superstande: good morning!
sorry to hear that.
There are some really smooth talking people working in banks. In my old bank I got quite irritated and bored listening people talking at lenghts about opportunities to invest and such, while I was there on business that was completely different. Probably to get a balance sheet for a visa application or something :)
Well it's Saturday so I could only check things online, but it seems that they haven't added any insidious and strange new "products" to her account.
I ain't kidding, there was a scandal when a bank, basically hustled thousands of grandpas and grandmas (and anyone else they could) out of their savings by making them invest into junk bonds without them knowing.
The guy did manage to "slip a fastball" (is that the right expression? All I know about baseball is what Kevin Costner taught me, and I fell asleep halfway through that movie) past her with the credit card. There was absolutely no need for it. But she got it anyway, and what she signed (on a digital device, and she has no copies), are probably the credit card papers.

Yeah, those self-proclaimed smooth talkers with greased up hair that think they could sell a fridge to a skimo. Then they resort to preying on the elderly when others tell them to shove their bullshit where it doesn't shine.
I know the type.
