Why should that be my problem? It reeks of the same bait-and-switch that banks are doing, with calling failures of their lax KYC/security process "identity theft", calling themselves the victim, and making the actual victim responsible for it.
- zugi 2y agoI love this, yes the crime of getting a loan with stolen or fake credentials used to be called "bank fraud" and it was the bank's problem. Now it's called "identity theft" and they've convinced many of us it's our problem. So much that people pay the banks to buy "identity theft protection"!
