Apparently, anyone can send an fax, but if an email has me in the
from-line, that proves it came from me.
And this is a bank.
And we wonder why there's fraud ...

      We have to try this. Where do I send email to tell them that Dr Solly
      has moved to Japan? (Or Dr Solly could do that himself, I mean, he should
      be able to afford a house in Tokyo as long as he avoids the insanely expensive
      bits like azabu-juuban, shoto, and anywhere the ex-pat scum live in large herds.)

      If it works, the press can have a field day ^^;

Would the media really be that interested in my emigration to Japan?
