My God! I must be a pervert or a criminal or something. I guess I better comply! It has "govt" in the address, so it must be official.

What I wouldn't give for a face-to-face meeting with these jerks!

My reply is inappropriate for this board.

    It is a bold attempt to get personal identification numbers, that's all.

    The site appears to be that of US Bancorp.
    I would be calling them pronto to see if some one had used my Credit Card # for that transaction.

    It traces back to US Bancorp

    If you can not sucker you into giving the data -- infuriate you is a good tactic. Beware with that personal information.



    "A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I
    advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives
    boldness, enterprise, and independence to the mind. Games played with the
    ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no
    character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of
    your walks." Thomas Jefferson

    If US Bankcorp is a legitimate organization, why would they send such an obvious bogus threat?

    I use a credit card online every once in a while. I bought a Vermont Teddy Bear for Dawnie, and some aquarium stuff for me, and I bought some stuff from Sportsman's Guide at Christmas, but I have never used a card to pay for any sort of online services.

    Nunn:: Did the Ex ever use your credit card????

    Vermont Teddy Bear??? Chris and I toured the factory last year. You get to make your own bears and choose which ingrediants to put into them! It's a pretty neat little factory! We crossed over into Vermont on our trip to the Adirondacks!

    Crazy world. I keep a seperate credit card with a very low balance and that is the only card I will use online or over the phone to.
