    It does remind me of a thing with Jeremy Clarkson. He also didn't believe that it was possible for people to withdraw money from his account, so he published his bank details:
    BBC, News, BBC News, news online, world, uk, international, foreign, british, online, service

    (and lost £500 )

    So while I also don't believe it, I guess there still must be some loopholes...

      Here's a site dedicated to messing wtih the scammers. Hilarious stuff on here

      One scammer actually dictated an entire book for money

      Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice, pull down your pants and slide on the ice.

        Well yes, that kind of attack is possible. I believe it would work against my bank as well

        but to nitpick, the scammer didn't get any money
        If there's artificial intelligence, there's bound to be some artificial stupidity.

          That might work here as well (bit complicated) although you could reclaim the funds within 28 (or is it 56 now) days.
