internet privledges are revoked completely.

  Done and dusted... Kinda like darwinism with a second chance on life ;-)

No, no... treble bank charges for 6 months, a £250.00 'administration'
penalty for changing their login details and an increas in the interest
rate on borrowing for 6 months to cover potential losses due to user
stupidity.

THAT would soon stop phishing!
