Anyone else got this call before?

For you, it may not be a lot, but if [MENTION=874340]tonysmom[/MENTION] is depositing it at WM in $1000 increments, then it might raise eyebrows. The usual WM customer does not deal in multiple $1000 deposits or more over a 3 month period of time. In fact, I suspect that the average WM customer doesn't even have a savings account with $17K in it

I suspect that unless you have given your 'company' a release, they will not reveal your income to Discover. Then again, Discover does have ways of estimating income.

Easy?? That account now has human eyes on it, and i would not be surprised if they ask for tax returns to verify income, as well as other documentation. In fact, they might just not ask for anything and simply shutter the account.
tonysmom Please let us know if any adverse events occur with your dealings with Discover. TIA ;
