I'm just guessing, but maybe a con man could figure out a way to contact your bank and con them into wiring money from your account to an account that he can take the money out of? Or if it is a checking account, maybe a con man could print fake checks drawn on your account? Whatever the scheme, I guess they are probably looking for accounts with certain banks which they either have inside contacts with or otherwise know that their security is poor. -- "Erik Reuter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.erikreuter.net/ _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
