You wouldn't believe the things I said in the days and weeks before. I had a decent amount of cash in their bank (between 10 and 20k) that I threatened to pull out. Nothing. I knew my dad had a respectable amount of cash in his account (more than 100k), and a mortgage. I told them that I'd get him to desert them. Nothing.
"Too bad, screw you. You must have been careless with the pin because they got it within three tries..."
Nuts, I tell ya. The newspaper threat did it. Either that, or she was sick of me calling every day and bitching about it.
A few weeks later, my mom taped an episode of W5 for me. Made my blood boil. They interviewed a high up bank guy who admitted that the reason that they do not make ATMs and debiting more secure is because right now (at the time) their losses are nominal compared to the cost of upgrading all their hardware and software. Motherfudgers. Yeah, your costs are nominal because you don't pay unless the person whines for weeks and threatens to use the media.
