Theyre too stupid to make decent money honestly, so they have to try and defraud the remaining population.

I keep getting stupid e-mail from loads of banks who i do not have accounts with saying please up date security info.
Soon as i see them its just delete, wish i could stop them arriving in the first place.

But yes - Birmingham Midshires seem to want me to update the details they hold on me, frequently. They need to spell Birmigham a little better though.

Thing is - it's why we can't let my Mother in Law get near a laptop, serious issues with the generation brought up in a different society....

Sounds like a phone call I had the other day!

"I'm calling from the fraud department of your bank"

When I asked him which bank that would be I got "Err, Nationwide?"

Poor soul then got treated to 30 seconds of the best verbal abuse I could come up with!

With much irony on this I have managed to have a conversation about "my" account that in fact belonged to a MRS Pinnington.

If we're not going to do business with people who can't string sentences then I hope for my sanity we all drop dead about the same time or we'll die of starvation.
