[QUOTE="wesdavidson, post: 593691, member: 18646"]Same with an ATM. I posted this after reading the post about the "world reserve monetary exchange offer" where they offer an overpriced safe and grossly overpriced coins. -They are not the only way for old folks to go broke. And really, looking at it that way, the safe deal is better than GM stock. IF she owed the money, and IF she was given enough notice, and IF it was within the statutory time limits, and IF a court ordered it. Then it would be fair. The worry comes when this can happen without discovery as to whether the debt is real, is her's, is within time limits, and is properly collected. It may have been. It may not have been. The point, I think is, that she thought the bank was safe, it is represented as such, it says it is, she thought it was. It wasn't. We put up with the uncertainty because it would sure be inconvenient to have to personally deliver a double eagle to the bank in texas or new jersey when the mortgage is due. And besides, a double eagle is only worth what someone is willing to give you for it. Plastic money is what we have agreed to pay, and what they have agreed to accept. Funny when real money isn't real, and plastic money is. So I guess the question is "what flavor of mattress do you prefer?"[/QUOTE]
