Re: My Web ATM = garbage
[ QUOTE ]
I refused to sign up for this site. I saw two problems right off the bat.
1) they wanted my SS # and I am very protective of that.
2) the site was NOT SSL encrypted so your personal information was going out over the Internet in the clear; VERY BAD.

They want your SSN# for YOUR PROTECTION. The credit verification process helps ensure that the account money is being pulled from is actually yours. Neteller had the exact same verification system in place. Not only that, but with Neteller you also handed over your bank routing number, account number.... everything and anything an identity thief would want in order to become you. You went through this same process with Neteller for the same reasons...
The signup page is in an SSL encrypted iFrame within the browser. If you look at the page source you can see this represented as <iframe src="https://..... The lock does not show up in your browser which is probably a huge mistake on the part of MyWebATM since so many people are taught (correctly) to look for that lock before submitting secure information over the internet.
