I’m sorry Lynn because I feel like I’m becoming the pedantic one here, but are you unloading onto me the burden of finding out proof for what others have stated?
I expressed skepticism about a statement and subsequent arguments in its defense, I have spoken to what I called “my bank guy” who is not a teller but a financial promoter (well, not that it changes much) and he confirmed that by only having the numbers to receive a bank transfer it is not possible to get money from an account (because those are unilateral number intended to receive money and not pay up someone).
Now you’re saying that I do have to find someone who works in fraud prevention to confirm what you are simply saying it is so?
And then what? I have to go undercover in the bank fraud underworld so that I can verify in person someone else’s statements?
Oh come on, I think I did even more than my fair share of homework here. ![]()
Besides, the example you mentioned about the cracked amazon/apple/twitter accounts, is clearly something different from the case in object. I never said that everything is safe, that nothing can be cracked and I haven’t even said that bogman should trust the buyer (well, by now I figure they already conlcuded all transactions).
I would like to remind that I simply and only asked for clarifications about this statement:
I did it because it seemed to me rather bold and, frankly, FUDish.
I am not at all ruling out the possibility that a very skilled and unsavory (as you so defined) person might work his/her way into anyone’s account, bank or not, and do evil starting from little details such as the name of one’s first goldfish. In this scenario the details to receive a bank transfer are probably just a bonus.
But from there to “Your bank account WILL be emptied in a few minutes. I guarantee you it is a scam. 100% certainty” I see a huge jump, that’s all.
Ciao. ![]()
