So much of this is information can be obtained when one opens an account at a department store or any charge account, plus I was told that some business's sell our information, and our SS# was used by our medical insurance company as identification purpose

big time

's Have you ever questioned how quickly a car dealership after obtaining your information can come back and ok a sale on a vehicle? They and other business's have quick access to our information. So does everyone else, at a price to pay.
I inquired about this long time ago, anymore we refuse to give any more information out than we have to. There is another site on the net on obituaries, and one can look up and find names there of relatives or anyone they know that has passed on it gives there age/birthdate/residence

all of this shouldn't be availeable. I don't think there really has ever been any laws that protect our information when we have given it out.
