Oh the so green grass on the other side (bank accounts) are not so green after all.

Plus the cows (consumers) are drying up with two calf at every.... well you get the picture.

Another reason I would suggest here is that the tax man will be if not already in deeper competition with cyber criminals. It's a situation where cyber criminals are stealing money from others that is to be used to pay their taxes and ironically the criminals pay their taxes with it. But in doing so the government coffers just doesn't get ahead.

Smells like what happened in Brazil a few years back will occur again, somtin's gotta give. Don't be suprized that your bank account will close automatically because it was deemed expendable.

Massive increase in fraud crimes should make the government and banks realise that their data protection and Chip and PIN systems are diverting rather than deterring fraud crimes.



This shows that fraud will continue to grow until they exploit KEY and PIN system described on website www.xwave.co.uk which will deter BOTH identity and card fraud by making signature and PIN systems reliable and foolproof.



Fake documents have made our signature system unreliable while skimmers and pin-hole cameras etc. have made PIN system unreliable. We have option to make signatures reliable by personalising them with ID stickers and option to use Card Key Code to make PIN system reliable to make use of stolen and skimmed cards meaningless. By ignoring to exploit this system banks are only letting fraud crimes grow.



ID KEY system will eliminate the need for us to protect our personal and card details since fraudsters will be deterred from misusing these stolen details.



Proposed ID KEY can be treated as a reliable international ID card because it will personalise signature and PIN number to only the right individuals in any country.



We hope that the government and banks will appreciate these details and exploit KEY and PIN system before it is too late to stop a fraud boom.

On behalf of the left-ponders {pawnders?}, I would like to invite all of you rightside gents and ladies, fortewit, to the great American Fire Sale: We're going out of business, and Everything Must Go! (absotively and posolutely!) Be sure to bring all of your finest sovereigns, because I'm sure that we have a lot of "Cash in the Attic." There may even be an ark of the covenant somewhere abouts. Yes. I'll leave the light on for you, but please offen it when you takeaway. Remember that we're presently unable to make change due to defacing the value of the metal. If you need further assistance, call Crawford, TX. For gods' sake hurry, before we lose our footing! 

I doubt that it is because it is valuable across more countries. You can use a US ID over several countries as well.
I think that our Euro ID is worth more because
a) it is harder to get all the details (no website promoting all-you-can-know over here), and
b) you still have to prove your ID in a number of transactions

Banks, for example, are sticklers for ID cards. My wife was once forbidden to cash a check in my name on my account, because she did not have any signed paper from me that allowed them to accept the transaction.
Personally, I thought that was taking things a bit far. I agree in advance to anyone sending me money, I don't see the problem there.
So I don't see how it can be as easy to use an ID in Europe. A credit card number ? Yeah, that's easy enough, for sure. But passing yourself off as someone else in a bank ? To get credit ?
Don't think so.
Why do I feel that I'm wrong ?
