Dear List:
 
I received this from my son the wiz a day or so ago. Olive said,
"Yes you must post this on the list.
 
Privacy is a very important matter, and having this sort of
information available to anyone who requests it is not good."
 
Blessings, Art       ;->=

     Subject: WARNING -- Personal Information Available on the
Internet Date: Thursday, September 12, 1996 9:31AM
 
     PLEASE READ THIS
 
     Your name, social security number, current address, previous
addresses, mother's maiden name, birth date and other personal
information are now available to anyone with a credit card through a
new Lexis database called P-Trax.  As I am sure you are aware, this
information could be used to commit credit card fraud or otherwise
allow someone else to use your identity.
 
     You can have your name and information removed from this list by
making a telephone request.  Call (800)543-6862, select option 4 and
then option 3 ("all other questions") and tell the representative
answering that you wish to remove your name from the P-trax database.
You may also send a fax to (513) 865-7360, or physical mail to
LEXIS-NEXIS / P.O.  Box 933 / Dayton, Ohio 45401-0933.  Sending
physical mail to confirm your name has been removed is always a good
idea.
 
     As word of the existence of this database has spread on the net,
Lexis-Nexis has been inundated with calls, and has set up a special
set of operators to handle the volume.  In addition, Andrew Bleh
(rhymes with "Play") is a manager responsible for this product, and is
the person to whom complaints about the service could be directed.  He
can be reached at the above 800 number.  Ask for extension 3385.
According to Lexis, the manager responsible is Bill Fister at
extension 1364.
 
     The representative will need your name and social security number
to remove you from the list.  I suggest that we inundate these people
with requests to remove your info from the list and forward this
e-mail to everyone you know.
