Then he wrote the info down on a piece of paper and handed it to them. I cannot recall the last time someone asked me for the full #'s VS the last 4 digits over the phone. Story doesn't pass the smell test for me.

This week our neighbor 4 houses down, who is retired IRS, mentioned how clear he could hear their conversations. We have ponds, and prairie behind houses, so sounds really can travel. Today he made a visit welcoming the two new neighbors.

Then politely gave each of them a paper with their social security numbers, and credit card numbers. They were shocked, their voices carried so far, and clearly that anyone could have written down their personal info during phone calls, they made in their lanai.

Fair warning, be careful while outside when giving out your info during a phone call, someone may not be so honest.

In addition, I find that those with the loudest, most annoying and most shrill voices live right next to a teeing ground when I'm hitting. :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

Perhaps why ID theft is so common. A doctor's office for example how many people have access to your personal information. Likely 100's
