i would have been as well... and it may very well have led to my leaving them
and their services... unless they had a very good compensation offering to keep
me with them ;)

true... this is another reason why one should have an account specifically for
this purpose and keep it empty except for those times that a $$$ transfers
needs to take place... then put the $$$ in that account and let them draw it...
it is the only true safe method... the buggar in the pudding is that many banks
won't allow accounts with zero balance without either terminating the account
or charging some outrageous fee(s) to maintain a number in a database with a
zero balance... effin' idiots think people are fools... too bad they are right
in some cases :?

if everyone would stop, look and get together and pull their $$$ out because of
the banks' practises, we'd stop a huge amount of this shite in the blink of an
eye... what ever happened to truth and honesty?
