So do you have an empty account that you're willing to provide details
for?

Over here in Australia most banks will let you withdraw slightly more
money than you have, and then happily charge you a high interest rate
on the overdrawn amount.

And a friend in the US told me that she emptied out an account and
her husband left an ISP account doing direct debit from it (even
though he didn't need the account any more).  The US bank quite
happily honoured the direct debit from the ISP, taking the account
balance negative, and then charged about $30 per day in overdraft
fees.

Now--those account details???
