The complete TeamGrumman-List FAQ including these Usage Guidelines can be found at the following URL: http://www.matronics.com/FAQs/TeamGrumman-List.FAQ.html Thank you, Matt Dralle Matronics Email List Administrator ****************************************************************************** TeamGrumman-List Usage Guidelines ****************************************************************************** The following details the official Usage Guidelines for the TeamGrumman-List. You are encouraged to read it carefully, and to abide by the rules therein. Failure to use the TeamGrumman-List in the manner described below may result in the removal of the subscribers from the List. TeamGrumman-List Policy Statement The purpose of the TeamGrumman-List is to provide a forum of discussion for things related to this particular discussion group. The List's goals are to serve as an information resource to its members; to deliver high-quality content; to provide moral support; to foster camaraderie among its members; and to support safe operation. Reaching these goals requires the participation and cooperation of each and every member of the List. To this end, the following guidelines have been established: - Please keep all posts related to the List at some level. Do not submit posts concerning computer viruses, urban legends, random humor, long lost buddies' phone numbers, etc. etc. - THINK carefully before you write. Ask yourself if your post will be relevant to everyone. If you have to wonder about that, DON'T send it. - Remember that your post will be included for posterity in an archive that is growing in size at an extraordinary rate. Try to be concise and terse in your posts. Avoid overly wordy and lengthy posts and responses. - Keep your signature brief. Please include your name, email address, aircraft type/tail number, and geographic location. A short line about where you are in the building process is also nice. Avoid bulky signatures with character graphics; they consume unnecessary space in the archive. - DON'T post requests to the List for information when that info is easily obtainable from other widely available sources. Consult the web page or FAQ first. - If you want to respond to a post, DO keep the "Subject:" line of your response the same as that of the original post. This makes it easy to find threads in the archive. - When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your response. DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in" the reader to the topic at hand, but be selective. The impact that quoting the entire original post has on the size of the archive can not be overstated! - When the poster asks you to respond to him/her personally, DO NOT then go ahead and reply to the List. Be aware that clicking the "reply" button on your mail package does not necessarily send your response to the original poster. You might have to actively address your response with the original poster's email address. - DO NOT use the List to respond to a post unless you have something to add that is relevant and has a broad appeal. "Way to go!", "I agree", and "Congratulations" are all responses that are better sent to the original poster directly, rather than to the List at large. - When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you need to comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can truly contribute something valuable. - Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone polite and respectful. Don't make snide comments, personally attack other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously controversial issue. This will only cause a pointless debate that will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing. ------- [This is an automated posting.] ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 09:11:51 AM PST US From: "Denham, Bobby D." Subject: RE: TeamGrumman-List: Credit Card Fraud --> TeamGrumman-List message posted by: "Denham, Bobby D." Credit card fraud and identity theft is the fastest growing crime "ever". There is very little you can really do to fully protect your identity. There are so many ways in which thieves steal it. Gary's number could have been stolen from any number of sources not even remotely attached to Chief. That is why you need to keep accurate records and "always" shred everything. The computer and internet are wonderful inventions and open the entire world to us, including your identity. It is very very easy to steal identity. Law Enforcement agencies are overwhelmed with cases. They work less than two percent of all cases. It is difficult to identify the offenders as well as prosecute them. Many of them live in different states or even different countries. I wish I had better news but that's the reality. Bob Maybe I should use disguise my name and spell it backwards! -----Original Message----- From: Roger Roy [mailto:Savannah174@msn.com] Subject: Re: TeamGrumman-List: Credit Card Fraud --> TeamGrumman-List message posted by: "Roger Roy" Gary, This whole thing and tread about your credit card is starting to cause me losing sleep, I think I'll discuss this with my CC Co. and see if there is some magic bullet that can be put in place for protection should this happen to me, thanks for bringing this problem to the forefront Roger J.

Just by luck. The other day I received a box of 5 DVDs from Columbia House. When I called them, I learned that I had ordered (though the internet) the DVDs a week or so earlier and used my credit card. As is their policy, they always ship to the billing address on the credit card. They cancelled all remaining orders and I sent back the DVDs they sent. Then, I called the Credit Card compnay and told them what happened. The card was also used to order from PC Treasures. They were closed when I called them. I'll try again on Monday and find out where the stuff was sent. I'll let you know when happens next, Gary ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 10:04:19 AM PST US From: TeamGrumman@aol.com Subject: Re: TeamGrumman-List: Credit Card Fraud --> TeamGrumman-List message posted by: TeamGrumman@aol.com In a message dated 02/02/04 09:18:51 AM, BDDenham@lasd.org writes: > Credit card fraud and identity theft is the fastest growing crime "ever". > ...=A0 Gary's number could have been stolen from any number of sources not > even remotely attached to Chief.

Robert Zwalze 717 Alice Street Apt A Santa Barbara, CA 93101 (805) 560-1391 I would appreciate it if someone could post this to the Grumman Gang (I can receive GG posts on this screen name, I just can't post to the GG on this screen name) just so more people are aware of who this joker is and maybe=20someone will be in a position to at least slow this guy down.

If you just accept 'no' then they're off the hook. Ask them if there's a law on the books that they're not enforcing etc. Do the same at your State Attorney's office. You may have to think up more embarassing questions to ask. Linn Oh yeah, you could always slip someone a grand and .......

I did a reverse lookup on the phone number and this is what I got. Robert=A0Zwalve 717 Olive St Santa Barbara, CA 93101-1545 805-560-1391 MION@benhad.com Seems he gave the folks a PC Treasures a fake address. I'm going to try some other lookups. ------------- Sandra Jimenez 717 Olive St Santa Barbara, CA 93101-1545 805-962-2446 Interesting. Not even the same name or phone number ------------ Looking up on another site shows both Robert and Sandra are at that address. They probably scam a lot of credit cards. Can't be cheap to live in Santa Barbara.
