Brings to mind a scam of a different nature....a couple of years ago, I dutifully purchased gas at the Shell on 466...a few days later, I got a call from my Credit Union asking if I had been in Bangkok or the Phillipines..turned out that a hacker had gotten at the CC numbers of the nightly consolidator..so ON THE SAME DAY scammers were buying electroincis in a store in Bangkok to the tune of $4500 AND withdrawing cash in the Phillipines to the tune of $1200....of course, I got it all back. However, I did get one credit card that I use ONLY for gas purchases, etc. with a lower limit so if it is scammed, it will be caught more quickly. I also scan my CC and bank statements every month to make sure they are OK. You can't be too vigilant these days.
