I got caught up in this because my bank sold information. My credit card was through the bank.
There was a class action suit brought against the bank and I was awarded $8.
I have a post below but I wanted to make sure you understood how underhanded things really are.
Our personal information is for sale - all of it. People will make lots of money until they are caught. Then they start all over again. Big-time banks are certainly not above partaking of all that $$$.
