    The message claims that due to a "recent system flush," the customer's billing and personal information is "temporaly unavailable" (sic).

    Con men live everywhere, some countries are worse than others. One of the reasons I have never purchased iuVCR is that I am afraid to send my credit card info or a check to Russia
    Now if he would accept Pay-Pal, maybe I'd bite!

    Of course, Moviegeek, you do remember the Monster.com incident, right? (I think it was monster.com, I'll have to check that...)

    A man was contacted by a "business" via monster.com and gave all of his personal information to them, believing it was for his job application. Turns out the business was a scam and he ended up the victim of identity theft...
