[nfb-talk] Announcement: FTC's Identity Theft Program for theBlind and Visually Impaired

Wed Jul 17 19:16:28 UTC 2013

I suspect most common sense precautions against identity theft for the 
sighted also apply to the blind, not giving out your PIN on an ATM card, not 
giving out your debit or credit card numbers or PINs to anyone, unless you 
are giving your card number to a reputable merchant, checking frequently to 
make sure that the amount in your account is what it should be and no 
unfamiliar costs have been incurred, being careful about deleting 
strange-looking emails, all of that would apply to us too.

Yes, well, I sort of thought it was how to steal blind people's identity
maybe.
And then I got this picture of a blind guy stealing other people's identity.
I mean, who'd suspect him?
Woops, I mean her?
