I hadn't thought of that (and I should have!). One wonders what, if any, safeguards the SSA has in place to deal with that potential abuse.<br /><br />Appreciate the feedback (and the tip to the site)!H G Sternhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09024546809016528222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10533897.post-1109244415523545142005-02-24T06:26:00.000-05:002005-02-24T06:26:00.000-05:00When I sent you the article and link I will admit ...When I sent you the article and link I will admit I didn't tour the site like you did. Apparently your curiousity for the morbid exceeds my own . . .<br /><br />After touring the site on my own, I can see the business application, especially for those in the collection business (not just "late" pays, anyone in accounts receivable). <br /><br />Looking through the Q&A, one of the questions asks about a "test drive" of the information. The response caught my eye . . .<br /><br />[You are able to buy one month of Internet access . . . these are the "trail" options.]<br /><br />OK, I have made errors myself in posting, and writing letters, etc. But I always wonder about someone who is marketing a product to the public. Does anyone proofread any more? Obviously spell checker indicated there was no problem in substituting trail for trial, but ya gotta wonder . . .<br /><br />One thought that did occur. It seems these folks provide information such as name and SS#. This makes me wonder . . .<br /><br />My understanding is that identity thieves will many times use the SS# of deceased individuals. I wonder if some criminal element may pony up the money to use this service for no good?<br /><br />Perhaps this is too much of a stretch but almost anything is possible I suppose.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
