谢谢提醒。网上购物现在有的credit card公司都可以有假号了，会安全很多。

"用银行服务大婶的话说，写check要慎重，不要给随便什么人乱写，这个我有点不理解"

TRUE. In US and many credit based countries, one ONLY need your bank number and name to withdraw money from your account. Because by default, bank trust them (credit). By the way, believe it or not, the bank NEVER verify the signature. Signature is only used after something happened.

又一个人的：

1-866-538-7581. this is the number who called us and said they were American Financial (website americanfinancialcard.net)and wanted to give us a $2000 card (not a credit card). I asked the girls name and said I would call them back. I called back and got a different girl, and she said the exact same thing the other girl had said as if they read from the same script, well needless to say they gave me the run around and would not put me in touch with the original person. So as i am talking with her I am on their website reading the "terms and conditons" OMG, if that doesn't say, "I am going to bend you over and take your money", I don't know what does. She could not answer my questions clearly and stammered several times. I told them I would talk it over with my wife and hung up. So check this out, here we have them calling us first, then i called them back, got through easy enough with the same number. Now i am suspicious and they call me back and now its a man. could not get either of the first 2 operators back to talk with. They kept saying they needed to verify our checking account, needing both the acct.# and routing #. I said let me check out your website and ill do this on-line. Guess what, their web site is currently being updated, how convienient. lol!
The wife and I had recently changed financial institutions and had a checking account still "active" but no funds were in it, we had already moved the money to the new account. So I gave them the #'s to the empty account. They ask me to hold on while they verify it. Then i'm told that they are haveing problems with thier computers and would call back tomorrow and continue the verification process. As I am chuckling under my breath, my suspiscions were right. Truth be known, they verified the account right then and there, lied about thier computers messing up so as to call back tomorrow. As soon as we end our phone call, I try to contact through the same number,(the one I was able to get through so easily) and now only got a recording. Hmmmmmmm? I just left the phone on and walked away from it and 4 hours later the same recording was still playing. Hmmmmmmmmm? I call the bank and yup, they tried to get funds. Hmmmmmmmm? lol! lol! The bank did not honor it! Tried to e-mail them at thier customer service address and got a "failure to deliver" in my e-mail. Hmmmmmmmm? THE MORAL OF THE STORY. They didn't get nothing from us and I can only hope that they feel as scammed and ripped off as I would have felt had I not been suspicious. And I hope my letter here brings awareness to light and prevents alot of people from getting scammed.

SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM
