HSBC Bank Sends Activated Debit Cards Through Mail

Knowzy writes "At least two divisions at HSBC Bank apparently failed card issuing 101 and are mailing out debit cards pre-activated. Because they are debit cards, fraudulent transactions come directly out of a victim's checking account. A similar report from 2004 suggests this issue is longstanding and widespread. When confronted with the evidence, HSBC would not commit to fixing this issue, preferring instead to offer vague statements like, 'Through our systems and analytics, we focus on the greatest and most active threats in an effort to avoid negatively impacting customer experience.'"

    To start with, the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty states that, yeah, there are millions of homeless people.

    As about Police abuse, since your no doubt some dumb kid (you 'stoopid' comment shows your still young and dumb) would mean your too young to hear of things like Rodney King. Not to mention other incidents like what happened last year by the US border guards kinda show that it does happen.

    So... I'm of course believing you have some citations for claims that these things don't happen? Or maybe you can just try going to school to begin with.
