I got an email of a lad who wants my bank details. He wants a swift code but ive never heard of one in real life so i asked him. Here is his reply

Quote:

The swift code is your bank rotting number to avoid wrong transfer.

Any ideas?

Tell him you called your bank and they only gave you an acct number and routing number.

I've never had a lad insist on obtaining something like that from me. If he keeps on pestering for it, just tell him to call the bank himself and ask.

Its a code used to identify a particular bank. I think they're mainly used in international transfers.

Rotting probably translates as routing.

Or you could get all tangential - a swift is a kind of bird, so a rotting swift, why would it have a number? How many does he want? You've got some chicken in the fridge that has gone out of date, you could send that if he's really hungry? Is it true that there are people starving in Africa? You've got some old lettuce and tomatoes too if they want some salad?

Persisting with a tangent whilst he tries to explain the intricacies of international banking will keep everyone (except the lad) entertained Wink

There are a lot of rotting banks in the world right now.
Ask the Lad which one of the rotting banks your should use for this.
In my opinion, CitiGroup is rotting bank #1. Laughing

Occasionally I've told a Banker Lad demanding routing and Swift numbers "Just ask ---- bank and they'll tell you, because I have no idea."

I think he's saying he wants you to give him a rotten number.

Ive taken the route of acting completely dumb.

I thought i had completely gaffed a bait up by filling a form i was sent, by a lad with details of another character I'm playing. It was late and i was sleepy Rolling Eyes

He wasn't even bothered just told me to contact the "Bank" with the details i had just sent him plus a photocopy of my passport. Unfortuantely the
