[Nfbmt] security news about NFB’s 2015 convention

[James Aldrich]

Hi all,

The same can be said for my credit card company as well.  Luckily, the 
party attempting to use my card made a very small purchase or attempted 
to do so.  I guess if one were to do this, a trial balloon had to be 
tried to see if it would work.  Luckily, they were on it and the card 
was changed.  I would say the problem was solved quickly!
