Since you can't find the card, the number on their contact page is: *Customer Service and General Information* 1-800-528-4800 / collect Int'l 1-336-393-1111
(You're welcome) :-) FWIW, there IS a part on their web page which says: _Patriot Act Notice:_ Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account, including your name, address, date of birth and other information that will allow us to verify your identity. I would think that the fact that they reached you at your number, confirms your number, and they could confirm your other facts by reading what THEY have, and you saying, "uh huh." _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
