They give me no answer.

I leave

after seven hours of fighting with them. I leave, in possession of a fire hazard, my head pounding, feeling sick, having now gone through MULTIPLE break downs, melt downs, and panic attacks over the past seven hours of being on site trying to get them to do the right things.

I go home and explain to my parents what happened, I unload the tiny amount of groceries I'd picked up (twenty bucks of emergency cash) and realize how much bullshit it is what had happened. So I begin calling the local investigative news stations to see if they want to look into this.

One of the news stations is VERY interested in the fact this store told me to buy a bucket of sand to put a dangerous fire/explosive into. They're interested that the store can't be called with inbound calls, that there's apparently no area or district manager to call, that the store sent me home with an explosive and told me to send it in the mail.

I send the store to the news station. I call other stations, they're not as interested. That's fine. I'm advised to call the attorney general of commerce and leave them the story. I do.

June 21 2024 - I still need to correct the banking situation so I determine to drive to the bank, make a physical deposit with some change I have on hand to bring the account high enough to accept the cash app deposit I tried to withdraw two days before. And while I am in the area of the credit union, I'll go to a different best buy, explain what happened, and see if they give me the same answer.

The bank was thankfully open two hours later than I though, giving me plenty of time. They accepted the deposit, and I was on my way, I get to the other Best Buy.

The battery has expanded again by this point. But still no leaks, smoke, or active heat but I don't trust it, and moving it is a bad idea. I take it inside, I explain what happened and this store is absolutely horrified of my story.

I show them receipts of what happened. I explain their responses, their 'solutions' and their suggestions. This store's crew is just locked in abject horror that this happened. I explain why the other store wouldn't do the store credit and they say 'let me call my manager' and I tell them about how the other store told me there was NO area or district manager.

They look confused "Well he's kind of a roaming district manager, but... yeah... we have... I have a lot to tell Abby."

I breathe a sigh of relief. I was right, there's an area manager, and a roaming district manager... I wasn't crazy I did remember correctly how their policies worked... I tell them about the 'we call corporate' situation and how I was on the phone for 7 hours thereabouts, being hung up on.. they all continue to look horrified... at this point they hit the same dead sku issue, and I lament a possible repeat. They said they were NOT going to let me have that bomb back, we were NOT going to be sending it through the mail (one even said 'Isn't that considered like.. terrorism?!" and I agreed I was pretty sure it was. ) they said I was leaving with a phone they just had to get 'Abby' to tell them how to bypass this... and she did. In like.. five minutes.

"Is store credit okay? It'll probably have to be store credit" "YES! That's perfect, it means I can just get the phone and a new plan..." They help me find a phone they have (Moto G 5g 2024 model) and even with a new plan, I had 33% of store credit left over!

They tell me that phone is NOT leaving the sand bucket, and there's a brief funny moment of one associate holding up the sim tray (they'd used it to confirm the IMEI and confirm it was the phone under warranty) and the tech laughing and holding this tiny piece of plastic "This is probably the least problematic part of the phone"

I agree... the situation was handled, and I tell them I DID report them to the AG, and the news stations, and one of the associates goes "I'm REALLY surprised that store did that... that's the main hub store of the district, and he's on vacation right now but Roy, the district manager... that's his HOME store... I don't know what they were thinking" and I go "Roy.... Roy.... Mister Roy? Kinda tall, brown/black hair? Used to be the General manager of that store? THAT Mister Roy is the district manager?" "Yeah! He was the general manager there for a while." "Yeah about three0four years ago, I've met him! He's the one who told me about the way the protection plans work"

They all agreed he was not going to be happy, and any new friends that store makes from my reports were justified, they were glad I raised hell about the battery because it would have been a disaster if it'd gone off, and "didn't they know how dangerous these batteries are" and "why the hell did they send you home with that?" and me agreeing it was insane and wrong and just... feeling better to know I wasn't crazy in the way I knew the world was SUPPOSED to work.

So in the end - the banking situation was handled, I was able to get a new working phone for my dad, that did indeed transfer all information, contacts, images and everything over (for as evil as it's become, google synching system and account connections are INCREDIBLE for this exact situation) and I had enough money left over to get the switch thumbsticks I'd wanted to get from the other store... I still have some money left over. and they were cheaper than my local store.

the news station hasn't gotten back to me yet, but they may not until Monday at the earliest, but the situation is done at least, (largely) and the end was a good one.

and that concludes the epic saga of "Asrya and the exploding battery - and the store manager that wanted her to commit an act of domestic terrorism"

How to Get Money from a Closed Cash App Account?

If your Cash App account is closed, it can be frustrating, especially if you still have funds in it. Whether your account was closed due to a violation of terms or other reasons, there are ways to recover your money. This guide will walk you through several scenarios and steps to get your money back from a closed Cash App account.

How Do I Get My Money from a Closed Cash App Account If My Bank is Not Linked?

If your Cash App account was closed and you didn’t have a linked bank account, recovering your money may seem complicated, but there are still options.

1. Contact Cash App Support

Your first step should be to contact Cash App support directly. You can reach them through the app (if you still have access) or through their website. Provide your account details and explain that your bank was not linked when the account was closed. Cash App’s support team may help by arranging a refund through other methods, such as by sending the money to a different payment service or issuing a physical check.

2. Use Another Payment Method

If Cash App allows it, you can try linking a new bank account or debit card to your account, even if it is closed for regular transactions. In some cases, users are still able to connect a bank account for refund purposes, even if the account cannot perform standard functions.

