This came from another Brother.  I haven't had time to verify it yet, but
it looks legit.
>>Your name, social security number, current address, previous
>>addresses, mother's maiden name, birth date and other personal
>>information are now available to anyone with a credit card through a
>>new Lexis database called P-Trax.  As I am sure you are aware, this
>>information could be used to commit credit card fraud or otherwise allow
>>someone else to use your identity.
>>
>>You can have your name and information removed from this list by
>>making a telephone request.  Call (800)543-6862, select option 4 and
>>then option 3 ("all other questions") and tell the representative
>>answering
>>that you wish to remove your name from the P-trax database.  You may
>>also send a fax to (513) 865-7360, or physical mail to LEXIS-NEXIS / P.O.
>>Box 933 / Dayton, Ohio 45401-0933.  Sending physical mail to confirm
>>your name has been removed is always a good idea.
>>
>>As word of the existence of this database has spread on the net,
>>Lexis-Nexis has been inundated with calls, and has set up a special set of
>>operators to handle the volume.  In addition, Andrew Bleh (rhymes with
>>"Play") is a manager responsible for this product, and is the person to
>>whom complaints about the service could be directed.  He can be reached at
>>the above 800 number.  Ask for extension 3385.  According
>>to Lexis, the manager responsible is Bill Fister at extension 1364.
>>
>>
>>The representative will need your name and social security number to
>>remove you from the list.  I suggest that we inundate these people with
>>requests to remove your info from the list and forward this e-mail to
>>everyone you know.
>>
>>Call when you have the 5-10 minutes it takes to speak to the right person
