Well, being a simpleton myself, thats the easiest thing for me to remember.
The email that intiated my first post was from[I thought] MSN and it did look real. Never would've been suspicious but they asked for my social security number. At that time, the alarm bells went off causing me to post my question. Had it not been for that, I would've filled it out and sent it off.
I guess I think everyone is honest. Bad habit. Thanks for everyones input.
Cheers,
Bill
