Yeah. Every once in a while, I hang out at a forum that is centered on travelling by vehicle in the USA: the Canadians always complain that since your zip codes include letters, you can't just enter your codes and pump your fuel (the keypads only contain numbers). You actually have to go in and deal with the cashier.

In some states, using a zip code has a been a regular thing for years. In WA, it's just starting to catch on. I guess widespread fraud has finally spread here.

So if you drive to the States, plan to spend a bit more time at the gas station than you used to.

In NC we have been doing it for quite a while.

I don't answer the phone anyway unless I know who it is.I just hope Hubby is smart enough to not do it.He shouldn't anyway since they are all in my name and he has no access to the accts except to use them.

Don't legitimate companies ask to verify your identity by asking you for the last four digits of your SS#?
