Jeremy Clarkson, a presenter for Top Gear on British TV, wrote a newspaper editorial that accused privacy activists of being hysterical over giant data-leaks (such as the British government repeatedly losing CDs bearing the financial details for 25 million households). To prove that identity theft wasn't a big deal, he included his bank account details in the article.
Whereupon someone promptly began making fraudulent withdrawals from his account.

Whereupon someone promptly began making fraudulent payments to a charity - direct debits that dont need a signature and are protected (for him) by the DD agreement

I hope he had the class to leave the 500 with the charity, it's hardly a big dent out of the man's balance...

I must admit I'm suprised you can actually do it. I always thought even if someone knew your account and sort code that all they could was deposit not withdraw money from your account.

Clarkson and his sycophantic band of casual-racist, xenophobic, homophobic, overgrown-schoolboy chums should be removed from the media fullstop.

This Country was built on Casual-racism, xenophobia, homophobia and overgrown-schoolboys.
Build your own if you don't like it, or just join in. It's jolly good fun what!
