What to Do if Your Bank Account is Frozen

Should I file a report?

Yes. Your bank even told you to do it. I wouldn't be surprised if they don't close the investigation in your favor until they get a copy.

Also, they told me not to speak to my "employer." I've been getting messages from him all day, and have simply ignored them.

And also, I called the San Diego Police to report the incident; the automated phone system said, "Credit card or bank fraud must be handled with the company or bank of the account holder." They also mentioned going to ic3.gov for filing an internet crime complaint. That said, my bank wants the name of a detective investigating the case, as well as a case number, as part of their records. What should I do?

Update: I got the report filed and everything; the bank told me that the San Diego Police as well as police in South Carolina (where the deposits were coming from) are working together on this. Also, my bank account was closed as the bank was risking a loss on it.

Are you planning to stay on the said bank or invest your money into a different one?

Which one are you talking about? I started up an account with another bank; my other account got closed.
