The chart below, however, shows that they were pretty unsuccessful in this and that, instead, traders simply stayed away from the mark...

The Financial Times this morning has a video that just gobsmacked me. I know I've been vocal in the past about ID protection but I'm now at the point that I've been terribly enlightened...and saddened! An American journalist takes us to see another journalist in Russia who visits a store that sells databases on everyone. I mean everyone! Poo

I see both sides of this coin at the Children's Charity (Playgroup) I run. Only yesterday I received 3 Invoices, none of which contained any Bank details, so I was obliged to pay by Cheque. I’m just finishing off a Cheque Book I started in September 2006. I even have some Suppliers whose latest Invoices show no Bank details, yet earlier Invoices di...
