Bad banks
I’m having some problems with my bank accounts.
Apparently.
My Bank of Ireland ATM card has been locked and they have suspended my Interweb account. To compound matters, my Open24 account with Permanent TSB has also been blocked.
Personally I find that very annoying as I now have to log into all those accounts to unlock them. Fortunately the notifying emails gave me the links which saves a bit of hassle.
The problem is though that I don’t do any banking with either Bank of Ireland or Permanent TSB. I used to have a Bank of Ireland account about forty years ago but the fuckers started getting bolshie about petty overdrafts so I told them to fuck themselves and went elsewhere. And that elsewhere wasn’t Permanent TSB.
And so to my problem….
Do I contact both banks and open accounts so that I can unlock them?
Or do I just do my usual thing and fill out the forms on the emails?

You must reopen the accounts immediately!! How else can the Nigerian prince who was serving in Iraq send you the millions of dollars he found in a safe at an abandon bank in Afghanistan so you can collect your fee for assisting him in transferring the money to a tax free offshore bank.
I always feel a sense of unease about those Nigerian offers. Personally I only trust mails from my banks [even the ones I don't have accounts with].
Option 2
I think, as Jim says, you should unlock the accounts immediately as I'm sure some poor widow in Lagos who needs to get her hands on her husbands zillions via your bank accounts will be eternally grateful.
I also have been having trouble with my bank accounts. There's not enough in 'em.
And I agree…Option 2.
I confess I have been using Option 2 for some time now. I try to keep the information looking as genuine as possible but have a fine collection of really obscene passwords. I sit back then and happily think of those twats frantically typing obscenities trying to get into nonexistent bank accounts.
Don't forget to send as many cc copies of the email as possible as well to keep him busy, Dr. Hugh G. Rection was in action at that very task this week.
