Default Capitol one - do not trust them

Ok, so get this. Capitol one is mining FACEBOOK.COM for your data.

--they then cross reference it with the credit bourgeois and feed the skip-trace data to collection agencies operated on the behalf of --you guessed it -- capitol one. -

How do I know this >?. -I was contacted ( at home --today 12-24) by one of the said agencies and was asked if I knew "So-n-So" (who is one of my best friends sisters, and asked for her under her married name. -) So the only place I am connected to her is --you guessed it , Facebook.

so here is the multi dimensional evil. - Facebook is selling your name, and / or Capitol one is sponsoring a Facebook game and getting access to your info on a friends "list" -- then using some name matching and grooming through the credit bourgeois contacting 3rd parties for your issue., or contacting you for information on someone else.

I really dont think privacy settings matter a F in this scenario.

How do I know they are doing this, >?

-- we did similar things when I worked for US Bank Corp in the early 90's. -- except they were done with files manually.

We would look at your name and address and cross ref by phone, street stores in the area etc.

Capitol One is not your friend. -



ahh I feel better.
