Bank security

[Drsolly <drsollyp () drsolly com>]

I sent my bank a fax to tell them about my change of address. They sent a 
fax back, asking me to phone them. The lady I spoke to, said that they 
couldn't do it from a fax, they needed an email. I asked why; she said 
that it was so they could be sure it came from me.

Apparently, anyone can send an fax, but if an email has me in the 
from-line, that proves it came from me.

And this is a bank. 

And we wonder why there's fraud ...
