I forwarded it to DH (that's not dear this time!) and asked him to call MSN and find out if it was a fraud. He filled it out, submitted it (with our cc info) and THEN called MSN. It IS a fraud. We had to cancel our credit card and they are alerting the government. WHY DIDN"T HE LISTEN TO ME! He feels REALLY guilty..... GRRRRRRR!

Anyhow, watch out for this one! It almost got us!
