in reply to the opting out of credit cards...not sure which one it is, but im gonna go look NOW.
so tired of shredding all the offers i get every day.]]>Aug 3rd 2007 10:11AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/08/01/how-thieves-make-fake-credit-cards/http://www.switched.com/2007/08/01/how-thieves-make-fake-credit-cards/
I have opted out of these credit card offers, but still receive some. I do the same thing with these as a prior writer: I write "VOID" on the offer, tell them to take me off their mailing list, and mail back in their postage-paid envelope. I figure if they are going to break the law they should pay the 41 cents and whatever manpower costs it takes to open and process what they hoped was a "bite".]]>Aug 3rd 2007 11:01AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/08/01/how-thieves-make-fake-credit-cards/http://www.switched.com/2007/08/01/how-thieves-make-fake-credit-cards/Aug 3rd 2007 10:20AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/08/01/how-thieves-make-fake-credit-cards/http://www.switched.com/2007/08/01/how-thieves-make-fake-credit-cards/
I do take exception to the Enigma analogy-- we hardly "conquered" Germany's Enigma code, we simply captured an intact decoding machine that allowed us to decipher every message the Germans sent. Even when they figured out we were breaking the code and added another wheel to their machines, we had a huge head start on cracking the more complex codes...

But I do agree on the general point.]]>Aug 3rd 2007 10:23AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/08/01/how-thieves-make-fake-credit-cards/http://www.switched.com/2007/08/01/how-thieves-make-fake-credit-cards/
Going back to Checks isn't the best way to avoid being defrauded. Checks can be stolen or copied just as easily as anything else. All someone needs is your routing number, your account number and then a check printer which can be purchased nearly anywhere and they're more than likely going to be able to print off checks in your name and get at your money. Couple these scenarios with fake IDs which have always been fairly easy to get for anyone who wants to get them and you're at just as much risk using checks if not more. At least with most VISA debit cards you're not responsible for unauthorized purchases.]]>Aug 3rd 2007 10:24AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/08/01/how-thieves-make-fake-credit-cards/http://www.switched.com/2007/08/01/how-thieves-make-fake-credit-cards/
