Here in the US We have unlisted phone numbers, does that exist in the UK Annie? We also have a "Do not call list" too, some businesses are trying to find ways around that. Yep My number is on that too, My number started as a landline, later, I'm getting sleepy. Savoir-Faire is everywhere! The T1 Trust, T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, America's First HST |

Ah well, if they send you an invoice, you'd better dispute it in the correct way, or you will wind up at Kronofogden. You just can't refuse to pay, you have to do it the right way. I don't think it's a scam. And I will not get any invoices. And Kronofogden. I have always better relations with him than my bank:) And putting things not ordered by the customer in a mailbox and then request payment for it is illegal in Sweden. |

All: there are companies that exist for the sole purpose of aggregating data into dossiers on people. They scrape everything they can find and save it for later. So that birth announcement, it is in a database. That wedding announcement. That court order of divorce. Your bank records. Property ownership. Voter registration. There are hundreds of places they can and do obtain information. When you apply for a job, these data aggregators get a request for a background report, and bingo, they make money, oh and they save the request too because you might get hired. When you open a credit account, bingo they make money. They know more about you than you do yourself! |

I've been shopping online for the better part of a decade, I've suffered zero problems, of course I've had more problems with local banks revealing account numbers in their customer receipts, which I think I got Chase to stop doing, since I made the suggestion to a branch manager, and not long after that, the bank changed the display of account numbers, but then I was in Security, so they took Me seriously I think. In one area of LA County My family is known for Historical reasons, since My family owned an Auto Repair business, that became a car dealership that interacted with some clients from the Movie Studios, like nearby MGM Studios, My grandpa worked there once as a carpenter for a bit, when I don't know, He was also a Police Chief, since He had the contract to maintain and house the Culver City CA Police and Fire Department vehicles, an uncle that I never met was a Fire Chief, later grandpa was also a City Councilman too. The business is long gone, a hotel and parking lot occupies that land now at Irving Place and Washington Blvd, His original 1920 house and garage still exist of course, back then in 1920 Culver City looked a bit like Yermo, just not as hot in the summer. Culver City back then had concrete curbs and sidewalks, with dirt streets covered with some oil. The Auto Repair Garage also sold gasoline at a curbside gasoline pump, and yes there are pics online, two in fact, but then I put them there. One shows My paternal grandma and one shows My dad when He was a kid. Savoir-Faire is everywhere! The T1 Trust, T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, America's First HST |

Must not be a flight risk. And being with the wife has to be a punishment close to hard labor for him. LOL! |

I have a cousin that had no home or food. He robbed a bank for $50, then went outside and sat on a bench waiting for the police. In jail he had food and shelter. Steve Warning, addicted to SETI crunching! Crunching as a member of GPU Users Group. GPUUG Website |

Goodness me :/ I do hope things don't get violent. What would happen if they suddenly made up their differences and fell in love all over again? @Steve: that is so sad :( I hope things have improved for your cousin |

What would happen if they suddenly made up their differences and fell in love all over again? +1 I'm lucky, I have a roof over My head, a car to take Me to where I need to go to, the mobile home and car are thanks to My late aunt, and a cat for company who I love very much. Everything else, well that has been up to some friends and Me. Savoir-Faire is everywhere! The T1 Trust, T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, America's First HST |

Pig attacks farmer. Miguel Anaya Pablo, 60, allegedly decided to start fighting with his pig after a drunken night out in his home town of San Lucas Ojitlan. I would say yes. |

Some people are just gullible, they think nothing of something like this, heck identity theft isn't on some peoples radar, a relative of Mine is like that, She didn't think Her info was worth stealing, wrong, once they have enough info, someone can open a loan in Her name, then She'd get the bill, the thief would vanish with the money, and do this again, and again.
