Heads-up on american express scam

So many scammers...

I run my own mail server and because I receive a lot of "off the wall" mail from certain folks, I really cant tighten up the spam filter that much more.

So I get a lot of these.. Today, there were a bunch purporting to acknowledge United Airlines tickes, a bogus Verizon bill, and a variety of "paypal charges" for large sums, that were totally bogus.

In a lot of these, as you are reading the emails, if you put your mouse over a link (don't click them, just move your mouse over), you will see the destination for that link is NOT where it should be.

If you are a Vet and want good honest service from a company known for it's integrity and customer service. Apply for membership in USAA, I have used them since 1977 and wouldn't bank or use any other investment broker. I have bought every new car I have ever owned through their buyer service. Their insurance can not be beat! Their point system on their American Express is great. I don't have it, but I think they have a 6% Visa or MasterCard. They have home loans, they are truly a one-stop shopping for banking.
