There is no such creature as "POYTON Communications". (There IS a legit business called "Poynton Communications", however.) When you click on the website link, you get transferred to a site asking you to type your life away, and it even displays the Verisign logo on the main page. DO NOT GO THROUGH THIS SITE!!! They now have my financial information, as well as SSN. Dumb, dumb, dumb! I knew it sounded fishy!
