Banks are already dying. They should have all died in 2008, but they were too big so taxpayers were forced to clear up the mess. Tellers and associates have already been being replaced by ATM and artificial intelligence. For the past few hundred years we relied too much on banks because people don't have better choices. But that situation is no longer the case if we see widespread adoption of cryptocurrencies
But the facilities of ATM is still providing to us by banks, I think someone may not be using banks directly but indirectly they must use banks in different kind of activities, in fact the importance of banks cannot be ignore in present time, may be in future we became able to replace banks by online wallet system but still it will take decades. 
Topic: You should never trust banks - page 61. (Read 60784 times)
Here is my story: in my country, there was the man who work for the government open a bank which promise to provide a higher interest than other banks. And then, unsurprisingly, he shut down his bank system and take away all the money he obtain. He run away with about more than 1000000$. Luckily, he have been caught recently but sadly, he will stay in jail for only 10 years without returning the money to victims
Seems like this one followed one of the most basic concepts of scamming people. It goes like:
1. Offer something more than other people or other company is offering at the moment.
2. Let people hype up the idea and convince them that everything you're saying is true.
3. Once you got the your target amount, start having problems and issues.
4. Run away.
By your post, "there was a man", it seems like the guy is just someone that you haven't heard of before and just came out of nowhere offering those. You don't even know his name. I think what has happened was a real life ponzi scam. I wonder where all those money went. But I think it's on the government's hands now. Poor people, they weren't aware of things like ponzis and so they invested.

Its funny my mothern went into the bank, where she and my father had savings, the bank said to her she had a debit, she went search and there is nothing, soo then sended her to the main bank to try to figure what is those debit about. Its funny since those bank hasnt send any letter to warn about those, and the paper she uses shows a positive balance without any debit. This just make me think twice if i wish to use those bank in the future or not, banks arent trusted as they promote to be.
What was the ending of your story? You just thought twice about using banks and that was it? How about the bank account of your mother? I'm sure it's just some mistake. Banks are operated by people and people do mistakes every day. No one's perfect. You can use the papers of your mother to show that you actually still have balance left and you haven't had any debit.
But the possibility that your mother has forgotten about some debit that she made. Or her account got hacked or got secretly used by someone. There's a lot of possibilities so you should give us the ending of your story.
Same case happened with my friend, the bank gave the reason that she has not maintained minimum average balance during some period. Bank not only deducted all of her balance but when we checked the balance, it was showing negative. Fortunately, she was having less than $100 in it but still it was her money and deducting it without notice is a pure steal, she said. Would like to learn more about your case, are you still fighting it?
Experienced it also when I reached the minimum amount that the card might have . My account then closed because its too late that I found that I reach the balance. Though I was informed first but I forgot that when I'm in cashing out.some banks they send notifications in anything that the account owner will do before doing anything on it.
From these banks really want to have somewhere to hide and hide his family. My wife has already gained so much credit, I do not know what to do, or to leave the family to flee to another country. Lol
I'm not fully agree with your statement. We still need bank to help us in some condition. I will not trust a bank for investing and bussines, in other way i still trust them.
The fact that banks are another world evil and it knows everything. But to answer as it is now to live without them, no one will answer. And wages and even public utilities bills, still swaying with the help of banks. We can not live without them.

The banking system is aimed primarily to keep in check those who produce it earns. Therefore, the bank people have nothing good to expect. Nevertheless, everyone knows everything and still go to the banks and put their head in a vise. 
My bank closed my account last year for no reason, and all money in my account was gone. I argued with the bank, even contacted the local government, no use. My bank just stated that "Pursuant to the CMA Disclosure and Agreement, 'THE BANK, at its discretion, may elect not to accept an account, terminate the account agreement and the account agreements of any related parties'. Both parties to the agreements have the right to end the relationship at any time and neither is obliged to provide a basis for such a decision to terminate". No single word explaing the termination was given to me. I contacted all banking lawyers online, and they were all representing the bank, not the customers. The money I lost can buy a new Mercedes. However, banks around the world now are too powerful. They are too big to fail. When you open an account in the United States, and probably also many other countries, you voluntarily give up the rights to sue the bank under their arbitrage clause. Even worse, they define the financial laws and enforce them. They can close your account, freeze and steal your property and evict you from your house. The more money you deposit into your bank account, the more you are helping the evil. I'm glad to see Bitcoin is changing all of these. Let banks die!
Oh wow Man, I'm sorry. Damn, I do not even know how to respond to such information. Before, I was afraid to take a loan, so as not to give away all the property because of the debt, but keep the money yet dared without problems.

Should I never trust banks? I don't think so. As I notice here in our country, banks are very useful. They have their clients and customers continue using their service everyday. I have no reason to not trust banks. I know they are legit to operate.
Yeah actually banks that were most helpful to the user and the current bitcoin. I'm sure that you get the income bitcoin and then converted to a fiat, you will need the help of the bank to take the money?the bank is very useful
Banks play an important role in society. We still can not do without them. Just as we can not live without fiat. I trust banks and keep the money in the accounts
this is because people still using fiat in the country he live and as long as fiat is known by mostly people, then banks is still getting trusted from the member but if the bank work is not good, then people will not believe and trust the banks. i do trust bank because i make a saving my bank and i am waiting for the payment in each month.
There is nothing that I would want to disagree with
But if we are not talking about Bitcoin and Bitcoin users who do have a choice after all, ordinary people don't have that at all since they are effectively cornered by the government. The government can seize their deposits, but keeping money under the mattress (or in safes and deposit boxes) doesn't make much sense either since the government can just as easily strip the money off of its value and purchasing power. Indeed, they are more often doing that gradually, not abruptly, but I guess these two groups of events (deposits seizures and money devaluations) are pretty well balanced in the long run, with no real choice therewith

Yes, the current bank system is full of corruption and arbitrary rules against users. I have also faced several abuses from banks and I have learned to hate them, avoiding to manage my money through this fake system. In Mexico the money of all clients is protected by government, but all citizens are forced to pay this insurance through our taxes.
This is not the same in my places honestly banks is most trusted here to save our money for a long time.. Government we can consider it as corrupted almost all countries are experience of corruption.
Maybe in other countries they are also experience of bad about banks..
Same here, though we can always hear or know that there is corruption in government but i personally have never heard of anything like this about a bank in my country where a client is faked or screwed like this as mentioned in OP.

There is never no reason, there is always a reason. So just be honest they you was doing some shady shit and got found out.
Yeah Right, you should not keep secret of the details you gave to them,the bank in our country is in good terms, maybe you violated some rules which you do not know a the very first.

The truth is that this depends on the bank, and depends on the country where the bank is located. There are governments that have a lot of influence over banks, and can confiscate funds very easily. So I think using banks is standard, and that's fine. The problem occurs when the user puts all the funds in the bank. Jump to:
