Idiot ripped off by ex, owes bank big time!

You're a bit of a tart, all right.

And I say that with the deepest respect.

LOL. but at least I'm not bitter...yet. Maybe in 20yrs.

Does he also leave cash with her then ask the bank to give it back to him after she spends it?

 

[Nuggler]

For God's sake, He didn't give her the credit card. She stole that. He gave here the PIN for a debit card account that just happened to be the same as his credit card PIN. Without her stealing the credit card, this crime could not have happened....

My bank tells me never never to use the same PINS on multiple cards.

Or write it on the card

Or in the wallet, which can be stolen

In this case, she's a lying, stealing, sack of manure, and he's screwed..............not even kissed this time.

My bank tells me never never to use the same PINS on multiple cards.

And my bank automatically gave me the same PIN for my Visa that I had on my debit card.

Weird eh?

 

[Nuggler]

It is puzzling. She must have put on a good show in court.

had great boobs ?...........
:wav:NOT GUILTY !!

And my bank automatically gave me the same PIN for my Visa that I had on my debit card.

Weird eh?

Which you immediately had changed, right ?

Stupid of them to do that. Imagine, banks stupid. lol. Heck, they're as smart as hospitals.

When we first got PINS for cards, we were advised not to tell one another what they were.............Reading the OP, I understand why.

...............but, we did...............:love3:



so far so good

Not weird at all. Having the same PIN numbers on cards isn't much of a risk, as long as you don't make the debit card too obvious, ie your birthdate or sin number.

What I find not only weird but irresponsible is some credit union choose your pin for you and send it to you in the mail.

 

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

The bank doesn't care since he's on the hook for the money because he admitted to giving out his PIN#. As long as they get their money they don't care about "justice"

Exactly but if she did not have his pin, they would have had to recover the money from her.

I believe he should be able to sue her for damages but it is unlikely anybody but the lawyers would get anything.

Usually, fair play is at least a consideration. What I don't understand is why he didn't get monthly statements that would have told him that somebody was running up the credit card debt.
Six or seven thousand dollars is not "simple theft" and that woman should be in jail.

He could have gotten e-statments and chose to ignore the e-mail reminder.

 

[shadowshiv]

I'm with you on that one. Trust is absolute or else it's not trust.

I'm sorry, what was the PIN again?

It is puzzling. She must have put on a good blow in the judge's private chambers.

Let me change that a little for you.

Makes about as much sense doesn't it?

You got it!! A person doesn't have to be dishonest to divulge a P.I.N.! Simply being careless when it comes to who's standing behind you at the machine can do you in. People do get distracted and make honest mistakes. That's the reason for all the precautions.

What I find not only weird but irresponsible is some credit union choose your pin for you and send it to you in the mail.

I think those are automatically generated and a live person doesn't get to see it.

If you don't tell anyone it doesn't matter.

I've had the same P.I.N. on both the Debit and the VISA for about 20 years, but the next time I go to the bank I'm going to change one of them.

A live person will see if they open your mail.

I too have had the same PIN for as long as debit card has been in existence. It doesn't worry me. I deal with financial scams as part of my job. Most people get scammed by divulging their info over the phone or online. Some stuff I dealt with this week just makes me give my head a shake. I've dealt many times with homegrown rip offs. Usually its the kids doing it to the parents but occasionally spouse to spouse. Right now though organized crime is huge. Especially phone and online scams. Unfortunately there is no shortage of people falling for them.

You don't divulge your P.I.N. to anyone!

I guess he must feel like a p.i.n.head.
