    Government websites are leaking social security numbers.

     
    Government websites are leaking socials and business tax ID numbers - is yours listed? It might be if you or someone you co-signed with lost a house or a business, or defaulted on a loan.

    And the horrible part is that people may NOT know that their socials are online!

    Banks wrote off loans as losses, the IRS actually TAXED these losses under special tax provisions that classified written-off debt as taxable income sources, and the social security numbers of debtors were placed online and are still being leaked by government websites. It is possibly happening nation-wide.

    The SHORT website link: http://www.oldcity.ws/

    These documents are destroying job applicants' job prospects as NO employer wants to hire someone with a tax lien, and I am living in abject poverty, facing the loss of MY home, because a former breadwinner now has ZERO credit and our Courts are facilitating fraud and ID theft with the leaking of old documents.

    I am calling for the petition to be signed asking President Obama to encourage Courts to pull these damaging and risky documents OFF the Internet, and have them redacted - everyone deserves to be free from fraud, ID theft, and utility theft risks.

    I will be at the Georgia State Capital today, Tuesday, January 29th, pressing for some changes to current ID protection laws.

    Thank you for your awareness on this issue - our elderly and other vulnerable community members are at risk and need your support.
