    If one of your creditors calls you with a fraud
    \nalert asking questions get the card name and call back to the number on your statement.

    \nyou from the outside they could be anyone, including someone fishing for
    \ninformation.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n
