>>Yeah, banks are innocents. I notice you never commented on Mike's assessment of the profit made on those fees. I think banks will try anything to have your money for as long as possible. They taut themselves as a service organization, but they are only interested in what they can make. Look what it takes for me to try and get my bank to do anything when I have a dispute with a vendor. Just as recently as last week, some nimrod in Nigeria was able to use my PayPal account to transfer almost $1,000 from my bank account into my PayPal account. I called the bank and they basically told me to go frig myself. Nice. PayPal on the otherhand, prevented the payments from being removed from my PayPal account and I've been in the processing of transferring it back to my bank account. That's where this whole issue came from. The money sure left my banking account pretty damn fast, but now that I am trying to transfer back into my account, it takes 5 days. Try to tell me that sounds fair to you?

>It is kind of exaggeration. How could you say that I never commented on something posted 5 minutes ago? As you see now, I commented, and I did it before I saw your message.
>By the way, if the issue comes to Nigerian traders then I disclaim any defence and let Mike take the stage defending innocent third worlders against your imperialistic claims.

You certainly have some interesting takes on my views. I barely recognize the person you describe.
