Did you read the article? You can still take cash out, you just have to use your card not your phone. The headline was to sensationalise the matter, but it only affects people who use their phones for everything. It was a security precaution.

The shops can no longer afford to absorb the bank costs and are passing them on to us. So it's not the shops but the banks, that are the culprits. TO avoid these fees PAY BY CASH whenever you can. It's not hard just withdraw what you think you will require for the week and put it in you...

I must agree with IAN3005, this is how it started in China look at it now. The ID must be used EVERYWHERE including social media and you say one thing out of line or against the Govt. and they punish them quickly and in many ways, restricting travel type and even where they can travel too...

Quite right! Guess what, the brain contains around 20% cholesterol. Quoted from an expert site "The magical areas where communication between brain cells takes place—are lined by cholesterol-rich membranes responsible for passing neurotransmitters like serotonin" wonder why so many are getting...

I think you have it wrong. "The Registry is a list that tells registered telemarketers what numbers not to call — but it doesn’t block calls. So being on the Registry won’t stop calls from scammers making illegal calls. " That's a direct quote from their site. But your idea has merit and...

Well said. More people who are awake like this are sorely needed.

How could monitoring a register stop scammers? Especially when it seems they can spoof any number that's available .

Not only those, but all this so called alternative energies. Look around Australia and see how much has been done already to accomodate those stupid wind turbines and solar panels. Why aren't they taking advantage of all the real eastate on top of all city building etc. or the desert areas...

Don't think the registaer would stop scammers, but your idea of all or nothing makes sense and one wonders why the other banks and services are not taking advantage of this feature.

How is it picky to point out that the headline doesn't even come close to matching the real life situation. This is the face of journalism with the left in power, they exaggerate and twist things to suit the left's agenda, I for one do not watch thew news anymore and take what I read with a...

Anyone with a little common sense wouldn't take an unsolicited call for gospel, ask which department the officer is from and then tell him you will ring that squad to double check. Don't trust anything you hear over a phone when there is money involved. ALWAYS double check, who is it going to...

Right, we are from the Government we are here to help. What a load of BS, this is the forerunner of what's happening in China. Eeverybody there has a "Digital ID" and it's used everywhere even on social media. You say, do, or purchase items frowned upon by the CCP then you get penalised...

Like the article says "We got a message that said " it was an SMS.

It's an SMS not a phone call.

If you pay with cash for these minor transactions, there is no possibility of you being overcharged. That's my practice anyway.

I don't think people are applying political correctness. I for one think these opening ceremonies over the last few Olympics have been piss poor and do nothing to celebrate any sports. I am not offended by them as I choose not to be, I would however be very pissed if I had paid to go to the...

This was the scene that everyone reacted to. I personally fail to see how this celebrates sport in any way shape or form. As per previous opening ceremonies it was in very poor taste.

I tried it a couple of times but kept falling in the sink.
