I was registering my debit card with Yes Optus to re-charge it. The operator
on the other end of the phone asked my previous address!!!!!????? Why do you
need this data? She also asked all my personal details including date of birth,
current address etc. Oh come on, all you need is my credit card information. I
am recharging a pre-paid phone only not registering for the parliament to be a
senator. On the other hand, when their databases filled up because of bad
analysis and design, they will be hiring one of us.
These days we are trying to find a rental place to move in. You won't believe
the forms that you need to fill in. And each member of the family has to fill
in. They are also asking salaries of each family member and 2 recent payslips.
Based on my work contract, I can't disclose this information to others. Previous
referees and my employer's contacts should be more than enough for those forms.
I understand that they are trying to protect themselves, but surely people like
me who are trying to rent a place does not deserve the trouble of filling out
those forms. Think that you are applying about 10 places and there are 20 forms
to fill out. I am glad that at least they are not asking to
Uzay to fill out some
forms.
