Sometimes a bank can be too big for their own good or the good of the public.

When a tool vendor makes a mistake, we discuss it like it is the world. But do you people know how many mistakes are made in the financial sector including banks and tax agencies everyday?

While I can't specifically reveal my sources, I can tell you more than any customers or ordinary people can believe. $10 was nothing; $10,000 was withdrawn from someone's account and the client was reimbursed in full, given a gift card (as a token of apology for inconvenience as it took several weeks to resolve the matter within the bank) and was not given the reason why or how it happened. Banks make a LOT of mistakes in ALL departments. You can easily verify this if you know someone who works there.

Don't believe in anything you read or receive in ANY unsolicited emails, no matter where they come from. If you talked to PayPal, your investment bank, etc., this morning and received an email purported to be from them in the afternoon, it could just be a COINCIDENCE. It has happened to me more than once!
