you've been warned....

 

How do people go for these things in the first place?

 

SO what did this person you know do? Send their bank account info as part of the "entering"

People still shock me with their gullability

 

I don't call that gullible, I call it plain stupidity

 

yeah, stupidity sounds right, little kids these days....

that person called her bank and told them to cancel her card, it didn't stop the payment from going through since it was already pending, but it would prevent them from ever accessing her account again, since they pull it directly. thank you BOA, they were very professional, and it didn't cost her anything.

 

yup... pretty much, i didn't want to grill her too much because i know she felt pretty retarded after...

 

I have a cousin in Nigeria that needs to transfer $200 Billion into the U.S., can I have your bank acoount info so that I can transfer that money for my cousin?
