Indeed, as I said, this doesn't fit that pattern exactly.

I don't really take the time to answer to pointless accusations like those, specially at a time when i'm trying to resolve my problem. If the poster could of asked in a polite manner, I would of taken the time to answer. But to finish a statement with there has to be something your not telling us is plane childish.

+1. Agreed. Especially since as I keep pointing out, you made clear you were the one that 1)noticed the activity and 2)requested the lock. Some users didn't bother reading the post, made baseless accusations/asked irrelevant questions. Yes, most locked account posts involve issues with the question asked. However yours didn't and you made it clear. They now try to deflect their not reading your OP. They saw locked account and didn't bother processing the whole post. Now acting like your not replying to baseless accusations/irrelevant questions justifies their question/accusation.

Sorry for the responses you got.

A little historical perspective is probably appropriate here.

There is a long history here on FT (and not just in the UA forum) of people complaining that their accounts got suspended/locked/taken away and then they were less than forthcoming about their history of selling/bartering points/instruments (typically not answering direct questions about that history, or obfuscating in some manner). In a majority of those cases that individual had in fact engaged in such activities and in some cases had tried to cover it up in some way, both with the airline and in this or other FT airline forums. THAT is likely why the question was asked and the accusation made in post #3 and why there tends to be a "guilty until proven innocent" mindset among some of the more veteran posters here.

That's understandable, but it's not really that great to paint someone with a broad brush because of things other people have done. Human nature, I know. But not it's best look.
Still, how do you, in post 42, hark back to the question/accusation in post 3, when the issue was completely clarified in post 21?
That's the part I don't get. In fact, other than this sidebar, I'm not sure why this thread is even still active.

The OP posted twice a couple hours after post #3 , so had the opportunity to answer the question well prior to resolution. Again, it hearkens back to multiple cases where an OP would complain about an account freeze and turn out to be culpable.

I can guarantee you that had this been posted in the AA or DL forum similar questions would have been asked and accusations raised. Especially the AA forum, where ignoring direct questions about selling/bartering such instruments is tantamount to an admission of guilt

This thread seems to have served its purpose and should probably be closed now.
Just saying.

Greetings All,

For the time being this thread will stay open. It offers a resource to those who need to contact UA to follow up on security issues related to their account and serves as a reminder to us that honest mistakes can happen from time to time.

That said, the issue here is MP accounts being incorrectly locked by UA's fraud/security department NOT a general critique on other members' posting styles. So please focus the discussion around the former, not the latter when responding.

Safe Travels,

J.Edward
