@ Neil S -- Re: Wrong

It is funny in many (funny = scary) how information is passed around. I recently had need to log on to UPS (United Parcel Service) which meant "open an account". Instead of my filling in the blanks as I remembered things or wanted to put in... they were asking questions from 20 years ago AND telling me if I got the answer wrong. Needless to say, I didn't open the account, I called instead and quickly rectified the issue. If they are getting wrong data, let 'em have it. The scary part is, what if they were getting it right? Where did it come from? Who else has access to this?

Do I have anything to hide? Just my identity as far as financials go. Do I have anything to fear? You bet. There's already too much out there. I realize it's not "am I going to be a victim?" but rather "when am I going to be a victim?".
