Re: ID theft

Yeah. That's the only place I use it: Amazon, LL Bean, Shield's Dates, mostly. But I've been using it with them for years, so I've given them a pass in my suspicions... even though anyone can acquire a rouge employee at any time. And that narrows it down to maybe a half dozen others, some new, some repeat. The bank, of course, has a better fix than I do--apparently they have an e-mail address for the perp because the first question they asked me was [something like] "Have you authorized anyone in Texas with an sbcglobal.net address to become a signee on" blah blah blah.
Having watched that 1936 cinematic masterpiece "Charlie Chan at the Opera" only a few hours before the bank called, I have become convinced that if I say "thank you so much" enough, the mystery will unravel. :)

No PayPal account; I've resisted their pitches. This breach was on one of 
the credit cards, the only credit card I use.

Well, it happened again. Somebody in Texas, the bank said, wanted to

my credit cards. The bank caught them in the process and shut down all 
my
credit/check cards, and deleted my on-line banking ID and password. So I 
got

to spend 3-4 hours on the phone straightening that out.
