7/26    Why are date of birth and mother's maiden name used for identity
        verification purpose?  All your relatives and close friends attend
        your birthday parties and they know who your mother is.  And for
        celebrities even the public knows these info.
        \_ because those companies don't really give a fuck about
           your financial securety.
        \_ you give them the real maiden name?  sheez...  you deserve to
           have your savings swiped.
           \_ I guess I was too naive when I opened my accounts 12 years
              ago.
           \_ Exactly. It is just a "security" code. And if someone steals
              from you, you say there was fradulent activity and you don't
              worry about it.
        \_ Look if you think your family is going to steal from you, you
           should use numbered accounts with otp for all your financial
           transactions.
           \_ Are birth certificates public record?

3/6     When I first joined my company, I got a sign-in bonus which was
        deposited into my savings account the first month. I also got my
        moving fees reimbursed, which was also deposited into my savings
        account a few months later. However, neither entries show up on
        W2 or any other official records (not even ADP). I asked my boss
