    Why the Montreal Police? And what will an attorney be able to do? Besides
    show your absolute proof that JF issued the cmsg cancel. IMHO if you call
    the police for something this stupid they will charge the complaint for
    wasting their time. If I forge your name Anonymous Coward and charge to your
    credit card, that is indentity theft. But you have no identity other than
    Ball Less Coward.
