My bank account got blocked for fraud.I am not involved in any kind of fraud. The recent funds in my account were from trading crypto on paxful(a crypto trading platform). What I think has happened is that someone who bought crypto from me on the platform sent the payment for the crypto by scamming/deceiving someone and that person reported the police regarding it.I would like to clarify that I'm under 18 and the account is registered on my parent's name.I found a similar question too: https://lawrato.com/criminal-legal-advice/fraud-payments-received-in-my-bank-account-17292
