@knittingsquirrel @fifonetworks I don't think this is making fun, so much as educating about a basic mistake that anyone can (and should not) make. You don't trust people you don't know with your bank codes, even if they say they know you.
Also, what's a positive way to use "victim"? I think it's actually euphemistic here--a "negative" usage would be to call this poor person complicit in the theft of their own identity. Which we obviously don't want to do.

@DialMforMara could be translation mistake, idk. in German it would be different to say "victim of xy criminality"/became vistim of... idk, is it the same in English? in German victim is currently used as a pejorativ. which i find highly problematic.
also it doesn't say "be warned, that's the strategies they use". in my ears it sounds very much like looking down at the person. idk.
but not too fond of discussions either so it would be ok to leave it, like it is...
