OMG, it takes a bit to get used to online security! I was doing some unusual business on PayP*l today and I had to jump through a bunch of hoops. First I had to talk to customer service and once we figured out what I was doing with them, they emailed me a form to fill out and sign. Then I had to fax it back as it is part of their security not to accept an email with the document so i could not scan it and attach it to the return email.
So I had to print the email out, fill out the form, scan it into my computer along with a scan of my drivers lic and my social security card. I combined the two scans into one pdf that i could fax with a online service and then send it. In all it took me about 20 minutes after I finished with them on the phone. At first I was a little miffed that it took so much to accomplish all this and then I got to thinking what a great thing it was for me to be setting here in my home and to be able to accomplish all this. I literally could be anywhere in the world right now and get it done. If I were in Spain and needed to do this at my local bank in California, I would be screwed probably but with less time than it would take me to drive to the bank I have done it all from where ever I am. That is fantastic!
