reminds me of a case of some major spam emailer in the US
this guy was the sauce for millions of spam mails a day to addresses all over the world from his base in california(?) untill some one who should have a national holiday instigated after them posted this guys email address on the web.
bet you can guess what happened next ...

--- Quote from: "Sider" ---I keep maintaining, against the opinion of all the unbelievers, that the safest system against credit card fraud is the use of ID cards.

Now I wondered when someone would open that can of worms
ID cards are an excelent idear in this instance but as you know there will always be the people who are against them as big brother tactics etc but dont you tend to find that people who have this point of view are normaly the people with something to hide?

5. The most prominent credit card fraud is that of a card being stolen in the post before it gets to you. With or without a pin number a card can still be used on a 'signature' basis if the retailer will accept the risk involved. Retailers need to get wise to this NOW. IF YOUR CARD IS UP FOR RENEWAL AND IT HASN'T ARRIVED IN TIME, PHONE YOUR BANK, QUICK !!

Yep on this note redirect ALL mail for at least 3 months.... Prefereably 6
Especially if in rented accomodation...
Have a mate who's a postman and sees people obviously have moved, but then after a month or so you get a rash of Credit cards to the address with the previous tenants name. And by Law he HAS to deleiver them.
If you don't redirect mail you are at the mercy of the new person living at you old address :roll:
