See the pessimist in my replies that it's cause more folks are 
anticipating their wealth and fortune being tied to some gross error of an 
employee of such and  institution granting them full access to some 
millions that appears to have laid dormant for a few years time.  I'n 
otherwords most folks have a bit of the take it and run ethics 
builtin...it explains to my mind quite well why the 911 scams never seem 
to be slowed in the slightest...

User education often runs counter to fighting human greed...


Of course, I have not fixed my speticles in about 10 years so the 
prescription through which I view the world is likely warped...


Thanks,
