Eric,
I agree fully with you. It would be rather nice if we
could check out a new outexchange client, perhaps then
we could stop them from getting at their ill gotten
gains, that would certainly slow down the amount of
fraud.
Obviously this requires assistance from the providor's
to do, can we expect any assistance?
Frank,
