    You have each others debit cards? You're both morons. Nuff said.

    Yeh, I know. The guys still owe's me £20 yet he's (kinda) threatening me :rolleyes:
    OP. If I were you I'd go and see the local farmer, show him a picture of your friend and tell him not to let your friend anywhere near his pigs.

    Report to you to "Pigs"? How disrespectful. Wash your mouth out and know your place. Without those "pigs", we would be under IRA rule by now.

    I often sacrifice a meal each week to honour a fallen policeman. Or as you would say "a fallen pig". :rolleyes:

    He doesn't have it anymore, I gave it to him with my permission, but I'm not afraid to lie about that fact offcourse.
    It's still really risky and what if he remembers your code or whatever ...

    I don't see how you could get in trouble especially if it was with your knowledge and permission, but still not really a wise move. Some things should stay secret, knoimsayin'?

    Don't ever tell anyone your PIN. I can't remember all of the details, but the way it was told to me implied that telling someone your PIN is analogous to giving them permission to take all your money - and the bank's fraud protection stops as soon as you tell the pin.

    How did you know his PIN? You both sound liked idiots tbh.
    Just tell your friend if he goes to the police they'll find evidence of whatever you were using it as a 'tool' for.

    No, its only fraud. You could end up in prison but that's hardly trouble. The best year of my life was spent in prison.

    This- if the bank finds out you have given away your pin to anyone the won't cover you for fraud any more, so watch out about that.

    Yes, this is fraud.

    you obviously knew what you where doing was wrong because you made a specific point of mentioning your Hoody.

    On the other hand, will you get prosecuted, no its your friends fault for giving you his pin.

    Dont be an idiot your pin is a PERSONAL identification number for a reason
