Confirmed here.  In fact, I noticed the other day that all of the credit card
receipts I've received in the past couple of weeks were like this - even the one
from the gas pump.  My ATM receipts say the same thing.  I also just ordered
something from an on-line company, and they use the same scheme on their order
confirmation E-Mails.

Actually, it makes sense.  I know lots of people with three or four Visa cards,
all of which have the same first four digits.
