When you don't have a card, you know it's a hoax.

Oddly enough, if I don't use my bank card as a credit card in the billing cycle, I get charged fo

Debit card. They've got the credit card logo on them, so they
can be used anywhere a credit card can be used.
I used to send a card and gift card to my direct supervisor, but that's it. sm
She was the only one who knew me as more than an employee number, and the only one I had any respect for.
Oh you should report that to Chase and to
Reeks of fraud.
Chase - Reported It - sm
Guess where the call was answered? India. Chase, just like all the other wonderful companies in the U.S., has telephone operators in India fielding the calls. She did nothing - told me it was a fraud, etc., and to ignore the emails. I get 3-4 of these every day. Now I'm deleting them. However, I informed the Indian representative answering Chase's calls that this is one bank I will NEVER bank with, due to offshoring! Off my soapbox now... I think!
Chase using India too?

No hoax
I have seen it twice on Fox news on t.v., the official one out of New York. They said they are getting bombarded with phone calls about the number being wrong for that guy.
This is a hoax
Go to Snopes.com.
If you think this is a hoax....
You are sadly mistaken. Do you really think Acusis would notify everyone at once??? They arent stupid. This would mean a lot of the MTs and editors would quit...and then who would work on the accounts that aren't allowed to be sent to India. Just be prepared...your call will come. Then come back and see who will get the last laugh....I can guarantee you...it's going to be Acusis.
No, just want to cut to the chase and avoid tne empty posts. nm

Sorry to tell you but that's an internet hoax. sm
I was excited about it too and then found it was a hoax.
that's where I saw the hoax report, too

This is NOT true - it IS a hoax

Yep. That's exactly what I was trying to experess; it's a HOAX.
.
Didn't sound like a hoax to me
I called the 888 toll-free number and it WAS the National Do Not Call Registry. I do not find this to be a hoax! I will be asking all my friends and family to do this.
Thanks for the tip!
Hoax junk mail
I finally stopped getting these disgusting e-mails. I e-mailed back with big red letters - "F.... you! This e-mail is forwarded to the FBI, Homeland Security, Interpol, and you are being traced as we speak." I never received another one again.
We got the same email a couple of days ago -- DH called Chase and reported it and they said that it
was a huge problem for them right now as these people obviously have no affiliation with Chase.
I wear wrist bands made by Chase Ergonomics, Inc. (sm)
They were given to me from a friend. He got them from work. I also wear a Smart Glove at night. It has a brace on the top of the glove and beaded cushioning on the palm.
I also have a kinesis keyboard but haven't used it much yet. Too busy working to practice with it.
You can probably find all the above on ebay. That's where I found both the gloves and the keyboard.
Please check Snopes before posting. This is a hoax & has been out for a while now.

Hoax about plastics/cancer and freezing water.........

I'd ask the local authorities to tell the MTSO to stop sending THEM on a wild goose chase! NM

Has anyone disconnected the internal sound card and replace with another sound card?
I am having problems with my sound on one of my computers. Several different ExText program have been on it so I don't think it is the program and the sound is just now as clear as on my other computer. Has anyone switched (disconnected the internal sound care and replaced) to a new sound card? Did it make a difference.
Everyone on this board is so knowledgeable, I really appreciate you. You have helped me many times.
I knew him well before I asked him out, so I knew
a long time before our first date that he was the one for me. He didn't know it that soon, but I did.
No credit card is a good credit card.
Just kidding. I'd suggest not using credit cards to pay debts. It'll only dig you in deeper. Look into a signature loan or putting a lien against a vehicle or house. Lower interest rate, pay off sooner.
I knew it had to be you! - sm
Sorry you are having trouble and I hope it is fixed soon! Don't work too hard!
Of course she knew that (sm)
She obviously hasn't had her own medication today.
What about it? We already knew about that..
huh?
See? You knew someone would ask... sm
I try to be concise too, but sometimes you just gotta throw it all in there.
Your reasons are totally justified and I figured they were just by the tone of your post, but for future reference we need ALL THE FACTS!! LOL
Have fun, sweetie!
I knew almost right away
I'd say it was at the very early stages of our relationship that I started to realize that i could marry him.. then I kept telling myself "what are you nutz? you barely know this guy! stop thinking that!! LOL
But now looking back, there was some kind of "special spark" that was there & that was unique from any other experience. We both remember when we first (very briefly) met. We didnt actually start talking and getting to know each other until about 5 months after that. Then when we started talking/dating, it was like we had known each other for yrs, we were just immediately comfortable with each other & had this "chemistry".
it was great, it still is great, i hope it stays great!! 
Wish I knew

Um, I knew when I was 5.
and no one did a thing to me. Gosh, there goes your theory! Sorry 'bout that.
I knew there was something about the IBM M15

