FTC Says Payment Processor Took Millions
coondoggie writes "The Federal Trade Commission and seven states have charged a payment processor with violating federal and state laws by debiting, or attempting to debit, from consumers' bank accounts on behalf of numerous fraudulent telemarketers and Internet-based merchants. Between June 2004 and March 2006, the payment processing company, Your Money Access, processed more than $200 million in debits and attempted debits to consumers' bank accounts. More than $69 million of the attempted debits were returned or rejected by consumers or their banks for various reasons, indicating the lack of consumer authorization, the FTC complaint alleges."

No, because it's a different context. Shut the fuck up is usually when speaking directly to someone, shut the bugger up is used when talking about something to do to someone else (sorry for not knowing the grammatical terms for the differences *shrug*). Technically you could refer to someone as a 'fuck' if you wanted to, but it's a bit OTT for most cases.
which is totally what she said
sorry, had to do it.
