One bluebird shutdown here. No email for my wife yet but I haven't loaded hers in 6 months or more. <$2000/mo on average of gift card loads, just to meet minimum spend.
Edit to add, I am not surprised that Bluebird is shutting down or shutting down people who load gift cards, but I am surprised that the email is so vague and making it seem like there was fraud on your accounty rather than just coming out and saying the issue.

They are looking at a longer loading pattern than just this month. I haven't loaded anything on my bluebird account yet for January. I've been doing $500 loads for a couple years, however.
