A few years ago I was one of the 10,000 people whose credit card information was stolen from the Hannaford store computers, and I was lucky, my bank noticed some unusual activity (they tried to charge something in Florida, and I have never been there, and I guess that was enough for the bank to notice) and they did not accept that charge. If that had been my bank account information that they stole, they might have been able to clean out the bank account before anybody noticed (not the same bank as the credit card, for whatever that's worth). If I lost one paycheck that way, that would be a big loss, and sometimes there is more than that in there. I think we have some protection against losing a lot if they get a credit card number, but not as much protection for a bank account. It's dangerous.
And, whatever is going on, if our supposed Pal would tell us something about what is in it for them, to justify all this trouble they are giving us, maybe we would go along with them, but there is not a word. If they can't tell us the truth, why should we trust them? OTOH, whatever is in it for them, that is all they care about, they do not have any concern about the danger for us.
