I tried spoofing Firefox 79.0, Chrome 86.0.4240.75, and Edge 18.18363. None of those worked. In closing the account at UFCU, I will pull out approximately 2/3 of our annual living expenses. I have already started to do that. That might not mean much to UFCU, but it is a large sum to me. -- David E.
