Uber charged a woman $789 for a trip of 0.03km (100 ft.) in a town she'd >never been in. She fought the charge and Uber responded by blocking her
use of the app. Surprisingly, the bank took steps to give her money back
so she's not out-of-pocket.

By the way, the town she allegedly visited is spelled "Curtis" in the >subtitles but should be spelled "Courtice" (it is *pronounced* the same
as "Curtis"). Courtice is close to Mosport, a major race track I have
visited a number of times in my yout'.

BoA is the worst I've ever dealt with, but Wells Fargo is certainly
extremely evil.
