Martin - you are being totally naive and living very dangerously. Take down that Facebook page.

I have been just as naive. In the past few weeks I have sent £30 to a homeless man in Gateshead who I only know from Twitter.
I now have nothing more to send him because I am very low income; I expect the dreaded text from the bank any day to say I have gone just a little too far; it happens.
But even if it does not help much, surely it is better to try, than not.

How do you know he/they are genuine ? It carries all the same risks as romance fraud.

Don't publish your bank details on the public internet!
In fact, you shouldn't even send them over emails (oops, I've done that before. I won't in future though.)

Quite apart from the unwisdom of linking to personal information, it falls under the interdict on advertising in posts.

I used to be related-by-marriage to a frighteningly techie type (on the board of a Very Famous IT giant).
When the subject of internet banking first came up he advised not to touch: later amended it to only if one used hardware named after a fruit (and then at own risk). To this day he won't use internet banking and keeps uses cards for separate purposes so any fraud can be spotted quickly.

Sorry. Thanks. Nobody can hack a Barclays account. And Giovanna is as real as they come. As battered and broken and inconsolable in a soup kitchen queue, over the past three years, as they come. If she's a fraud, she's the best I've ever been had by.

Has Barclays really improved security that much since September 2013 and February 2014?

Which have absolutely nothing to do with my account detail visibility.

It is possible to debit money from your account with those details, it doesn't require anyone to hack anything.
As Jeremy Clarkson found out that time he published his in the paper.

I bet it wasn't a Barclays account.

My Mother would beg to differ, as she found out to her cost

Why would it being Barclays make any difference Martin ? If I gave you my pin number and my bank card you would be able to withdraw money. Because that is how the system is designed to work.
You set up a direct debit or a bank transfer with your name, sort code and (sometimes) the name of your bank. I think you can probably also get a payday loan with those details from some lenders.
Likewise paypal accounts.
A lock can be the most unpickable in the world, but if you don't actually lock the door it is still fuck all use.

Online security, hackability and why you should never tell anyone anything over the Internet - all subjects susceptible of discussion.
Just not here perhaps.
