I am officially a victim of fraud. Some light fingered bandit has somehow managed to swipe a significant sum of money from my bank account. I feel naked and vulnerable. And wondering how it happened and how to stop it happening again. For a moment questioning whether ethics or pragmatism should win in choosing bank. But just for a moment.
You should have stuffed it inside your mattress like we did when I was a staff worker.
Seriously though, that sucks. The bastards.
Remember, ALL of the big US banks keep our personal data and financial data of course, on servers in countries like India, Isreal, Ireland, etc…. Those countries don’t have laws regarding identity theft. Funny thing is… some banks want to charge you a fee for identity protection – when the banks are the ones who cause the problem.
