Well, you can go there and read their credentials, appears very credible to me, it's an 'anti fraud education group' that has tipped federal authorities of credit card fraud, etc etc. But like anything else on the net, if you are suspicious, best not to use it. If you do decide, you may have to wait in line due to it's SPAMoverwhelming popularity.

I heard it was the lemmings that were stealing all the identies SPAM:o

I would only check into something like this if I had a charge I couldn't account for. Besides am very cautious when using CC online anyhow.

Course that doesn't necessarily mean I'll never be a victim. Hey I read the Girlfriend Thread and saw -=aoC|PRoZaK=- Face without his girlfriend.

What was this thread about again? SPAM;D Just playin guys.

Well, I just checked mine and it was not in the data base so it is never been tampered with. The site is very secure, about as secure as anything I have ever seen on the net. Probally a lot more secure than Ebay and PayPal was last yr when 40-50,000 cards were compromised over their facilities and fell in to the hands of hackers.
