It sounds like the same story I read last night, which had me digging through last week's emails and realizing I'd been had.
I'm slipping up and getting less paranoid the older I get. : - [ Not a good thing. I think I need to put up some posters reminding myself, "Smart people really ARE trying to get you." :-P

Anyone have any tips on what to do if you suspect "identity theft"? Dan ScottI heard a news item today on radio while driving, about some con artist pretending to be eBay and sent email to people getting account numbers on some pretext for account confirmation or something. Way back I got an email like this myself, that I forwarded to ebay abuse department. I thought it was very audacious. The radio story must've been about the same con. Tonghang.
