[QUOTE="mushroom, post: 282037, member: 8275"] I guess I consider unwanted calls, texts, and advertisements an invasion of my privacy. Sure I can choose not to answer my phone or even not have a phone for that matter, but I would rather people respect my privacy than for me to have to alter my behavior. Just the other day I stopped in a place to get a haircut. The first thing the girl at the counter asked for was my name and phone number. I said I only wanted a haircut she doesn't need my number. The 'manager' heard me, came over and wanted to know what the problem was. I explained there was no problem at all, I was walking by their shop, saw that there were no customers, figured I would pop in and get my hair cut. The manager explained that it is their policy to get all customers phone numbers, they wouldn't ever call me or anything, but if I want a haircut they need my number. I asked for her home number. She got all upset and said that was none of my business. I agreed 100% and left. If I was the type to lie I could have just given a phony number I suppose. I ended up going to my regular barber where they only ask if I want the usual, not an email, phone number, or even my name. Anyway, Paypal, I transfered all funds to my bank, deleted my bank, changed my primary phone number to an online number, and tomorrow I will change my credit card to a rechargable Visa gift card. Should have done this long ago. They have been fined millions of dollars over the years for illegal practices, as recently as last month. Still looking for an alternative.
