Social security cards aren't even neccessary at the bank. I tried to show them mine and they said it wasn't neccessary, but the ID was.

BTW - I made fake IDs in college, so getting around that one is just another minor fraction of the law on the terrorists part.

But what could and almost happened with us, was that the person can use your online account to create additional accounts. This didn't happen to us, but we were told it could happen, seeing as they got my wife's passwords too. ????Howw?????

Hmm.

See . . . I think they definately have my account info.

Lets supposed hypothetically that I did write a check for XYZ dolllars and Zero cents.

But you'd eventually get caught by the sophisticated Customer Service Representatives and all their years of intensive training at spotting fraudulent activity.

Some of them actually graduated High School ... so just be careful.

The check was for the exact dollar amount I had in the bank.

The check was from a batch that I never recieved.

The check was destroyed during processing, and all that remains is this electronic voucher stating that it was real and valid.

I just think someone has my info, and I want a new account. the bank is making me play honey pot while they try to lure the bear in.

I didn't mean to submit that last post. My admin fucked up my key mappings and now my browser is a fucking piece of shit.
