If we didn't have divulge all our personal information to do business then most of this could be prevented. For instance...I REFUSE to give any telephone company (cell phone company) my social number, driver's license number, etc. So in the end I can't get these convienences but at the same time can we trust these companies with this peronsal info. I think not.
Sorry this happened to you, but too many American's willing give up this info and look where it's gettting us!
