I use my debit card for online and telephone purchases. Whenever I use it, they ask for the 3 digit number on the back of the card, NEVER the pin. I would never give my pin out to anyone...especially my kid :) D -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com]On Behalf Of Hollis,Virginia Sent: Friday, September 26, 2003 10:01 AM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: RE: [AccessD] OT- I am a lucky winner?? When I renewed my credit card the other day, they asked me for a PIN number over the phone. I didn't like that at all. -----Original Message----- From: Ron Allen [mailto:chizotz at charter.net] Sent: Friday, September 26, 2003 11:41 AM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [AccessD] OT- I am a lucky winner?? Hi Jarad, Please don't take this personally, but I can't let this go by without comment. <rant> Why are there so many people who seem, at least, to take delight in pointing out completely insignificant and irrelevent flaws in other peoples statements? What purpose does this serve, other than possibly to make the person pointing out the flaw feel somehow superior? Yes, the bank, in the form of most of its employees, does not need to know your PIN. Of course, this is obvious. But the bank computers _do_ have to know your PIN for your ATM and debit cards to work. This is also obvious. As everyone on this list knows, those who work in the banks IT department almost certainly has access to the PIN data. So no matter how you cut it, the bank knows your PIN, period. The point is, who cares? What possible difference does it make to the discussion? Everyone with any common sense at all understood exactly what I meant, and what I said was valid. What was the reason for making that observation? It seems pretty damn pointless, not to mention ridiculously petty, to me. </rant> We now return you to your regularly scheduled Friday OT and maybe even business related discussions.
