But as my financial arrangements have gotten more complicated, more intertwined with those of other people, as I’ve accumulated weird experiences straightening out banking problems, I can see that while there is wisdom in the rule, its never going to be enough.

Didn’t you know, if you are the one who has found a corpse, then you are among the suspects immediately? Now, if you have found some unusual activity… ;-)
Oh, come on, really?
You never click on a “link to confirm your bank details”. Regardless the pretext, context, subtext, whatever. N E V E R. N E V E R. N E V E R.

But what if there’s some unusual activity?
