@StoptheGap : that's a US and caraiban island problem.
@Piru : can you give all the details on your credit card ? (just the long number, the exp date, and the last 3 numbers at back) :lol:
For a bank transfert in France, you need to go to your "guichet" and show of proof of identity. You can't steal the money the way you describe. You need a "manuscrit" authorization signed by the account owner with a proof of identity of him and you.
Since the Dark Age, we use and still use a lot "cheque" ;-) and there were very few problems.
Because Bank transfert is quite taxed.
3.5e for the transfert (if is inland or in europe in a partner bank or the same bank !)
5.10e for the "treatment" (if is in europe not in a partner bank or if 1 information is missing or wrong !)
and some more bank fees depending the amount :-o
Add 8e more if it's not in Europe ... :-o
For the CreditCard transfert, you need just the long number, the exp date, and the last 3 numbers at back.
And the top of the top, some banks take fees if you use your card more than 5 time in a month to take cash in an another bank.
