I gave my PIN to my boyfriend, and he took most of the money out of my account. What can I do?

Contact your financial institution and change your PIN (Personal Identification Number) immediately. Also contact your local police as a crime (the removal of your money without permission) took place. Then, consider how you will keep the new number safe in the future. As you've learned, giving your PIN to someone else is like opening the door to your bank accounts.
