Ontario woman lives through ID-theft nightmare “Evil twin” stole almost $20,000 from her account over several months, but the bank took years to treat her as a victim!
Two years after her identity was ripped off, Barbara Stafford is still dumbfounded that her evil twin was able to steal almost $20,000 using a bogus driver’s licence.
The Whitby, Ont., resident got a phone call from her bank on Valentine’s Day in 2005, telling her that a young woman in Calgary obtained a debit card in Stafford’s name and withdrew $7,100 from her account. Read the rest here: VancouverSun.com
OSA Editorial Comments:
This is a great article please click the link above to finish reading!
“Hot Fun in the Summertime” is a 1969 hit single recorded by Sly & the Family Stone. The single was released in the wake of the band’s high-profile performance at Woodstock, which greatly expanded their fanbase. Thematically, “Hot Fun in the Summertime” is a dedication to the fun and games to be had during the summer!
It’s not 1969 anymore, so please be careful with your pocket book and your wallets, and your internet use when buy anything on the internet with your credit card. ID-theft nightmares can be stopped if are smart and shred all documents daily and when on vacation use your common sense. so you can still have Summertime Fun in the Sun and not regret it…

Hi guys I need wireless data collection software for my blackberry and Motorola. I have been trying to find something for years now. It needs to support drop down menus, gps, check boxes, maybe capture photos, wireless inspection form, and bar coding. If anyone knows anything can you please point me to the right direction.

I have been working in marketing industry for about 5 years and we found a solution that does this. We use it for wireless bar code reading and GPS tracking. The best part is we can customize the forms on-the-fly which saves us a lot of time over a customized solution. The company that makes the product is Westlake out of LA I think. There website is http://www.westlakesoftware.com. Their product is call AirMobility.net. They made a custom Extranet for us for our company to use but their main product site is http://www.airmobility.net. We found this service set up to make it pretty easy for us to migrate the information to our back office system. We use the technology and route it to 40 different servers nationally; has worked flawlessly for about three years. I am note sure if this will match your exact needs but it is what we have been using and it has been working pretty well for us.
