(It's Not Me) Talking

So I got an inter­est­ing let­ter in the mail the other day. I had actu­ally set up my mail to be for­warded to my Min­nesota address the day after I came over here, but Jimmy P says that I still got some at Mon­ster House.

Any­way, a cou­ple of peo­ple asked for my snail mail address, so I was kinda sorta expect­ing some­thing, but what I got was def­i­nitely a sur­prise. It was a let­ter from Wells Fargo, for­warded from Mon­ster House, inform­ing me that the address on my bank account had been changed to 3829 Polton Place Way, San Jose, CA 95121 – 1934. The funny thing is, I have no idea where that is. It’s cer­tainly not my address, or any of my pre­vi­ous addresses.

I hopped online to check things out, but looks like all my money is still there. I changed my account to my Min­nesota address and also called Joe M and asked him to look into things for me. Today, when I signed onto my account online, I had to answer some secu­rity ques­tions. Which is really, really bad secu­rity. Instead of hav­ing one good pass­word (every­one has a strong pass­word with non-​alphanumeric char­ac­ters, right?), you get three easy-​to-​crack pass­words that are guar­an­teed to be nor­mal words. Some of the “secu­rity ques­tion” answers are actu­ally a mat­ter of pub­lic record and can be looked up online.

So yeah… every­one be care­ful with your iden­ti­ties, or some­one else could soon be talk­ing with your voice. And credit card.

Oh, and Merry C… that’s why I haven’t trans­ferred rent to you yet… I was a lit­tle scared to use my account.

EDIT: I found out this was Les­ley M’s address, and the let­ter was to inform me that ADK’s account had been changed to her address. I for­got that when I trans­fered the account to Aaron L, he didn’t change the address on it. But still, since I didn’t have my name on the account any­more, you’d think it the let­ter would have been addressed to Aaron L.
