If I find out that an RBoS customer has lost money this way, I'll worry
about it...
To get money from my account, someone would need to know my ID number,
which has 4 random digits in addition to my DOB, an additional 4 number
PIN, an 8 character password, and have a cloned copy of my bank card,
and know the PIN for that. I would have thought there would be easier
ways of scamming... indeed, there seems to be- for example, fraud
_withing_ the banks themselves...