Maybe the folks at Clickykeyboards.com could give you some leads on where to get it repaired, if not the other site I posted above.
Once again, good luck! 
I knew it!!!
I "frickin" knew you meant that how I took it! Yay! Another fan! Got my laugh for the night! Thanks!
If you knew then what you know now....
I've been an MT now for almost 10 years. I don't know about you but I didn't really give MT a lot of thought before I decided to get into this business. It seemed like a good way to go with my typing skills and interest in the medical field. Plus it sort of "fell into my lap" with an opportunity that was too good to pass up. So I plunged in and starting learning what I needed to get started and took it from there. Wow, what a long journey and I'm still learning new things all the time. Looking back I really don't think I would have gone into this field had I known all the blood, sweat and tears required just in order to get started, not to mention even now keeping things going day to day. I am honestly glad I did stick with it because it has worked very well for my family situation over the years. Some days I am fed up with it but it has so many other benefits that outweigh the negatives. So, I keep sticking with it and keep going day to day. How about you? If you knew then how hard it would be would you have run the other way? I know I probably would have but I am glad I didn't have a clue and kept plugging away.
Wow! I never knew that, though we have
spoken many times. I had no idea you - disallowed - offshore MTs to post here? That is really sad to me, but I'm glad I know now. Your 100% right as owner of the board, but also my choice to now not be a part of something like that. Thanks for sharing. 
WOW - I never knew that

thanks - I already knew that....*L*...sm
but because of what you said, I went back in to windows update and told it to let me know when they are available and not to download or install them until I say it's okay.
oh well, looky looky - Windows update is trying to install IE7 - so you're incorrect I do believe:

I knew right away because I keep
my TV on (in another room) and just happened to be getting a drink of water when the first one hit. I immediately called the hospital I work for and they told me to keep them informed. Well, I could barely tear myself away from the TV that day. Thank heavens, my hospital was very understanding. I reported every time something happened which, on that day, was about every half hour.
I also had scanners in my office and would inform the hospital MTs when the ER was diverting patients, or if there was a bad accident or fire, so they would get a heads up for STAT work coming their way. It worked out well.
I couldn't work without noise of some type. With the job I have now, I only have the TV on but not the scanners anymore. I listen to the traffic reports as my husband works 60 miles away and needs that info if traffic is tied up on his route to or from work.
I knew somebody who
went to a dermatologist for it. The dermatologist gave her injections into the scalp. I believe it was prednisone or something like that.
I remember going to school with somebody who had a patch on the side of his head that he'd had since he was very little. It didn't show as long as he didn't get his hair cut short.
Yes, I knew that because
I have searched for medical-related terms before and got responses from where someone else had asked the same thing on here!
Never knew that.
That set-up sounds so simple and cost-effective as well. I didn't know you used steno pads. The carbon paper would terrify me, though!
I knew it!!!!
So really, the only GOOD JOBS out there are for Newbies or Indians!!!!
Great. 
I have learned something!! I never knew this was possible!
I've always thought liquids damaged/ruined keyboards, but I guess I was wrong. What a good idea you all have!!
Wow, I never knew that existed!
At least you were spared 35 or more years of that "monthly" stuff!!!
This is exactly when I knew it was time to
I found myself losing my social skills and having nothing to talk about to my husband when he got home.
Time to move on and be back in society. I'm much happier and feel like an interesting conversationalist again.
Wish I knew what company this is (sm)
Only because I'm applying to several different companies and would love to avoid the situation you describe. Sometimes criticisms can be subjective, but the thing about the faxes is a big red flag to me. Worked for a company like that very briefly once. I quit and put my fax machine in the attic. My email is here if you feel comfortable sharing that way. If not, I will definitely be sure to avoid any company that requires a fax machine (was planning on doing that anyway, though). Good luck and sorry you're having such a hard time.
wish I knew where to go to make
more $$$ than my female counterparts. I have been doing this for 20 years and would still be making the same as when I started, except I am much faster now and work fewer hours. 
I knew I could count on you all...sm
to help me think this through! The dust blowing around getting in the computer does scare me a little.
I'd love to try this once, but I don't even have a laptop (LOL!), but just wondered if that would help put me a step towards being outdoors. Guess not, realistically. I guess I'll just take in another stray dog.
I had one job a few years ago where I could take a break whenever (no set hours) and go outside and pull weeds. I used to love that!
Thanks for your comments.
I knew a woman...
who had 2 back-to-back MT jobs going from one hospital to another. She usually looked half dead by the time I saw her at her 2nd job, but was getting paid hourly, so I doubt she was too productive at job #2. Somehow she managed to show up every day though.
