    Those hypotheticals are more lurid fantasies than likely occurrences.

      There was a black guy in the US a couple years ago that won a law suit because a bank wouldnt accept a check from him on grounds of suspected fraud. He went to deposit the winnings and it happened again so he sued again and won again.

      Nah, I’ve had half of those threatened to me after my identity got stolen and I had to go to a bunch of physical locations to reset a bunch of accounts.

      If somebody is more conviced you’re doing fraud, than trying to recover from it?

      They’ll call the cops.

        That sucks, but was a very different situation from asking your bank to accept a damaged benny.
