happy birthday to those of you near to your birthdays!

I just had a phone call that proved the value of putting false personal information out on the web - which includes my lack fo the correct birth date on this forum.

A woman called about a credit card debt that does not exist and wanted more personal information. The fake information on the web is part of the information she read back to me from my supposed "credit report".

So it pays to publish wrong information when the real information is not really necessary!

I am so very sorry you were picked by one of those criminals, in-deed so. It appears you have handled with good results this person.

Hopefully the lady will simply become lost in the void...
