Then why don't you enlighten as to why it is done. Having had problems with identity theft
Twice for me. By supposedly "trusted" people (including front desk managers at hotels). |

Did I miss the story about Al Qaeda and credit card fraud or the Unabomber and credit card fraud?
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29412159/ Al-Marri arrived in Peoria in September 2001 with his wife and five children to do graduate work at Bradley University. Three months later he was charged with credit card fraud and possession of false ID's. 2. The terrorists who executed the devastating 2004 Madrid train bombings, which killed almost 200 people, and who carried out the deadly July 7, 2005, attacks on the transportation system in London were self-financed, in part through credit card fraud. ............ 4. Younes Tsouli, aka “Terrorist 007,” and his two associates, Waseem Mughal and Tariq al-Daour, used computer viruses and stolen credit card accounts to set up a network of communication forums and web sites that hosted everything from tutorials on computer hacking and bomb making to videos of beheadings and suicide bombing attacks in Iraq. They raised funds through credit card information theft and fraud, which were used to support the communications, propaganda and recruitment for terrorists worldwide, as well as to purchase equipment for Jihadists in the field. One expert described their activities as “operating an online dating service for al-Qaeda.” The three men pled guilty to inciting terrorist murder via the internet. Sabarathnam Selvathurai, whose nom de guerre was Thamilendri, administered LTTE finances, which analysts say which were built to hundreds of millions of dollars a year up through smuggling, credit card fraud, extortion and Tamil diaspora donations. It is no longer acceptable to dismiss credit card fraud as a petty crime. This is not a petty crime when 200 or more people are killed from a terrorist bomb. |

Got it. Credit card fraud is really bad, regardless of whether linked to terrorism or not. Okay so far. Credit card fraud requires credit cards, so anyone with credit cards might be a terrorist. You're starting to lose me. Credit cards are found in wallets (except mine. After my wallet was stolen I keep the CCs separate.). So you want to read everything in people's wallet. Fail.:td: I notice from your links that a lot of terrorists use the internet. That makes everyone here a suspect. Better go turn yourselves in. :rolleyes: |

Conveniently ignored -- 18 of the 19 also preferred Coke over Pepsi, so should we be checking Coke drinkers more carefully?
"Dear Mom, can't come back to visit. I'm on the No Fly List." There's a thought. RadioMom just discovered email; I'll put her onto Nappy! There's no force in the universe like a stubborn woman with unlimited time. :D |

Calm down, TK. Just spoke to RadioMom and she's planning on starting with BHO. She reckons nothing will influence Nappy anyway. :(
