Not so long ago, it wasn't such a big deal to have certain pieces of information about you out there. But in the age of identity theft, online ransoms, blackmail and other criminal activities rooted in exploiting personal information, its more important than ever to protect ones private information. Expecting someone to offer up private information is just crazy. There has to be a better way.
I've asked this question many times and no one has ever answered it. How does knowing someone's real name, employer or anything else make you safe? The only thing it might give you is a means of possible redress in the event the appointment goes awry. Or something a bit more nefarious?
