@FugudokuBust - the first direct strike he tosses her way, sidestepping as she did so in what looked more like a tango than any sort of combat art. Chuckling away as she took her new position behind him.

@prmahoney1976 Hi Paul, To send a payment to your credit card, select a 1st Account- then 'Move Money' followed by 'New Large Business'- then from the 'select type' screen, select 'Cards' and scroll down to ‘First Direct Cards’ select your card type and follow the instructions. -Nicole

@mollymedma You should have some fun with them. Send replies written in broken English and state you’re actually a Nigerian Princess acting undercover, seeking to give away $ millions ... but you’ll need their bank account number for that first direct deposit. 😜

Follow the money! Who financed this operation? This isn’t the first attempted coup against the United States. This was the first direct and deadly brazen attempt. The first coup attempt we learned was financed by some of the nations wealthiest people and corporate powers.

Tough time for her. But it's hard to believe she was conned like this. Normally when we get a job we confirm first directly from the authorities directly by calling them.

@vcav I didn’t call healthfirst directly; I called some nyc health number. They messed up my name spelling so that took mad long to fix for some reason, so it took a while for my card, but you’ll get the member number

@MildredLocke @firstdirecthelp Hi Mildred, we've had a thought about what the issue could be. Earlier in 2020 First Direct replaced their open banking APIs with some shiny new ones. That meant to renew your connection in Snoop you have to remove First Direct re-add it. Could you give that a try?

@Benjami66149872 That sounds weird. Has he questioned it with the bank, if he's serious about your flat? First Direct turned down mortgage on my current flat, but when I queried it, they decided it was a mistake and offered one after all.

@firstdirecthelp So I tried again following your advice and was advised that I had entered the security code incorrectly 3 times and I am now locked out again for 5 mins (TFX101). I have never experienced this issue before. I am running out of time to pay this money.

@firstdirecthelp That’s the issue I am having, the app is only asking for the last 4 digits of the IBAN number. My only option is then the generate button. I’m never given the option to enter the value of the transaction. I’ve tried nearly 10 times and at no point has the 2nd box come up.

@ErebusMaligan @jeffqchen @broken_slight @retrotink2 Yeah I think the direct translation for me would be sets too (ensembles). Probably the first direct allusion to the symbols, but I think that's "advanced" maths only in secondary education over here. Gives me some problem in automation when I need to explain defining variables.

@callaway213 They HAVE my details. They sent me the first direct deposit just fine. The last 4 digits of my bank account show on the payment status for the last stimulus.
Problem is- this time the IRS sent the $600 for millions of people to Turbo Tax instead of our actual accounts.
