Just a word of caution, also beware of what looks like a reputable site. I help teach a class on credit card security for our agency and you'd be surprised how real some of the sites look. If you don't have any past dealings with a company, BEWARE. > From: wo...@justfamily.org > Date: Sat, 21

There is a lesson to be learned in all of this, use secure passwords, keep an active virus scanner on your computer, a firewall and spyware/malware scanners are good as well. Also, don't open attachments and be wary of websites that are not from reputable companies. Not using windows is another g
