Hehe, in Germany you can then just go to amanzon.de (or most other German 
websites) and use their bank account info to buy stuff.  It's unbelievable 
to me how that is possible, but it seems not many people abuse this system. 
Also once you have given your bank details to a 3rd party to take money from 
your account (eg a mobile phone contract) it is then impossible (AFAIK) to 
prevent them taking money (eg if you cancelled the contract).  In the UK at 
least you have to first authorise such agreements, and can cancel them at 
any time at the click of a button, which makes it impossible for them to 
take the money.
