(URGENT HELP NEEDED)HDFC SWIGGY CARD CLOSURE DUE TO FOREX TRADING

rahulsh

TF Buzz
I received an email saying that my Swiggy Card will be closed in 30 days. Apparently, the closure is due to forex trading, which the law prohibits. This is a real surprise because I’ve never done any forex trading, or any trading at all, in my entire life. I don’t even do forex trading in India. I suspect that this might be due to international transactions I did via PayPal, Skrill, and by using my card number directly on certain sites.

I have already sent an email to HDFC about this case. However, I also want to reach out to experts in the hope that you can help me. The Swiggy Card is my only cashback card, and I want to do whatever I can to prevent them from closing it.
 
As far as my personal experience goes, Skrill is the culprit here.
I called customer support; they also confirmed that none of my other international transactions pose any threat, with the exception of the Skrill transaction. However, the issue is that I didn’t do any such activity via Skrill(only did 2 transactions of total 7$), and I have proper statements and invoices of my transactions. So, do you think the bank will consider any of this, because such allegations are very serious?
 
Raise complaint, Share all the proofs and escalate to RBI (If required). Do it fast because if the card is permanently closed then it cannot be a activated again.
I have already mailed the priority email as soon as I got the intimation, and they have raised a service request with a wait time of 7 days, which is the most problematic part, because each time the wait time is 7 days.
 
Swiggy card ki aukaat chana-mamra kharidne ki hai. Baaki chizon me use se bachna chahiye.
It's not just the Swiggy card, it could be any HDFC card. The trouble started when I used Skrill.

I was shocked to know that they not only mentioned forex trading but also made some comments about money laundering. And then I had to stop and think: Are there people who really try to launder money with their credit cards?
