All right, Travis Rankin is somewhat related to "DELLERGO Import
& Export".
All right, Travis Rankin has an E-mail address at "DOVERCHEM.COM".
Let's check doverchem.com...
A chemical company...that's interesting...
Now, let's check doverchem.com.
At the very bottom of the page, "Dave Rankin"...
Well, I guess Travis D Rankin could be Travis David (Dave) Rankin...
Just to verify Travis Rankin really exists, let's check:
- bigyellow.switchboard.com
Wonderful, Mr. Rankin really exists, but now his name is Bruce Rankin.
Very interesting...let's summarize...
Travis D Rankin, administrative contact for USABANC.COM, related
to Dover Chemical Corporation, somewhat related to DELLERGO Import
& Export, also known as Bruce Rankin, and located in Ohio.
All this, obviously, makes perfect sense. ;-)
All right, let's check USABANC.COM's technical contact...
Amy has an E-mail address at WBS.COM...
Let's check wbs.com...
Fine, fine, fine, a Web company, no link to previous customers, no
portfolio...too bad.
Let's get a little bit vicious...
Let's use net.cmu.edu on
www.USABanc.com...
We get:
traceroute to usabanc.com

9 core-1-hssi-5.hck.idt.net
10 corp-6-eth-0-0.hck.idt.net
11 usabanc.com
All right, so, idt.net is usabanc.com's Web
hosting company.
Oops...enough...I know enough to have some doubts about the
credibility of this USAB.
Do you?
