Listen, smart ass... I'm thankful for persons like David who takes the time
and effort to inform others less knowledgeable than yourself. Since you have
nothing of a substantive nature to add, why don't you just shut up!

The reason David posted the message is for those lacking in that
department.....
case in point: How many times have you seen posts re: the "Teddy Bear"
virus, <jdbmgr> in the past few months? This has been in circulation
forever and, yet, there are those that continue to take the bait.

To add to David's warning:
This type of scam is called "phishing." It's been done using
bogus banking, eBay and PayPal logos, as well.
In fact, Citibank had already warned it's customers about this
very scam, back in August, if I remember correctly.

There is also one going around for AT&T Worldnet saying that there was a
billing error and your card was refused by your bank for payment of your
AT&T billing and they want you to resubmit your credit card info..The
tip of is they want your PIN number as well as the rest of your info,,
name address etc. I didn't fall for but did report it to AT&T. They
know about it and confirmed it as a scam. They want people who have
received such a message to forward it to (e-mail address removed).

Get a Computer terms lexicon. Phishing is the correct spelling. Just as
Phreaking is correct for hackers to specialize in home system hacks and
Warez is correct for pirated softeware.

QUINCY, Mass. (AP) A 39-year-old Boston man accused of stealing the
identities of at least four men and running up credit card debt in their
name pleaded innocent Monday to charges of identity theft and larceny.
Investigators say David Faulcon fraudulently obtained credit cards by
using the name and information of men named Paul Casey, including a
state representative from Winchester.
Boston police Superintendent John Gallagher said Faulcon may have also
stolen the identities of men in Connecticut and New York.

Identity complex: Man allegedly stole IDs of four men
By Thomas Caywood
Tuesday, November 25, 2003
A disabled AIDS education volunteer accused of swiping the identities of
at least four people named Paul Casey to charge thousands of dollars
worth of merchandise in their names posted $3,000 bail yesterday after
spending the weekend in jail.
David Faulcon, 39, of Boston pleaded innocent in Quincy District
Court yesterday to identity theft and larceny charges. Prosecutor Debi
Payton said Faulcon charged $327 worth of tile and gift cards at a Lowes
Home Improvement store in Weymouth in early October using the identity
of Paul Casey of Duxbury.
Faulcon likely will face a slew of similar charges in several
jurisdictions, authorities said.
