Everyday Life
Why should I look beyond a small payment when someone asks to use my bank account?
English translation draft · Based on the Chinese article. This is not a word-for-word translation approved by Master Shengyuan.
Do not think only of easy money when someone pays to use an account. I have met young people who handed over bankbooks and cards, then sought prayer against litigation after trouble arose. Others said their accounts were misused without permission. Voluntary handover and genuine impersonation differ. Clarify what actually happened.
We discussed people accepting a few thousand or ten thousand dollars because providing an account seemed minor. Investigation, litigation and lawyers later revealed costs potentially far beyond that payment. The reminder is to look beyond immediate benefit. Individual legal responsibility cannot be decided from this conversation alone.
I also feel deities face difficulty here. Victims hope to recover money, while account providers acknowledge wrong and hope consequences avoid them. Admission matters, but prayer cannot erase effects on others. Before acting, imagine being the person defrauded. Not committing the deception directly does not remove the need to face your own choice.
