I don't remember how it works, I just know that you don't use it with unknown people. I was also shocked to know they can swipe their money back from Venmo and Paypal.

All you give people is an email address.
They don't need any other bank information. The scammers try to fool you into thinking you have to give that to them...
As long as you don't give out extra info, you're safe. Just like in any other banking transaction. Remember, every time you write a check, you're giving out your Bank and Account#...
