Identity Theft

Two posts in one day? Someone must be really angry? You bet I am.

So I use internet banking to check my balances and what-not (to see if my wh**e of an ex-wife has gotten her money yet.) No big deal it is quick and easy (that's what she said). On the main screen you type in you login name (it appears as *****) then you press enter and you type your password (again all *****). About a year ago it requires your password for each new screen you click into as a protection. No big deal, but annoying.

Now today I go on and it asks me to set up a new security feature called Security Shield. I get to select 3 of 5 questions it will ask me EVERY TIME I log in. Here are the questions to choose from:

1. What is the name of your mother's employer?
2. Where did you go on your honeymoon?
3. In what city were you born?
4. In what city do your paternal grandparents live?
5. What was your first job where you earned a paycheck?
6. What is your most memorable promotion?
7. What was your favorite sport to play in college?
8. What is your greatest phobia or fear?
9. What is the name of the street on which you grew up?
10. In what city does your mother live?



What kind of questions are those some of them will have the same answers (what city were you born in, what city do your grandparents live in, what city does your mopther live in. Some questions might have no answer from people (where did you have your honeymoon, what is your greatest fear, what was your mother's employer, what was your greatest promotion). I am sitting here with no idea which questions to answer so that I will always remember my answer, also seeing that spelling and capitilazation would count. This is ridiculous.

UPDATE: It turns out there was a click to see 10 more questions if you didn't like those. Take a look at these, I am not sure if they are any better. Most of them are almost the same.

11. What year was your mother born?
12. What is your paternal grandfather's first name?
13. What is the last name of your veterinarian?
14. What year was your eldest child born?
15. What was the first car you owned?
16. In what city do your maternal grandparents live?
17. What is the name of your first pet?
18. What is your weight on your driver's license? (# of pounds)
19. What date did you get married?
20. What year was your father born?
