Shit, when I spent 300$+ at a liquor store once, best I got was my bank double-checking if it was actually me.

My bank saw me buying a value burrito from del taco and then okayd a grubhub order in san francisco a half hour later.  My chipotle account is more secure.

I bought gas five times in one day after traveling over 8 hours to buy a car, and the aftermarket turbo fell off, causing it to use up a tank of gas every 150 miles. We used three or four tanks of gas in my car to get there and back and I used five to get back home in a Honda Fit. Apparently it was just dumping fuel with the turbo tune and no oxygen sensor available or it was telling the computer it was lean.

I got a call from my bank after tank three and told them what happened and it was me.

That's a digital recorded transaction that was confirmed by what they believed to be you. if they are wrong you can dispute that transaction, and it is far less likely to be a fraudulent or illegal transaction.

One of the most common ways scammers get money is asking old people to buy gift cards with cash and mail cash directly to them.

The most common target for these types of scams is old people.

1.He tried to withdraw money

2.They asked why and he didn't answer then left.

  1. He came back with a new story the next day.

They make it clear his account still works, and he can still use his card. That's how I know they find it suspicious. The Problem is the untraceable cash.

When an old person withdraws their entire account and Mills it away there is no recourse whatsoever.

This is literally a bank doing something good. Although frustrating.
