@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.
