Re:I do what I can to the phishers

On: Can Banks Shift Phishing Losses to Customers?

Otherwise, I could print a book of checks for your account and write checks, and it'd be your fault for giving me the info to make that possible (even though a check is sufficient info).

This analogy would be better if you said that you printed a book of checks and then fooled the customer to sign them all. If you sign the check, you are liable. When you give a phisher your ssn, user name, password, ect. you are essentially signing the check. No one went through your mail, found you account number and forged your signature. You were conned into giving the criminal a signed, blank check. While I feel sorry for everyone that has been through this ordeal (and I worked for a bank for five years and saw plenty of them), I don't think that the bank should be liable.
