MONTY got It right! It was the IRS!Along with the ASSistance of other
law enforcement.Not my posts on here nor anything to do with T.H.N.
Seems anything over ten thousand dollers gets the once over by the IRS My deposit was 30 thousand.And since it didn't stay there( paid of my loan)It looked like I had not paid any taxes on it.

Konnon,

30 grand? I bet you set the Fed spidey senses just tingling! Another thought as far as why they locked in on you would be:
A:Money Laundering-The process by which criminal enterprises attempt to take money made by, or for, illegal means to look legit.
By depositing a large amount of money and then immediately withdrawing it it looked like you were doing some sort of wire transfer scam or "washing" it. It could look like it was dirty money from a dozen different places-Terrorists, Drugs, Mob, Girlscouts (I know there's something addictive in those cookies and I'll figure it out after just one more.... ;D).
B:Nigerian Scam-Although it's unfair to call it the "Nigerian Scam" since it's really caught on in alot different places. The scam comes in various forms, but a common one is to someone cashes a large check, money order, money transfer, or multiple checks adding up to a large amount, into an account. Now these are either from people that have been scammed and don't know there money is on it's way to a country with very liberal banking laws, or the money order/checks are counterfeit. You might think that in todays modern era counterfeit checks would be caught in an instant, well sad to say the answer is "no". Often the bank accepts the check/money order as legit until the paper reaches it's destination where it is found to be from a closed account, false account, or fraudulent account. All that takes a few days.
Then it comes back and somebody is out of a lot of money (usually the bank or some fall guy).

I'm glad to see you came out of it intact. It would be horrible trying to prove your innocent when your not even directly being accused of anything just some vague descriptions, suggestive questions, and no one that can comment on it directly!

Things are getting all messed up in this country, whatever happen to "innocent until proven guilty?" Anymore, it seems like it's, "Your guilty until you prove you're innocent." Sad, very, very, sad.
Sadly this is too true. Once you are arrested it is quite simple. You have to prove your innocence. They believe you are guilty or you wouldn't have been arrested, but it very simply wrong and unconstitutional.
Someone mentioned a lawyer? Uh...I would not recommend any attempt to sue the Feds. I mean isn' it ovious how miserable thay can make your life already? Imagine if they were TRYING to make it miserable!!!

Count your blessings and be glad it is over. Sorry you had to endure it in this "free country" in which we live.

Don't know about other places, but here in Arizona if you sell ANYTHING to a pawnshop, or get a loan on an item the description serial number etc. plus your picture ID is sent to the Cop shop. They're also forcing the scrap metal buyers / junk yards who buy copper scrap and wire to get your ID and you'll have to supply a mailing address to receive your money in a check a week later. This is supposed to help curb copper thefts that are due to skyrocketing copper prices. Next thing you know we'll have to show a picture ID to cash in soda cans. Sad world we live in........
