With all the data breaches by private companies, it's never a good idea to reveal pii to companies. To book a hotel room you will need some combination of
1. email
2. phone #
3. address
4. cc#
5. a physical drivers license/gov ID to show at desk
6. physical credit card
Is there an identity protection or proxy service that sits in front of all of these things that generates all the necessary information? It would generate a working CC# tied to a different address, a temporary phone # and a temporary email all at once.
Is the best course of action for now to fill out false information? I'm curious if there are people who actually do more than generate temp-mail for forced signups.
- jjeaff 6y agoI have tossed around the idea of building something like that for a long time. The hard part is already done as you would just need to tie together a few different services like twilio and mailgun, and privacy.com (for the cc part). But the part that has always kept me away from building it is the fact that it is bound to be used heavily by scammers and other less than savory characters and I wouldn't want the legal liability and legal burden of responding to subpoenas all the time.
