Protect Your Privacy

Since everyone who has your confidential information claims to do this, you would expect them to actually do it. On the other hand, look at what they actually do. For example, banks and credit card companies sell or rent your information to “trusted affiliates.” Frequently, becoming a “trusted affiliate” means having money to buy the list. Certainly, some websites are quite lax with security measures. Without a doubt, you should take steps to protect your privacy. In fact, a great first step is going to the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse for information. And please, don’t give out your information to strangers – on the web, phone, or in person.

Following is a transcript

of a person who wants confidential information and a lazy tech support person. As is my policy, I have changed the names to protect the guilty. Any resemblance to real life situations is purely happenstance. Or is it? Maybe a little bit of both. I hope you enjoy my goofy attempt at geek humor.   I welcome you to express your opinions and share your frustrating experiences in the comments below.  If you enjoyed this post, please feel free to share it with others. Thank you for stopping by.  Craig Herberg
