Stranger things have happened before. How many of you remember that after it lost its bid to be bought by MS Intuit went out and bought a company out of Iowa called Parsons Technology. The reason? To kill off it's Tax Edge program. It shuttered Tax Edge, and then slowly dismantled the

I think someone is spoofing you. As far as I know it is impossible to get your SS # through your DNS#. But this goes to show you to what lengths they will go to get you to send them info. I read recently that most of the hack jobs and viruses sent out today are being traced back to

I'd be more interested to know how we're supposed to use someone's DNS to get their credit score? That's not scary, it's humorous. On Jan 20, 2008 3:25 PM, Roger D. Parish [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I got the following message, ostensibly in response to a posting I made on this list. While

I recently had a similar experience. I was burning an iDVD for a presentation on my Mac laptop. It worked in my Mac my PC. When they tried to play it on their (4-5 year old) HP laptop, it wouldn't recognize. I tried several things, then took a look at the HP laptop's DVD drive. It was a

I haven't seen anything like this. By DNS, perhaps he means a whois record? Do you have any domains registered under your name? But, using DNS to get a SSN? BS. -Original Message- I'd be more interested to know how we're supposed to use someone's DNS to get their credit score?
