Important Notice about Your X.com Finance Account

Please close your FWNB account by following the instructions at https://secure.finance.x.com/account_closure.asp. Accounts not closed by December 1, 2000, will be closed by us on that date and the balance mailed by check to the most recent address that you have provided.

Effective November 20, 2000, we will no longer accept deposits to your account, including wire transfers. Please be sure to cancel any direct deposits or automatic electronic funds withdrawals you may have attached to your account prior to that date. After December 1, 2000, no items presented for payment will be accepted, including checks, electronic funds transfer requests and debit card transactions.

Any Certificates of Deposit (CDs) will be redeemed and credited to your account on or before December 1, with full interest through maturity.

Please be aware that repayment obligations under outstanding Lines of Credit are unaffected by this action, and payments should continue to be made in accordance with the Overdraft Account Agreement at https://secure.finance.x.com/help_termsofuse.asp#lending. Additional information concerning procedures for future line of credit payments will be sent at a later date.

All of my many ($5.00) referrals for PayPal WILL NOT be credited to me. Why? Because now they claim you must have an premium account, in other words no free PayPal account. Doesn't matter that referrals were set up long ago. Anyone smell scam?
