I hate THIEVES ONLINE.

I used to work Fraud Prevention for WAMU ... I've had to deal with tons of those cases.
So long as you have a reputable bank, they're going to give you your funds back and reverse the fees.
The three biggest sources of somebody fraudulently using your bank account are online hacks, lost/stolen cards, and, the one that most people do not look out for, is a magnetic stripe reader that thievely a-holes attach to ATMs and "pay at the pump" gas stations.
So next time you swipe your card, you may want to look for a little box shaped device next to it.

Was it Buddy Bailey?
Seriously though, fraud is a huge problem. I have started to move away from using a debit card for purchases, and use a regular credit card instead. You have more protection when you use a CC. Also, they can't drain your bank account.
[sarcasm] Oh, and there's this thing called "cash". I believe it's still accepted in some places. [/sarcasm]

Ha, yep. You don't see many people wanting to carry cash these days though.
Unless they've got more than they know what to do with.
