Amazing sloppiness at Mastercard

[Alex]

Having had some insight into how credit card applications are processed when I was at Wells I am somewhat surprised by this and must give some small credence to the possibility that the story isn't true.

But only small credence, particularly since it is Chase and their persuit of new accounts is particularly cutthroat.

This is why no piece of paper with personal information on it goes into our regular trash. Not even shredded. We have a separate box for all such paper and periodically we take it into the office and put it in the official secure "to be shredded" bins at work.
