Lady Pink
It is a sad case, really. There is a former star in Japan, called Lady Pink. Apparently, she was famous in the 1970s (I have never heard of her, but then, I am not Japanese). She lost slightly more than US$150,000 in a case of identity theft (phishing). The lady, now 46 years old, didn’t realise that somewhat had copied her creditcard and started to withdraw money from her ATM machine last autumn – in a total of 10 occasions.

She says that she hardly uses the account and therefore only realised after such a long time, that her money was gone.
