This is a sample question from the unlimited database
of personal identification information (PII) which we are
collecting to ensure our ability to properly and uniquely
identify you.
You may recognize many of these questions
as ones to which you have readily provided the
answers to various financial institutions,
insurance companies, on-line businesses, etc.,
... and which they promptly shared, as they
told you they might, with their numerous
business partners and associates.*?
Social networking internet sites (Facebook, Twitter,
MySpace, LinkedIn, personal blogs, etc.) are increasingly
becoming an important source of data about you
... freely provided by your "friends," relatives,
neighbors, classmates, co-workers, and other
acquaintances.
*
Who promptly shared the information
with their business partners, who in turn,
shared the information . . . with their
business associates (like us).**
**
We were a customer of theirs when
we "acquired" the information.
