This is INTERNET FRAUD No.1

I got this in my e-mail InBox today...


Dear Customer,

Due to recent account takeovers and unauthorized listings, St.George is requesting a new account verification procedure. From time to time, randomly selected accounts (seller and/or buyer) are placed under an advanced updating process based on merchant relationsand on-file credit cards. St.George may also request in an email message scanned/faxed copies of one or more photo ID's. Your account confirmation may go wrong if your credit card has expired, or if you have changed/replaced your credit card without letting us know about the change.

Your account is not suspended, but if in 36 hours after you receive this message your account is not confirmed we reserve the right to terminate your St.George subscription.

If you received this notice and you are not an authorized St.George account holder, please be aware that it is in violation of St.George policy to represent oneself as an St.George user. Such action may also be in violation of local, national, and/or international law.
