Just for fun, some puzzling facts... Let me start with usabanc.com... From networksolutions.com, you get: \| \| \| Registrant: USA Banc Shares Inc. (USABANC-DOM) One Penn Square Philadelphia, PA 19102 Usa Domain Name: USABANC.COM Administrative Contact, Technical Contact, Zone Contact: Rankin, Travis D (MDR) trankin@DOVERCHEM.COM 740-922-0322 (FAX) 330-364-9634 Billing Contact: Smith, Amy (AS4503) dns@WBS.COM 215-569-4200 (FAX) 215-569-4214 Record last updated on 20-Oct-97. Record created on 18-Jul-97. Database last updated on 17-Apr-99 11:50:03 EDT. \| \| \| Now, let's wonder who is Travis Rankin... From networksolutions.com, you get: \| \| \| Rankin, Travis (TR5442) trankin@DOVERCHEM.COM DELLERGO Import & Export 6577 Moravian Trail SE Uhrichsville, OH 44683 740-922-0322 (FAX) 330-364-9634 Record last updated on 08-Jan-99. Database last updated on 17-Apr-99 11:50:03 EDT. \| \| \| 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 1 RTRBONE.NET.CMU.EDU 2 nss5-gp.psc.net 3 atm0-0-3.pit-bb1.cerf.net 4 fe9-0-0.pit-bb2.cerf.net 5 h5-0-0.phl-bb1.cerf.net 6 pos6-1-155M.phl-bb2.cerf.net 7 pos4-0-0-155M.nj-bb1.cerf.net 8 peer-1-fddi-0-0.sprintnap.idt.net 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? __________ Champolion
