How do you verify if that site is legit? These days I suspect everything and everyone.

I too have become very paranoid of late - to the level I bought a shreader to mash up my reciepts or anything with my name and address on it.
Probably an interesting site - but do you have to enter your details into it. If so how do you know they are only going to use it to check that other companies have not got them?

There was some talk recently about security problems with internet explorer. I'm not sure if that was the problem or not, but someone got my wife's debit card number. There was a charge of $36.19 that we didn't use the card for. A trip to the bank, and a call by customer service found that it was charged...06-03-2002, 11:07 AM

I just received this is e-mail, and I don't know if it's true or not, but it is good advice either way.
"Keep a watch out for people standing near you in the checkout line at retail stores, restaurants, grocery stores, etc., who have a camera cellphone in their hand. With these...11-08-2004, 09:32 AM -
