Dear Amanda, Alyson, Andrew, Alison and Amanda
You really really should stop typing my email address instead of yours when shopping, banking and using financial applications online.
This month alone, I have received such potentially sensitive information as:
- E-Trade account statements
- Target.com order informations
- Electronic tax filing confirmations
not to mention a pile of fitness class invitations, crude jokes and email chain letters that were destined for one of you. Several of you have even tried to reset my email password, apparently having forgotten your account name.
Fortunately I’m a nice guy and I diligently contact all these financial institutions and ask them to fix the problem, instead of hijacking your accounts and ordering lots of extra pairs of shoes on your behalf.
But really, it’s time to be more careful. I don’t have a lock on ‘asteele’ for every email service out there, so one day you may not be so lucky in who ends up receiving your email.
This concludes my public service announcement to the rest of the A Steele’s on the web.
