Just poison the data.
Phone number? 212 555 1212. (You could change to the local area code if you feel like it.)
ZIP code? 90210, in Beverly Hills, of course. Or 01234, which is Pittsfield, Massachusetts.
- Morizero 6y agoLocal area code plus Jenny's number has worked everywhere I've ever tried
- javajosh 6y agoSmart. Years ago I registered the number 500-5000 everywhere I could in my neighborhood. Just from word of mouth, the number got so popular they banned it at the local grocery store!
- throw1234651234 6y agoThe problem is that this info is tied to warranty information sometimes.
- blibble 6y agofor expensive purchases maybe that's important for my weekly purchase of bread, bacon and ketchup it's definitely not
- throwanem 6y agoI don't know what I'd do without the feeling of security I get from my comprehensive ketchup warranty.
- ConceptJunkie 6y agoI had a massive ketchup blow-out recently. It took out my entire refrigerator. There was leftover lasagna and broken beer bottles everywhere. I'm just glad I'd bought the extended warranty.
- throw1234651234 6y agoAgreed.
- 1vuio0pswjnm7 6y agoGive the phone number and zip of the store asking for the information. This way if there is data leak it is theroretically possible to track who originally asked for the data. This self-reference trick can be done with email address as well. The idea is that, in the event of unwanted data sharing, the consumer needs some way to know where the personal data came from originally.
