What To Do When Banks Try To Scam You

I know this has nothing to do with games but this is pretty funny.

Every so often we receive unsolicited offers from our banks with credit card "deals" and the such. But what happens when you decide to "amend" the find print and create your own terms? As it turns out, banks really don't have the time or possibly effort to read the fine print. A Russian man has done what most of us would have dreamed of.

Dmitry Agarkov changed a few things in his contract and sent it back to the bank which surprisingly accepted. His contract gave him 0% interest rates and no fees or credit limits amongst other things.

It's a pretty interesting article that's worth reading especially when the court ruled that his contract is legally valid and the bank had to pay him credit card cancellation fees. The trial will continue in September.
