With online billing becoming more and more convenient, I was wondering how many people use online billing options. Are people taking advantage of it or are they still affraid of identity theft?
Afraid of online bill paying..gotta say that it worries me..the whole identity theft thing. However it is just as wasy to steal a check out of a mailbox and get someones info from that.
So who knows..

I do all my billing online. I check my account every so often to make sure nothing funny is going on. There are like only 1 or 2 bills that I write checks for but everything else is online.
Terrified of ID theft, (You recall what I DO for a livin right?)
To ALL of the online billing people, please click the HELP then ABOUT INTERNET EXPLORER feature of your Internet Explorer (its right above you).... Your CIPHER STRENGTH should be 128 bit! (Cipher=encryption) If its lowerthan 128, you are at risk! (And PM me if you need to upgrade it, itz EZ)
Otherwise, our credit is flawless, and I plan to keep it that way!
Online baby, the ONLY way to pay. INSTANT PAYMENT!!!!

Maybe so but the risk of just taking any piece of mail out of a mail box is federal prison. I don't feel that security is tight enough yet on the net to freely put all that info out there. On the other hand I am sure my info is already on the banks computer for the house mortgage soooooooo. For now we pay by check ... besides for someone to steal a check and be able to forge good counterfit ones is an artform. heh
