My debit card's "fraud protection":

  1. Regularly flags payments to subscription services as potential fraud even though I've used them for years, paying with the same debit card, and in spite of the fact that I've indicated many times that I trust these services; and
  2. Has never identified a real instance of fraud

Whatever they're doing to detect potential fraud, it has a large false positive rate and does not seem adaptive (at least in my case). It's especially odd to me that this bank asks if I've authorized transactions it flagged as potentially fraudulent, I indicate no, this is not fraud, and yet the system continues to flag transactions with the same vendor as potentially fraudulent. I'm giving it a reinforcement signal that couldn't be more clear!

@wetbeardhairs@lemmy.dbzer0.com Why do you think you're entitled to dictate to me how I live my life? You know nothing about me nor how I make my choices. This is an astonishingly inapt thing to post.

Were you not looking for advice? To me it read like you didn't want to just vent, but everybody makes mistakes I guess?

Whatever, risk the balance in your checking account idgaf. Be a dick to people online - it makes care about what you say even more. Ignore the advice of other people because you know more than everyone.
