Steve, _that_ is a bunch of crap. A credit-card clearinghouse does
*NOT* have any of that kind of information. All they have is
transaction data. No "personal" data, no SSN's, none of that. They
have the card number,. the transaction amount, maybe the 'security
code', or the mag-stripe code, or the digits (only) of the street
address and/or zip-code.
