Well, it would never occur to me, to apply for a job using somebody else's resume, or to
find an antique phone number to borrow. In fact, when asked, I never give out incorrect phone numbers, or addresses,
so when mine is 'borrowed', it is not forgiven. Theft of vehicles, and theft of numbers, NO DIFFERENCE. A
seven-digit passcode to your car stolen, is a stolen vehicle, potentially. This is ALL identity theft.
My cellphone number with Verizon Wireless, it seems, is still activated!
But, as I mentioned in "Frog Matters", and as could possibly be surmised from reading my other articles, "to ban American's
mental blackout or America's opium", I have retired my cellphone, as in my 2007 resolutions.
It is curious, that I find out on Memorial weekend, that my (818) 419-2638# is still on. This happened with my very first cellphone number, an AT&T number, after I lost four cellphones
in a row (curiously the phone# loss also occurred around Memorial Day, 2002). My (323) number was given away to another
paying customer, while I FUDDLED about trying to choose an appropriate cellphone model to replace my favorite NOKIA,
that kept getting lost. As I went to check my voice-mail one day, I was greeted by a loud RAPPER tone. Was AT&T
contrite? Not at all. --"Celling your
soul."--
The crime increases when someone borrows? your resume. A reminder - you should make your resume
VERY HARD TO BORROW. You may also be more selective in who is able to view it. Resumes that I submitted
over 18 months ago, are still being answered upon -- although deletion has been requested of most/many. Would you like
an old resume to pop up after you have been a CEO for 10 years?
It is a note, and a final note of Peculiarity (of which there are so many) of CELLULAR and Internet services,
that your identity changes every time you acquire another cellphone or e-mail address. If you can't remember who you
are, no one else will, as well.
