And even when they do an authorisation it doesn't mean they will claim the money (e.g till operator makes an error or customer changes their mind. then why would the bank then stop the customer from being able to access funds that belong to them if either of these were the case?).
Well you try it then.Don't lie, thieve, cheat or steal. The Government do not like the competition.
