    Lately I been getting a lot of emails from Mike Mezaks outfit. It gets my goat that his emails are titled, from the “CSN Mint”... Really??..... I don’t mind getting coin photos in my email but I never purchased from CSN and I can’t figure how they got my address unless the mint is selling email addresses.

    Not here either.......I don't think they sell our info. They want to keep everything for themselves...... devil.gif

    Me thinks, Randy, that some other 'cur' is involved and not our beloved, trustworthy, stalwart, incorruptible, honest as the day is long........mint.

    I for 1 am very tired of having my information shared or compromised.
    Case in point my wife and I changed medical doctors. A hospital in Baltimore purchased a full size food store and set up like a medical center. In fact they purchased a store I once cut up cows in lol!
    Its a full service center plenty of doctors....brand new over 10 million put into this location...and the best part 5 mins from the house.
    However they were hacked....and of course they didn't say anything at first.
    Strike 1
    Strike 2 they never have done anything to help the paients who information was stolen.
    Im not done with them yet....so strike 3 is about to be thrown over the plate.
    Why is it you need to add to your home owners insurance or buy protection from some other ass loosing your information?
    I gave you my medical records, along with my SS number, my mothers maiden name, and I need not see your proctologlist as you all are already shoving this up my butt!
    So his services arent needed.....what is needed is you the business needs to ensure your customers in this case paients to protect their health as well the information they trusted you with....
    I am so tired dealing with people who are irresponsible.
    Im sorry if the cost of doing business has gone up....for what you charge me your margins should be in high cotton!
    Also just in case you havent seen the memo....your cost for your next dentist visit, or doctors will cost you another 50 to $100 to cover all the materials needed to provide you service your next visit.

    It doesn't matter what search engine you use. They recognize when you look at coins anywhere. If you go to eBay and search coins you will start getting coin ads. If you look for doorknobs you will start getting ads for doorknobs. It is sick and we can't stop it.

    Oh oh I know the answer..... A vacation is a figment of the imagination where your body and mind leave the status quo for some fun in the sun.
    Years ago you could board a ship and sail around the ocean running up a bar bill that would choke a dinosaur.
    You get so drunk that you're lead to believe that living in the tropics is like heaven.....until one of the drunk passengers from your ship was just eaten on a jungle tour.
    No worries tomorrow your going to visit a volcano.....need a silver suit for protection? No worries... the ship rents tux's and fire suits. .....if you want the 8x10 print only $49.95

    Many back end service companies have been getting hacked.
    So if you work or go to Company A, the company they use for insurance processing, this or that company is getting hacked. My company was hacked before not directly to our systems, but to one of our service providers that had people's PHI information that they needed for services.

    webbrowsing is interesting. This includes facebook and any other website. They use "targeted ads" that people usually unknowning "accept" in normal usage for websites.

    Google when their email was "beta" clearly stated that they used email content to target advertising. Many apps that you download ads, you also accept targeted advertising. There are public events that you can go to where the organizer will geo track your phone location and travels, and target ads to your phone id .. even target everything you do on a phone if you download their app.

    One has to simply not accept every "yes" for everything and read the content in relation to apps, accepting cookies to a website, etc etc etc.

    I get ads but most of mine are non-targeted. So I just get a jumbled mess of ads that have no relation to anything I do.

    If I so happen to like an ad I will go directly to that website on another window and *not* click on an ad. Auto acceptance of tracking by clicking on ads seems to be the norm.
