Any reputable company with a shread of data security in place will not ask via email for you to update these type of records via the web. I get about 5 a week from "paypal" and all sorts of banks that I don't do business with. This message has been edited by dbudner on 02-04-2006 at 12:24 PM |

BeWare, You should disable those links that you posted. If any POA member clicks on one of them they are in for some trouble. Just delete the .com from the end. First rule: When in doubt about an e-mail - NEVER CLICK ON A LINK Charlie |
