ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 02/15/10 **BLIND ITEM**
pusss...@aol.com
This member of a singing family has not always made as much money as
he is making right now. He is probably the most famous of the
remaining brothers. Anyway, since he has always tried to dodge
creditors he has all his bank accounts and credit cards in his wife's
name. Apparently the whole asking for i.d. when using a credit card
doesn't apply to this guy. Nothing has his name on it.

Go to Tennessee, particularly Nashville. You'll start wearing your
passport around your neck, in self-defense.
It's actually a law in some places, and in others, the CC companies
require it.

Then you've never been to Vegas. If you use a credit or debit card for
anything, you've got to show ID.
When I was a cashier at Meijer's in Louisville, the rule was any purchase
over $100 after 10pm with credit or debit card had to be accomiped with ID.
Which got me in trouble when this Asian gentleman came through my lane with
a Nintendo Game Boy Advance (which was over $100 at the time), I asked for
ID and he went off on me, calling me everything but the son of a holy man.
I was a racists for dare asking a Asian man for ID, I thought he was a
thief, I needed to be fired, blah, blah, blah! A manager came over to try
to calm him down. I told him, if the freaking pope came through my lane
with a purchase over $100 and used a credit card, I'd ask for a ID. And I
told him, that if the worst thing to happen to him today was some scrub
asking him for a ID, he's got a pretty good life. That got me kicked out
of the store for the rest of the night. I was written up.

Actually, every major credit card with the exception of Discover
specifically does _not_ require it, and in some states, requiring ID to
shown for the purpose of recorded information from it is illegal. If the
card is presented in person and the card company authorizes the
transaction, the merchant is covered even if the transaction turns out
to be fraudulent, so the merchant has no reason to require ID to be
shown. Merchants are _not_ covered in transactions where the card is not
personally presented, such as phone, internet, or fax transactions.
That's why the security number on the back of the card is requested, as
another layer of protection against possible fraudulent transactions.

But the card being in his wife's name might raise suspicions unless
the salespeople always recognize who he is.

As a NYer I have never been asked to show ID for a credit card, but
during a recent trip to FL I was asked evrywhere, for any amount.

I 'make' them look at mine LOL since my friend had her wallet stolen
and the thief wrote checks and used credit cards all over town with no
one ever asking him for ID. I figure it is one more layer of
protection for me, albeit a thin layer, if they start asking people
for ID.

It's written on my mom's credit card to ask for ID for everything short of a
POS transaction. She just gets out her drivers license with her card.

If the singing on his website is his "showcase", I understand why
he's "behind the scenes"
Painful.

You should authorize the local police to monitor your telephone calls
also. It will afford some security.
