While I had this e-mail open my ex-roomate came over to get the rest of his stuff. I had to use the bathroom and never suspecting him of this I left my wallet on the table. While I was in the batroom he clicked on the link, paid, and printed out the list of banks.

This list of banks are first premier and the such... none will give credit limits such as the ones stated above. Especially to someone with my credit. I have sent numerous e-mails to this "company" telling them that it was a fraudulent use of my card but no response.

If you get this e-mail DO NOT PAY!!
