Thought this was a good source for those who seem to think it is legal to use alternate ID as their social security numbers. As we have all seen in the past, the criminal sells the product and rather then you being considered a victim, you become a criminal as well. http://www.ftc.gov/opa/1999/9902/consumerweek2.htm
I wish they would stop wasting time with these bottom fedder "NEW CREDIT FILE IN 30 DAYS" people and go for the big fish, namely CCB
Pity they didn't divulge the names of these companies. Its telling that they consistantly ONLY go after those promoting EIN or TIN methods, I have yet to seem them EVER touch a company promoting a "privacy" number. Demonstrates how gray the law really is.
Crooks Country Bank is really a 'small fry' in the banking business. On the other hand First (crooks) USA is one of the biggest. Better yet they should focus attention on all the crooked, lying, thieving collection agencies, but would really make my decade if they finally went after the true villans of the credit industry the CRA's.
