Me: “I think I’ll jettison all this identity theft anxiety.”
She: “How?”
Me: “I’ll post all my personal financial information to DTLI? and hold a contest to see who could ruin my credit rating first.”
She: “Really? Sort of skipping the middle-man and putting the power in the hands of everyday working thieves?”
Me: “Exactly! I’d have some nominal entry fee – say, five, six hundred dollars, and then make all sorts of things available: social security number, mother’s maiden name, samples of my signature.”
She: “Ooooo! Downloadable as Tiff or PDF?”
Me: “Both, why not? I’m all about the easy access. Do you think there’d be enough interest to recoop costs plus make a tidy profit?”
She: “You do have a pristine credit history, right?”
Me: “Sure, and I’m willing to pay cash until my rating gets straightened out again.”
She: “I’d say go for it. Someone’s probably chipping away at your credit even as we speak.”
Me: “That makes me feel better.”
