Logging in to your old, CH account

At http://www.columbiahouse.com/webdvd (instead of columbiahouse.com), one
can log into an old, cancelled account.

I'm trying hard to think of why one might want to do that. I'm
failing.

Maybe you forgot what titles they shipped to you?

With online credit card access, you can log into your previous credit
card number in order to print out statements.

Still, I can't see any reason to review an old Columbia House account.

Some enrollment codes require a PSN (old account number, or a current active
one).

This may be an internet 'phishing' scam designed to get credit card
numbers or account info...be careful people.

What? I think you misunderstood. I found out about this here
http://www.dvdtalk.com/forum/showthr...hreadid=349222

It is not a scam since it is at columbiahouse's site. It is the same address
you can log into to get a $5 discount ($30 + )for the first online order
(the /webdvd after columbiahouse.com) for a particular account. The
www.columbiahouse.com/webdvd address is on a legit coupon directly from
Columbia House!!! (I have one from being mailed with my enrollment invoice)
I was just saying some enrollment codes which you can use and can apply for
directly at their site (just www.columbiahouse.com) require a PSN. It can be
helpful if you want to sign up for a new account and have trouble locating
your old account numbers, that is if you registered a username for one.

Thats exactly what phishing is. It can look like a real link, on a
real site but it directs to a totally different site but in the URL
box at the top of your browser, (IE.) it looks like a legit site (its
a known bug of IE) I'm just warning because the net is FULL of this
type of fraud. I work for an Internet Securities Firm and deal with
this everyday.

Just by you giving the link within your reponse can be suspect.
Please don't think I'm pointing blame at you but, everyone must be
cautious.

Peace
