I'd have to say I'm quite embarrased that it happened to me. Bastard took all my money from the bank, but they are cool and I got it all back. FWIW, it's Royalbank and had I been paying attention I would have caught it. Guess it's a good thing to be a customer for 20+ years heh. |

Plus jerks like me would like to be able to laugh at your mistake(s) while only looking at it in hindsight.

Lemme guess. You got the email that linked to your account which was a lookalike page. Then entered your information without checking for https, or wether it was secure or not? My parents got messed like that but they got their (I think) 30,000.00 back from that account. But yeah thats one thing to look out for. Emails from your bank apparently that will go to your sign in page. Never do that. |

Ouch! I wonder if the bank was able to trace where it went, and retreive it, or was it lost forever, and they took the hit? |

Jesus. I think if I went to the bank and seen it empty, I would need to get a clean pair of shorts cause I would sh*t. Glad it worked out for you tho. Hope the bank was able to trace it and get law enforement on they're asses bigtime. Also hope they lose a nut for pullin such crap. |

I imagine the people who done it made some "false" account and withdrew it asap. Rinse repeat process I bet. Wouldn't risk my job on it. |

Been out of province, out of touch from everything for a month, what fun! Yeah it was just some money that was going to pay VISA bill, basically my banking is somewhat neutered until i can go home and put in a new access code to get full functionality again. I'm glad to see I didn't miss anything but a nifty forum upgrade in a month lolz. |

Yeah. Not much has happened. I broke off from WOW and still am. But checking out the new star wars mmo. The old Replublic. Other than that just waiting for the closing date on my new house. Then I may build a computer after all my costs are paid off. But maybe not. I'm also content with a laptop and it's more power friendly than my 3 Boxes when I had them. |
