"My BS detector went off when I encountered some "application
form" that required a credit report and conveniently provided a link for
you to get one for a small but undisclosed fee. If you said you already
had one, none of the subsequent links worked."
I got those so much for a while that "Delete" on my delete key is nearly
wore off. If you are gullible enough to fill out one of those "application"
forms, you'll probably see your bank accounts depleted or your identity
stolen before your Enter key returns to its unpressed position.

without a destination, I figured, than to cross the wrong threshold each
day." (Sy Safransky)
