Thanks Rip off reports. I have been aware of these scams but it really irrates me that these people would take advantage of people like this. I'm one of the lucky ones that thought to check it out what about the ones that don't? This is not right. I will go to the bank tomorrow so they can have all of the info on these scammers.
