Information Security & your credit report

Folks, you've got to watch youselves on sending information over the Internet...by fax, whatever. One social security number could screw up your entire life. A loan prospect just emailed me for the first time ever. He's a referral from a past client from three years ago....totally out of the woodwork. (Thanks for the referral Don!). Anyway, this new prospect emails me his bank statements, Social, paychecks and W2s on the very first email. Kinda chilling. All this information, basically Blindly send to me without any previous contact. I've got his name, address, social, DOB, where he works, the hours he works, all his personal banking and savings info. Imagine if this email landed up somewhere else by accident. So, make sure you've got a relationship/rapport before you send you life over the Net. Pat Townsley, Broker and associate Crime fighter. www.PTRE.net
