Sorry, I got on my soap box and didn't really answer your question. It may very well be that even checking a balance can give the bad guys key information. Assuming you enter your UserID and password to get to the site and check your balance, if there is a middle man in the loop, or you are logging onto a bogus site you could compromise that userid and PW - and the bad guy could then log onto your account and do all sorts of nefarious things.

When logging on, look at the bottom left of your browser -- make sure the URL shown is the one you expect to see. For instance, if I log into my Pentagon Federal Credit Union account and the URL shows www.pefned.org instead of www.penfed.org, I know someone is diddling with me.

Am in Herndon, VA...just got here late this evening and have a meeting to go to in the morning before flying to Charleston tomorrow evening, so must sign off. Be glad to continue the discussion...this is really some scary $#!+. Send me an email.
