The best way to protect your privacy against computerised financial records is to change your date of birth. While most names aren't unique, the way They distinguish among the different Ian Greens is the date of birth. ID numbers of one sort or another are secondary to that. Many years ago

Please don't confuse CREDIT CARD payments with DEBIT CARD ATM withdrawals... Two completely different things ! Patrick, AnyGoldNow Not completely true. The IRS twisted arms of some Caribbean countries with whom they have trade relations to get their records. I read about it when I was in

The IRS subpoenaed Visa and Mastercard within the last year for ALL records of offshore cardholders that might be US citizens. Yes, it is terrible and unconstitutional and very un-American altogether... BUT it is still worth pointing out that they only subpoenaed records of transactions
