It seems that your email address appears in plain text in your public profile here. A strange thing to do if you don't want spam. <confused>

ummm...its not illegal for a 17 year old to have a credit card. I have a credit card and a debit/atm card at two different banks and am only 17.
These companies have been sending out credit card spam to people as young as 12.

Hey don’t complain, back in 1965 a kid lied about his age and birth date because he wanted to win a bike from dairy queen,
He put the fake paper in a drawing box,
Three years later when he was 15 years old,
He got a draft notice from Uncle Sam,
With that fake birth date, | |

That's different, everyone knows Dairy Queen is a recruiting agent for the NSA.
