[QUOTE="donna723, post: 26943, member: 1883"] I think Wal Mart [i]IS[/i] the new "Big Brother"! [img]:wink:[/img] It could be that the first PIN she selected, the last four digits of her SSN, had already been used by someone else, so it wouldn't take it. I don't know how it came up with all the other information though, especially the cell phone number! I know that when my son was hired for a new job, they ran his numbers through one of the credit bureaus and came up with practically his whole life story! Unfortunately, that's how we found out that his dad had apparently "borrowed" his SSN a few times to run up some bills that he never paid, and it came up with half of his fathers life story too!! [img]:mad:[/img] But anyway... I am, admittedly, the least technically "gifted" person on the face of the earth, but some of the stuff they do now freaks me out too! The Wal Marts that run your check through some magical process and then [i]give the check back to you[/i] ...! Did it just mysteriously zap the money right out of my account??? [img]:shocked:[/img] Do I just have an "honest face"? [img]:smile:[/img] Did they already know who I was and what I was going to buy when I came in the door...?
