I believe that most complaints on this topic, with attendant "how to
complain and force banks to change" have a major flaw -- the little guy is
of no interest to any bank, and has no clout. Only the big depositors and
businesses carry any weight. Those are the folks who make a profit for
banks. The little guys are more trouble than they are worth, except,
generally, for PR purposes.

Personally, I am all for banks tightening up on fraud prevention.
