To all you US guys
Your name, social security number, current address, previous
addresses, mother's maiden name, birth date and other personal
information are now available to anyone with a credit card through a
new Lexis database called P-Trax. As I am sure you are aware, this
information could be used to commit credit card fraud or otherwise allow
someone else to use your identity.
You can have your name and information removed from this list by
making a telephone request. Call (800)543-6862, select option 4 and
then option 3 ("all other questions") and tell the representative
answering
that you wish to remove your name from the P-trax database. You may
also send a fax to (513) 865-7360, or physical mail to LEXIS-NEXIS / P.O.
Box 933 / Dayton, Ohio 45401-0933. Sending physical mail to confirm
your name has been removed is always a good idea.
As word of the existence of this database has spread on the net,
Lexis-Nexis has been inundated with calls, and has set up a special set of
operators to handle the volume. In addition, Andrew Bleh (rhymes with
"Play") is a manager responsible for this product, and is the person to
whom complaints about the service could be directed. He can be reached at
the above 800 number. Ask for extension 3385. According
to Lexis, the manager responsible is Bill Fister at extension 1364.
I called this morning and had my name removed. The representative will
need your name and social security number to remove you from the list. I
suggest that we inundate these people with requests to remove our info
from the list and forward this e-mail to everyone we know.
