I refuse to bank online, so that is one problem prevented.
We always use cash or debit in town, credit cards only at reputable online places.

If it happens again, me and the bank manager are gonna be meeting, for sure.

I worry about people like my 86 y/o neighbor who has all her bills paid online thru A big bank. She's a widow and never handled a lot of the money decisions.
Wondering how many times this has happened to others.

It could be something as simple as a data entry goof....sez the optimist in me.
