RE: I had to make FOUR phone calls to my bank to buy a Mac!

Enjoy the new computer. I don't get too many issues spending my money, but when I tried to do the final payment on our solar panels the bank made me jump through hoops. I had to call Octopus to confirm the details of where I was sending the money. I was fairly confident anyway as I'd been speaking to the same lady all through the process. It is possible for emails to get hacked to change bank details, but I doubted that would happen for this. It was a fair chunk of change though, so best to be sure.

£2k may not be considered a huge sum these days and I would think Apple are trusted, but then I have heard of stolen cards being used to buy a lot of stuff from them that can be easily sold on at a discount.