How Do I Get My Money From Cash App That Closed My Account and Don’t Have a Phone Number?

If your Cash App account is closed and you no longer have access to the phone number associated with the account, recovering your funds becomes a bit more challenging.

1. Reach Out via Email

If you cannot use your phone number, try contacting Cash App’s support via email. Provide any information you can about your account, such as your email address, transaction history, and personal details used during sign-up. The support team may still be able to help recover your money by verifying your identity through other means.

2. Use Cash App’s Website for Recovery

Cash App provides an option to log into your account using your email address instead of a phone number. Visit the Cash App website and use this feature to gain access to your account and request a refund.

I Have Money in My Cash App Account, But It Will Not Let Me Cash Out to My Linked Bank Account. Does Anyone Know Why?

If you have money in your Cash App account but are unable to cash out to your linked bank account, there could be several reasons for this.

1. Account Restrictions or Suspensions

If Cash App closed your account due to suspicious activity or a violation of their terms of service, it may prevent you from withdrawing funds. This often happens if your account has been flagged for fraudulent activity, or there’s an issue with your linked bank account.

2. Bank Account Issues

If your linked bank account has been closed or there’s a problem with it, Cash App will block transfers to that account. Make sure that your bank account is still active and properly linked in the Cash App settings. If the issue persists, try linking a new bank account or debit card.

3. System Delays

Occasionally, there might be delays within Cash App’s system, especially if you are trying to transfer large amounts. In this case, it’s best to wait a few hours and try again. If the problem persists, contact Cash App support for assistance.

How Can I Get Back My Closed Cash App Account Urgently?

If you need urgent access to your closed Cash App account, follow these steps to try and recover it quickly:

1. Contact Cash App Support Immediately

Your first step should be to reach out to Cash App customer support. The faster you contact them, the sooner they can begin looking into your account closure. Be sure to provide any necessary verification information they request, such as your ID or proof of address, to expedite the process.

2. Verify Your Identity

Sometimes, Cash App may close your account due to incomplete verification. If this is the case, you will likely be asked to submit documents such as a government-issued ID. Make sure to complete this step as soon as possible to regain access to your account.

3. Follow Up on Your Request

After you’ve contacted support and submitted your information, be sure to follow up if you don’t hear back within a few days. Cash App may take time to process requests, but persistent follow-up can help speed up the resolution process.

My Cash App is Closed, How Do I Recover?

If Cash App closed your account for any reason, recovering it will depend on why it was shut down in the first place.

1. Request Reopening

If your account was closed due to a minor violation, such as too many login attempts or unverified identity, you may be able to request a reopening. Contact Cash App and explain the situation, especially if you believe the closure was a mistake.

2. Comply With Terms of Service

In cases where Cash App closed your account due to a violation of terms of service, recovering the account may be more difficult. You’ll need to work with the support team and ensure that you comply with their policies in order to restore access.

What Happens if I Send Money to a Closed Cash App Account?

If you’ve accidentally sent money to a closed Cash App account, the transaction may not go through. Here’s what typically happens:

1. Transaction Reversal

When a Cash App account is closed, it cannot receive funds. The system will usually automatically return the money to your account within a few business days. However, delays can occur, so it’s important to keep an eye on the transaction status.

2. Contact Support if Necessary

If the money is not automatically refunded within a reasonable time, contact Cash App support for assistance. Provide them with the transaction ID and details of the closed account, and they may be able to speed up the refund process.

Conclusion

Recovering money from a closed Cash App account can be challenging but not impossible. Whether your account was closed due to a violation of terms or an unlinked bank, the key is to contact Cash App support immediately and follow their procedures. Always ensure that your account is properly verified and compliant with Cash App’s terms of service to avoid future account closures. If you’ve sent money to a closed account, it’s important to act quickly to get a refund and resolve any issues.

Podcast #876: Why You Like the Music You Do

What albums and songs are getting a lot of play on your Spotify or iTunes app currently? My guest would say that the music you put in heavy rotation comes down to your unique “listener profile.” Her name is Susan Rogers, and she’s a music producer-turned-neuroscientist as well as the co-author of This Is What It Sounds Like: What the Music You Love Says About You. Today on the show, Susan unpacks the seven dimensions of music and how they show up along a varying spectrum in every song. She explains how everyone has an individualized taste for the configuration of these dimensions, and that how closely a particular song aligns with this pattern of sweet spots accounts for whether you like it or not. Along the way, we discuss artists that exemplify these dimensions, how Frank Sinatra injected virility into his music, how part of your musical taste has to do with the way you prefer to move your body, and much more. Artists and Songs Mentioned in the Episode * Prince’s Purple Rain * Barenaked Ladies * The Shaggs * Ella Fitzgerald * The Rentals * The Killers * Tame Impala * Steven Page * Johnny Cash * Cake * James Brown’s “Hot Pants” * Yes’ “Roundabout” * Pharrell Williams’ “Happy” * Carly Rae Jepson’s “Call Me Maybe” * Miles Davis’ Birth of the Cool and Kind of Blue * Frank Sinatra’s first hit song “Polka Dots and Moonbeams” (1940) vs. “It Was a Very Good Year” (1965) Connect With Susan Rogers * The This Is What It Sounds Like website, including the “Record Pull“ * Susan’s faculty page Listen to the Podcast!
