I think I will have Bill or John (Ruger or Browning) answer the door for me!  Need a bigger "No Solicitors et al "sign!  Thanks for the warning order!

I just got a call telling from what sounded like the bank I use telling me I had some unusual activity on my credit card and to press one immediately to speak to an agent. I checked my credit card activity and found nothing out of the ordinary. To be on the safe side I called my bank, no unusual activity, a total scam and it all sounded very official.

Yep Eric....Those are the varmints I'm talking about.You did the right thing by checking with your bank.
Asking them for their ph. no. to call back usually puts a kink in their plan.

We had one on here that stolen money from me. I outed him with Eddie and he is long gone from this site. Nothing worse than a lying thief.
