Thank you very much. Man, that is some great inside information you have provided. I guess I was so naive in thinking that security was the name of the game and no one was to blame.

Thanks again,

Tony

Well sports fans I have an interesting tale to tell. Like the majority of folks, I take care of my financial obligations online. Yesterday I received a notice from my email folks that I have a payment due on this particular credit card. The plot now thickens. The notice not only told me which credit card company I do business with, but also included the due date, the dollar amount and the ACCOUNT NUMBER. Well this really lit a flame under me sit down, and I immediately got on the horn and contacted my credit card company and they were more flabbergasted than myself. It turns out the email folks have a calendar feature that extrapolates all of this information when the company sends my statement via email. Then this information is posted to their calendar and is used to inform me when my payment is due. Well, (Dumbasses) that is what the credit company does when it sends notices with the statement and the due date.

The credit card company put me on hold for a couple of minutes and when they returned, they advised me to give them a different email address so that there will be no way that my email provider can ascertain this VERY PRIVATE FINANCIAL INFORMATION. Come to think of it, this is not the only credit card company I use which means that the email provider also has access to my other credit card obligations. It is just mind boggling that with all of the security precautions taken on the Internet and the billions of dollars spent on avoiding this sort of situation i,e., User Ids, Passwords, Your mother's maiden name, the name of your first car and how many hickies did give during your eight years in High School? My friends, BE AWARE, Big Brother is out to pick your pocket.


Thanks for reading and you can bet your last credit card balance that all of my financial information will now become UNAVAILABLE to all my email friends.

Cheers,

Tony
