There's more about AOL to worry about

Did you know that AOL sells your name and personal data for several million dollars each year? If you are an AOL customer, they peddle your name, address, telephone number, age, income, ethnicity, job title, marital status, occupation, investment activity, Internet service provider, length of residency in your home, and your credit card use to purchase products and services on the Internet. It?s a part of the $400 billion that junk mail companies reap off your name and private information each and every year.

How do I know? I was a broker of mailing lists for over 35 years.

If the American consumer doesn?t wise up soon, they will lose what precious little privacy they have left. Their sensitive data will be readily available worldwide, and there will be no control over how it is used. AOL is only one list out of over 25,000 on the market.

Visit my blog, The Dunning Letter, at http://www.thedunningletter.blogspot.com, and choose your privacy or identity theft SEARCH subject at the top of the page. And, let me know if you have any questions.
