Some outfit in Tampa, FL, using the name above, has sent a postcard urging "Your credit card has not been activated..." etc. etc. It's first class, not bulk mail; but no envelope, and no indication whatever what credit card might be involved -- and as much hype as they can fit on a card. Is it an outright scam? A pitch for one of the worst credit card deals in the business? Why else? It does have fine print about a "special offer," which sounds like a tip-off. My guess is that it's some piece of loan sharkery which is legal -- by the skin of its teeth -- and shouldn't be. Anybody know any more? I'm certainly not about to call them! But if it's what I think, I'd love to hear of them being sentenced to a few decades at hard labor. Those of you who like messing with dirty-nasties may wish to watch your mail for the like. -- RR 'Beartooth' Neuswanger <karhunhammas (at) lserv.com> WARNING: this communication is now exempt from all privacy laws and may be read by a police agency at any time without warrant or notice. - USA Patriot Act of 2001
