The message here should be to be wary of unsolicited commercial e-mail (UCE) a/k/a SPAM. Here are two resources that may help list members. I own E-Tailer's Digest which is a free discussion list that reaches 2,300 retailers in 49 countries. We discuss "Everything Retail" which includes merchant accounts. If anybody has an "offer" like this, even from a legitimate bank, we would post it to the discussion list and some retailer/etailer someplace in the world would respond. http://www.etailersdigest.com/ A second resource is the Association for International Business (AIB) a not-for-profit international discussion list with 12,000 members in 2000 countries. Members discuss all types of issues related to doing business internationally including merchant accounts and fraud. I am a long-term member (#84) and member of the board The dues are $18 per year, and they take gold! Standard Reserve is paying for one year's membership plus donating money to the AIB for any member who obtains a SR Instant Anywhere account from their site. http://www.aib-world.org/memberbenefits.shtml FWIW George ______________________________________ George Matyjewicz, President Standard Reserve Corp. -- Atlanta, GA World Wide Currency for the World Wide Web http://www.standardreserve.com mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] --- You are currently subscribed to e-gold-list as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
