DOES SAUNDRA ZUBKO HAVE YOUR NUMBER? (Re-printed from an earlier blog article.)
Social Security? Drivers License? Credit card? Bank account? Unlisted phone? Date of birth and mother’s maiden name?
In a February 19 letter*, Bill Delaney, Bay Colony Club Board of Directors V.P., alleges: “Photocopies of your personal information were illegally taken from the office by Saundra Zubko.” Delaney advised: “You need to take immediate action to protect your identity and consider placing a fraud alert and or security block with all of the credit reporting agencies.” *(To see a copy of this letter, click on “BCC 2010 Delaney Letter” under “Links” in the left column.)
1. Is this allegation true? If so;
2. What other BCC owners had information stolen?
3. Who else knew about this theft and when did they know it?
4. Who, besides Zubko, has this stolen information?
5. What action will be taken (immediately and longer term) to prevent future acts like this?
6. Is it really safe to leave keys to my apartment with the office?
Hopefully answers will be given at Monday’s Board meeting. Stay tuned for further info.
6/5/10 Since individuals' personal data was allegedly removed from BCC files without the consent of the individuals, this is a criminal as well as a civil matter. The BOD investigated and apparently confirmed the allegations as true. Since the data was under the safe-keeping of the BCC Association, why hasn't the BOD filed criminal complaints against all those involved?
