The Internet is a wonderful tool, but what is used for good can also be used for bad. This story from MSNBC revealed that key personal data for HUNDREDS of people were recently shared in an Internet chat room. With this information, a criminal had everything they needed to open a bank account, apply for a credit card or worse!
What do YOU do to protect your personal data?

Those are the 2 words uppermost in my mind when using credit/charge cards. I will not purchase on the internet unless I can establish a line of credit via another method, eg. phone, mail, bank to bank and for a single transaction only.
When making purchases using those cards I alway ask for and get the carbon which was between the 2 documents when swiped ( Ever seen a garbage bin full of carbons? frightening ) the garbage remains outside the stores for up to 7 days.Identity theft?
Take mine, give me a persona I could be proud of, hell I need a lil excitement in my life. It sux at the best of times, this may well be our salvation. How can I spend a million bucks I never had? allow your identity to be stolen and send the smart assed commercial government a message……….. ‘you aint buying.’Edited by – rhiannon on 08/29/2001 12:50:24 PM
