Data theft, identity theft, fraud
they're all running rampant
This is the age where a colour photocopier can reproduce money realistically
and we still trust little scribbles on paper
Any document, checks included
where a signature is used to sign some kind of authority over
should be required by law to have a photo of the signer signing the document
little webcams are cheap
Banks should be made to conform to the law
that says they must cash Government checks
without a waiting period
Money mart can do it
The federal gov't needs to make it impossible to forge an authorization
A SIGNATURE DOESN"T CUT IT ANYMORE!!!!
We see it every day
a few hours of practice
and someone can get close enough
because banks don't even check the signature anymore
make financial institutions responsible for immediate verification
they're making billions in profit
and now they want bailouts
make them invest in true security
of private information
Government privacy laws are being avoided and gotten around
on an unprecendented basis
through private contracted firms giving us "service"
handling our private information
without the controls or security
that government offices have to follow.
Minimum wage clerks
with access to massive databanks of private information
slip them some money
and wait for their phone call
to tell you want you can't get
by calling a bank
multitudes of poor clerks
with access to everything about you
and you don't have a "choice"
if you want to recieve the subcontracted government "service"
we need comprehensive protection of our privacy
and comprehensive protection of our identity verification process
This is the 21st century
and Canadians are losing almost half a TRILLION dollars a year
because we still rely
on a fucking SCRIBBLE!!!!
