[nabs-l] Roommate

[Peter Donahue]

Hello Dianne and everyone,

    I didn't catch the bit about the confirmation and CC numbers when I read 
her message yesterday. Her plea for a room in the Shingle Creek has all the 
makings of a scam and definitely has the red flags flying! No one needs to 
be taken advantage of or scammed in this way. All the best.

Peter Donahue

I also was questioning this Peter.
Why are the last 4 digits of a credit card number needed?
If I say Jane Doe can stay with me, that's that, no cc number needed...
