Title: New Email Scam!
Post by: marie on January 28, 2004, 05:09:19 PM

Just on our local news..
An email stating it is from the Deparment of Homeland security stating your bank has lost its FDIC backing due to the Patriot Act.
Apparently they ask for account #s, SSN, etc.
BEWARE friends!!

Thanks! One wonders if it's safe to write checks or use a credit card at any merchant or even to pay your bills, but I do it all the time!
