I have to agree with Ed's sentiments on special gel pens for preventing check fraud - waste of money. This is nothing more than classic fear mongering - the selling of myths that widens the boundaries of panic and grows the markets for those who sell and deliver solutions.

So CC companies don't notice a new address/phone just before a bunch of suspicious transactions? This should come as a red popup window @ CS screen. The cost: a few lines of code. Perhaps we need laws that make CC issuers more liable to fraud losses (rather than dump them on merchants), to stimulate neural activity.

I tried to give this company the benefit of the doublt after encountering such issues but the today I draw the line. so be careful..

In his defense, while it may have been for research, the book is completely engrossing. I've read it a few times already and it never loses its appeal. It could be that Bill just like good books and it took him awhile to get to this particular one. :) ======================================== Tom O, You wrote "maybe he just likes good books and it took him a while to get to this particular one" Actually, he was reading the book the SAME month it was published--maybe just days after it was made available. --Tom F

This painted a scenario for somebody who would apply for a bad credit loan. If you've got bad credit and recently have applied for a loan with Royal Bank, TD Canada Trust, Bank of Montreal, ScotiaBank, Bank of Commerce, and have been denied, then you need to take heed to that. There are other lenders that may help you out such as HouseHold Finance, which is a HIGH RISK lender.Mortgages

So an immigrant has to be here illegally? There are a lot of Asian immigrants in Southern California as well, some legal, some illegal. I have seen firsthand the hoops you have to jump here to come here legally, even to marry a citizen. And you can't get an SSN just for credit purposes.
