Now, I'm fully aware of the ignorance of the end-user, but... C'MON!!!

I mean, why would a bank *need* your SSN??? - I'd shoot 'em back an e-mail (if I didn't already *know* this was a scam) and tell them "why don't you tell *me* - after all, you knew my e-mail address - how about you give me a call - you have my name and number, don't you??? Hell, I wrote it down on a little form for ya even! Check my records! If you can't even keep up w/ that information, I'm afraid I can't trust you w/ my money..."

I mean, I *know* people are ignorant when it comes to computers, I know - I work w/ the morons on a daily basis... but, *please* - I mean, this *exact* same scam could have been carried out over the phone 15 years ago... well, w/out all the "e-fraud" nonsense, anyway... the fact of the matter is that people are *still* scared of computers and will believe whatever we (or *they*) tell them... nonetheless, I think that those that fall for a scam *this* obvious "have it coming"...

now I love the little old ladies as much as you do, but, damnit - the Internet is the median of commerce of the future...

AND IT'S TIME PEOPLE STOP FALLING FOR STUPID BULLSHIT!!!

anyway, that's my 2 cents...
