Those bastiches! They got my ATM cards for BOTH banks!!! Looks like I'm in for a loooong time on hold this afternoon . . . .

Elspode · 01-20-2008, 09:44 PM

So that is simply all possible combinations of four numbers, then?

xoxoxoBruce · 01-20-2008, 10:26 PM

Yes.

Undertoad · 01-20-2008, 10:26 PM

Only the ones they permit for PINs.

Drax · 01-20-2008, 10:51 PM

It's obviously someone's pathetic attempt at paranoia.

Aliantha · 01-20-2008, 11:07 PM

This is only a problem if you have a 4 digit pin.

Up it to 5 or 6 digits and no one will ever figure it out.

Hiya Drax. Good to see you again.

I thought it was an attempt at humour based on paranoia. At least, that's what my brain implant chip wants me to think. I'd better play along cause the cameras are watching. And they are logging my keystrokes, too.

Then why don't they post names along with the PINs? I don't buy it.

Drax, it's a joke. They've put every possible combination of 4 digit numbers on a page so that when you look for yours, it'd definitely there. No one's going to get enough chances with the atm to try out all the different combinations though are they?

They don't really know what your pin is. They just know it's one of those number sequences.

Thanks. All I ask is that ya'll gimme some respect, and don't make a big fuss over what I post. It seriously hurts my feelings.
