[quote:Anonymous Coward 1148802:MV8xMjQxMTc4XzIwMjI2ODI2XzVDQzU2RkRG] When I bought it for cash, I did talk with an operator to register it. She asked some personal questions and I refused to answer them. I did ONLY give her my zip code for where it would be in use BUT THAT IS ALL! Then I simply put the minutes in and started using it. There is NO WAY I would have given them anything personal about myself, MUCH LESS MY BIRTHDAY! VERY STRANGE! And how come I only got 30 extra birthday minutes and not 60 like the other guy? I will have to ask the nazis about this one! [/quote]
Original Message
I have a TRAC PHONE. Paid cash for it as well as the minutes for it. The idea for the purchase was for anonimity should the unthinkable happen in the future.
I didn't like everything I was hearing about my Verizon cell phone being able to keep track of my whereabouts and pinpointing my location when TSHTF. Also, I was experiencing some strange activity with my old cell phone account (strange messages, strange third party "noises" when talking to individuals about
certain
topics, etc.)
However, something strange happened yesterday. I received a text message from the TRAC Phone company. The message said "We would like to honor your Birthday by giving you a gift of 30 additional minutes when you add any minutes of 120 or more before 11/30. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"
Cash for the phone, cash for the minutes, none of my personal information attributed to this phone...HOW IN THE HELL DID THEY KNOW IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY!?!
