After all the trouble I have taken to keep my exact birthday PRIVATE...
(as in many medical situations it serves as a password & I have plenty medical issues)

...the Providence Voter Registrations folks have given it out to be posted on the internet for scammers to help themselves.

ARRRRGGGGGG!  There is no undoing this. Are they COMPLETE IDIOTS??? What rock do they live under, to not know about info privacy issues, or did someone pay them to do this.

BEYOND infuriating. Distressing.

Yes, these are the SAME folks who sent us paperwork before the last election, in envelopes with glassine windows, large enough to fully display our social security numbers next to our names.


That time I called up and the guy who answered the phone sounded at first surprised,  then embarrassed and resigned, as we discussed it.
Sounds like he already knew he was working with ding-dongs.

But WE are going to be the ones dealing with any identity theft consequences.


My name is unusual, so there are not a lot of competing listings, so it comes up immediately.  But try putting in your name w middle initial (or however you registered) maybe with the word "born" afterwards....   


ACK!!!!  Yes  probably if people dig enough they could still find legal name, address, birthday, etc...., but why make it easy??
