That's an incredibly kind offer, and I would surely take you up on it,
but my bank/debit card company itself notifies me every few weeks that
my card has been compromised and sends me a new card.

It's been 10 years or more since the first time my credit card was
hijacked; I don't know how it happened. I discovered it by looking at
my account on-line and seeing a $17 purchase in the Netherlands and a
$7 purchase in the Ukraine.

$17!? $7!? Sheesh! If I were stealing credit cards I would be buying
cars and yachts and the like, not Starsucks coffee! By the way, my cars
range from six to 20-years old and I own no watercraft of any kind.

Ah, so. Thanks for that tip.

I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that
you will say in your entire life.
