That's irrelevant if you don't tell anyone!
He's a loser on two counts, he should have known her well enough to know what she was capable of and he's an idiot for divulging his P.I.N. My wife is 110% trustworthy but I would give her my P.I.N. for two reasons one, she couldn't divulge under any duress and two if something did happen I could truthfully tell the bank I didn't divulge it.
Sorry, Sal, we have to agree to disagree on this one. I would never give my wife my P.I.N. and it's got nothing to do with trust.
We have separate cards which we can put any account on that is joint. There is just no reason to have to give someone else your pin, she can access the joint account on her card. It's got nothing to do with trust or honesty. People have been tricked into making honest mistakes. As long as you are the only person who knows your P.I.N. then if someone hacks your account the bank can't hang any blame on you.
Not quite. It's the same as long as there are no problems, if you give your P.I.N. to someone, the bank couldn't give a sh*t if it's the Pope.
If my wife cleans me out deliberately that's a whole other problem, I would more upset if she cleaned me out accidently and so would she.
Whenever I get a "red" as soon as I see it I automatically "know" which A$$hole gave it to me and 99.9% of the time, sure enough!
Make it 99.95%
In the short term perhaps, but over time things have a way of evening out or as the old adage goes "you reap what you sow"!
It would seem to me the criminal got off scott free in this case. I think lessons learned are also important for future possible victims.
The banks can only do it because there's no backlash against them doing it. I'm sure if enough people called the bank with their displeasure instead of calling the guy an idiot on a web forum the bank might have a change of heart
bankers have no hearts. Also they get away with it because usually the guy they are harassing can't afford the costs of fighting them.
They may have no hearts but they have brains. They understand pissing off their customer base is not a good thing.
Normal people with half a brain would. Being the victim of a crime doesn't preclude the possibility of being a victim of one's own stupidity.
