Amazing how quickly CC companies learn about any changes you make in your life

Last night I switched from AT&T to Verizon and kept the same phone number.  Just received e-mail from Chase:

Probably recieved the update from LexisNexis

Just a bit too Big Brotherish for me. Welcome to 1984.

Yup, doesn't really surprise me that they would find out but jeez, it hasn't even been 24 hours.

Since they provide text/sms alerts they're probably getting updates across the provider networks when you port the number.  In order to sms out they need a platform to integrate into the cell networks to produce the text messages. So, when the update was pushed and changed the lookup from vzw.com to att.com or vice versa it produces a change notification to the backend prompting you to update your info again.

It reminds me of something a radio host i listen to always says, he said if the government wanted to know something about you they are better off asking Visa or MC becuase they know more about us than anyone and are more efficient and quicker about collecting data. Add any other major bank to that and he's right, it's amazing, scary amazing at what info and how quickly they gather it.

I think it might be best for us to all adopt spy aliases and go at it from that approach.

Wow, impressive.  One may look at that as tight security.
