    Gotta give these scammers credit, their English is getting better.

    Lol.

    I never knew money got deposited onto your ATM Card, I thought it was a bank account, and a atm card is just a way to access it... but you can transfer money from one bank account to another.

    "use to withdraw funds anywhere OF the world" aye?
