Albert Gonzales has pleaded guilty. No surprise there. Will be interseting to see what happens on 8th December.

I've lost my credit card twice and my ATM card four times! It always happens when I change bags or my wallet. I just always misplace it. Thanks for this article though.. I'm going to be more aware and guarded when it comes to my finances.

I guess people like me sometimes forget that cards are also money so we don't take care of these tiny pieces of plastic as much as we protect our cash.

I highly suggest that everyone must know this because it's us who can protect ourselves. Only we can know about these our accounts and as much as possible we need to not to share whatever information we can especially for those who signs up in different contest or fan based organizations.

I do agree with the things you said and I can pretty much relate with these because someone close to me was a victim of this and I don't want any else to suffer the same thing. Thing is, he joined in these contest where he can win more and he gave his information including his account credit card number. And by the time the mail came, he just saw a very large amount of money charged to him and he quickly called the credit card company to ask why the charge so big and the company gladly gave the purchase dates and he couldn't believe his eyes. He told the company that he didn't purchase these. So he canceled the account.

I hope this serves as a lesson to all. Never trust your financial account over the internet.
