The all the information that is asked for, photo or yourself "with" ID, last 4 of your SSN, Current Address, CC#, Phone #. All this information is ripe to be plucked and used to access/compromise everything you own/ID Theft or have access too.
Right, but aren't these things only being asked for if identity cannot be confirmed in other manners? And I have yet to see photo ID AND last 4 of SSN, from what I can see it's one or the other.
Not saying it's not a concern, just think we're being overly concerned. I'll be damned if I'm not going to get verified for My Vapor Store, My Freedom Smokes, and Heather's Heavenly Vapes. The rest I can do without.
