In terms of Facebook ads, you can add your bank account details as a payment method to your FB account.

now thats scary. crazy the info they trust facebook and google with, no wonder theyre so willing to give it to whoever over the phone. i was working in a store that had an ipad for our pos system. a scammer called one day saying he was from microsoft and our cash register was reporting viruses on it. so i kept him on the line while i worked and acted like an idiot, "windows key + R, whats that mean?" after 15 or 20 mins, i finally told him "hey guy, we arent even running windows here, were on ios!" then he yells at me, about wasting his time. like, you called me at work, youre wasting my time. eh, it was a slow day anyway. the longer i talk to him the less time he has to scam more inexperienced people.

"He" (the scammer) called you, had you on the line for 20 minutes, yet he believes "you're" wasting his time? Absolutely hilarious. Well done on your end.
