This shows that we must be viligant against Phishing and other scams. That is precisely why I never want to buy anything via internet. However, it will not be difficult to set up with my Bank a very small "Secured" credit card of say $300- for internet use. Once that card is used up it is shredded, account cleaned out and closed at the Bank's office. <br /> <br />It is unfortunate that people seek to take advantage of others by way of "Social Enginerring" and strict use of such confidential information as well as careful monitoring and tracking of such purchases and avoidiance of direct access by others to the account (Bank) is best defense. <br /> <br />One thing I want to cation people is to watch the use of the credit card at a restraunt, Mall or someplace for a purchase... Make SURE they do not swipe it twice. One can go to Office Depot and buy a credit card reader for 60 bucks, wire it to a laptop and sit it next to a cash register... use that then swipe it into the "Real" card reader to fini***he purchase. <br /> <br />Nothing beats a willing LHS and cold hard cash. If he or she cannot get it then Ill wait for Train Shows. If I cannot get the item then Ill take the time to search out a suitable subistute. <br /> <br />Best of luck everyone! <br /> <br />Lee
