Re: Email Scams, Telemarketing, and Identity Theft

Well, After Sam's post I received a phone call from an anonymous caller 
who told me that I was pre-approved for a car loan as a result of my 
web-form submission.  A submission I never made.

I reviewed my credit report activity the next day, and have been since.  
All kinds of business opportunities blossom as a result of such scams.  
My bank makes some more money by offering me a very inexpensive credit 
monitoring service, and presumably the three Agencies get a share.  So, 
I wonder who is hiring the "captcha" readers and how much this is costing.

After I hung up the telemarketer call, I quickly covered my head with 
shaving cream.  As any self-respecting Psychologist knows, such coverage 
used to be a standard method of defeating mind-control.  YMMV  :-)
