I've Got Your Info
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Every day you go about your business, working, going to school,
|
|
taking care of kids, lounging around, whatever. The whole time you do
|
|
this, you are losing money that is rightfully yours, but is ending up
|
|
in other people's hands. Basic pieces of information about you are sold
|
|
each day to different companies.
|
|
|
|
Your Name
|
|
Your Social Security #
|
|
Your Phone Number
|
|
|
|
Typically, there is more information like your address, age,
|
|
gender, etc. That information is contained in hundreds (probably thousands)
|
|
of databases around the world. Each day, more and more telemarketing
|
|
companies buy those databases from other companies. These are then used
|
|
as 'leads' for potential sales and harassment from sales people.
|
|
|
|
Here is the chain:
|
|
Company 1 sells YOUR info to Company 2.
|
|
Company 2 calls you and tries to sell you shit.
|
|
Company 2 sells a little, goes through the whole database.
|
|
Company 2 sells YOUR info to Company 3.
|
|
The chain continues...
|
|
|
|
The whole time, they are making money from YOUR info. Fair?
|
|
Of course not. Here is where I usually try to suggest something to do
|
|
about the problem.. except I can't suggest shit in this case. Once your
|
|
info is out there, you are fucked. Each day another company will make
|
|
money as you get harassed.
|
|
First thing you can do, if someone calls and tries to sell you
|
|
something, ask them where they got your name. Be hostile, YOU'RE the customer
|
|
after all. Tell them to remove you from the database and to never call you
|
|
again. If they do (the same company), that is legitimate reason to
|
|
complain about harassment. Play the 'Lemme talk to your manager' game.
|
|
Keep talking to 'your manager' until you get to talk to someone who actually
|
|
has some power. I don't know what current laws regarding this are, but
|
|
if you ask/tell them to remove YOUR information, I would imagine they have
|
|
to by law. Of course, with the current fucked up legal system, that may
|
|
be totally wrong.
|
|
|
|
Apparently, there is a single master database full of info. No
|
|
doubt a government controlled computer somewhere, that contains full info
|
|
on anyone registered to vote, drive, breathe, or whatnot. This contains
|
|
basically everything, from name/age/birthdate, to how many kids you have,
|
|
travel history, etc. Ever wonder how baby products/flyers/coupons show
|
|
up in the mail of families that just had a baby? People are paid to sit
|
|
there and add to this database, utilizing information from any one of
|
|
a hundred sources. From this master database, other companies can do
|
|
searches for certain information. They can pull everyone who in the
|
|
past 2 years took a cruise to Tahiti, between the ages of 25 and 27.
|
|
Scary shit. Idea: Remove yourself from THIS database. Thing is, who owns
|
|
it? Who do you call? Where do you write to? If people knew that, then
|
|
you wouldn't be getting junk mail anymore.
|
|
|
|
Currently the IRS is working on a system that will contain not
|
|
only your full info, personal details, but your full financial info. When
|
|
I say financial info, I am not talking 'reported income in one year'. I
|
|
am talking about how many hours you work, what you get paid, average
|
|
expenditures, average donations to charity, etc. The idea here is, the IRS
|
|
would like to go to a system where THEY calculate your taxes, not you
|
|
the citizen. How would that be for a Big Brother environment? As you may
|
|
have guessed, they are currently suffering from some legal problems in
|
|
instituting this system.
|
|
|
|
What is the worse case scenario? Ask 'Jim Phelps'. 'Jim Phelps'
|
|
was the handle used by a 303 BBSer. He picked that handle because he liked
|
|
the name, and it sounded real enough so people would think it was his real
|
|
name. He only used this on BBSs in the 303 area, none of which he had to
|
|
pay for access. After a year or so of using that handle, he one day started
|
|
receiving junk mail under that name. You tell me how they got his address
|
|
to go with it...
