- Had to run to bank to stop cyber crooks

- The other day my account was blocked. I couldn't get into it and it linked to other accounts. So, I visited my bank and we stopped some fraud right there but I was lucky that is all.

(4 Comments)Today, EDI Secure LLLP under POA and Founder, A.T. Alishtari notices that virtual scams for virtual ID are also taken which may seem harmless however it is also how new and traing cyber criminals practice their trade like Victorian pickpockets training on each other before making their way in the world. Our Company patented single use credit card number also protects from virtual ID theft and therefore is also a deterent to training next years big phisers.
Several years ago Citibank started offering the service to generate credit card number for single use, backed by the credit on your real card.
Of course I shouldn't be expecting too much veracity from a comment spamming company in the first place.
In fact, most people find out about it later and some too late to do anything about it if it is debit and not credit.
It isn't right that we can lose funds and if we are not timely, we have to pay and the crooks get away with our assets, our credit, our good name and lots of virtual or real assets.
It just isn't right. That's what I think. Ciao now.
