Update - 7 Weeks After the Initial Web Posting |
||
|
It has now been seven weeks since the initial posting of the Everyday Money misdirected emails on this websites home page. To my utter and complete dismay, at no time in the past seven weeks has anyone with any affiliation to the Everyday Money credit card attempted to make any kind of contact. Although, since my initial posting on 1 January, 2011, EverydayMoney.com has recorded an extremely high volume of visits from the very people who offer and regulate the Everyday Money credit card. Including, but not limited to, HSBC Banking and Financial Services, Woolworth's, Salmat Ltd. and other Everyday Money credit card support companies. These people continue to monitor this website through regular visits - but make no attempt to protect their customer's personal financial security. EverydayMoney.com is continuing to receive misdirected email letters and photo copies of personal financial data from Everyday Money credit card customers and even the people at Salmat.com.au (credit card support company) that errantly omit the .au at the end of their intended email address. I could post more errantly received letters and photo copies in this update, however, it would clearly be a waste of my time. I, personally, never could have imagined that there could be such a blatant and total disregard for the security of a MasterCard company's customers, by MasterCard/HSBC itself! First, for a major credit card company to incorporate the use of a domain name that ends with a '.com.au', without taking into consideration the common sense realization that a simple three character omission ( .au ) could potentially result in personal financial catastrophe for its customers - on many occasions, not even by the customer's own hand, but by Everyday Money credit card support companies' poor emailing practices. Secondly, for the very same major credit card company to be made aware by my emailing them for several months in 2010, of the already existent and ongoing problem of EverydayMoney.com receiving misdirected communications meant for EverydayMoney.com.au - and to do absolutely nothing to curtail the situation. Thirdly, for MasterCard/HSBC and support companies to visit this website regularly, countless times in the past seven weeks and never make the slightest attempt to inhibit their customer's personal financial data from errantly being received by the wrong website in a country on the other side of the world. I can quite honestly tell you, that I am in complete and utter disbelief that MasterCard/HSBC has absolutely NO concern for their credit card customer's personal financial security! I can guarantee you, that something like this would not continue to exist in the United States of America. Whereas, the government would intervene to protect it's citizens from the flagrant abuse of trust between a financial corporation and it's customers. The customers of the Everyday Money credit card have only the good Lord above to thank that I am a Christian man. Otherwise, countless Everyday Money credit card holders could be in a financial nightmare right now, and HSBC would be completely clueless as to how their customer's personal financial data was being obtained by criminals on a regular basis. |
