  Recently I received a mail from a "Credit Card Service Bureau" (Courthouse
Square, 510 King Street, Alexandria Virginia 22314) offering me six
month credit card protection free of charge, no obligation of any kind.
When my credit cards do get lost, I can call a tool free number from anywhere
in the world. The offer even come with a free gift (a calculater key chain).
It sounds too good to be true to me. I don't understand how they can
make a profit out of this deal, except perhaps by saling my credit card number
to someone else. Any one has experience with this?
