Remember when you closed on your house? I remember being a little surprised when the attorney asked me to confirm my alias name. Fortunately I remembered that many years ago I had received a check that was made out improperly. I was able to deposit it to my account as long as I was willing to wait the ten days for it to clear. Yes, I did use that alias and yes, the check cleared but years later "they" still knew.
I'm not sure who "they" are. I'm thinking "they" are the same as "everybody else's mother" but I do know that there are times this works to my advantage. There was the time that my credit card company had placed a hold on my account because I used the card for an unusual purchase. It wasn't convenient to call the company and confirm that I had bought gas and used their card but "they" noticed. Good catch, "They"!
Facebook, Microsoft, and Google are all on the list of place that tapped into their user's communications. It raises questions but you need to be aware that this happens and it has been happening for some time. Remember you read it here and be sure to be nice, polite, and well behaved!
