A fraudulent charge against my checking account showed up on my online register; I cancelled the card, and apparently charges continued to come in and were denied. No big deal, I think - B of A will credit the account and send me an affidavit.
The nice lady said that, often, folks generate and try random account numbers. Since - she says - card numbers usually have many common digits - it's not too difficult to get one right.
Hell, I program. I bet I could crank something like this out fairly easily. And to think...all this time I've been using my own checking account when I could be using someone else's! That's stupid. Why should last night's dinner make it harder to, for example, buy a new suit? If I use someone else's number, I could have dinner and a suit at no expense!
No expense to me.
(Bastards. Hope they DIAF.)
