Giving out your bank details on the internet

Tweet

Hi friends,yesterday I was watching a programme on BBC television.It was about a report that last year,scores of card numbers had been stolen along with their pin numbers from the retail giant TKMAXX(a sister concern of TJMAXX in US).Many people were interviewd.They all had lost money from their bank accounts.card fraud is a growing concern these days.In such a situation,would you trust giving your paypal account numbers to money making sites like pay per post sites,etc?Until yesterday,I was very complacent about this.But after seeing that programme I am a bit concerned now.It emerged that there are no laws to actually tackle the card fraud and that millions of pounds are being siphoned off from accounts in the UK.This seems to be a very organised crime.What are your views about this?How safe is it to give out your paypal account number?Have any of you been subject to frauds thru paypal accounts?Please share your experiences with me friends.
