Basically, NO COMPANY WILL ASK YOU VIA EMAIL FOR THIS INFORMATION. If they think there is a security issue, they will be ON THE PHONE, or better, IN WRITING VIA SNAIL MAIL.

Want to have fun? Go to the site in question and fill in BS info. Lots of it. Fill in the form 25 times. Give them 25 semi valid made up names, fake addresses, etc. Give them the whole load.

If enough people do that, their data will be useless.

anyhoo, thanks Jim, your tip couldnt have been more timely
