coulson Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) Doesn't make any sense. If these idiots give up their atm cards over a fake line message insinuating they were involved in a crime then they almost deserve to lose the money. At what point do they sacrifice their pin numbers without realizing they are just giving money away? Edited January 24, 2018 by coulson . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
