Card blocked for no reason

I entered my pin number CORRECTLY at the till point, but my card was blocked. I can't get it unblocked on the app or online! ***** dept send me messages but when I call them, no answer. So if my card was really ****** what was I to do? Hope and pray they dont use all my money? Im really fed up with this bank. What must I do to get my card unblocked???? Pity I cant swear here!

I did phone the number provided in the email *** and chose option 5. Option 5 is for eStamp Verification or Debi-Check Enquiry. The operator told me the only way is to go to a branch as they do not have that function where they work. Your branches are extremely busy and queueing time is very long. I cant get off from work to do this. And I know for a fact that my pin number was correct, I even checked it afterwards on my internet banking. This is very annoying. I mist transfee funds to my other account just to do something and Absa is just making money out of this!
