Yahoo is a joke. *That article is a joke. *The traffic camera does not
steal your identity. *It's a variant on the typical phone-scam. *How
come they don't title the article, Phone Scam Steals Your Identity -
that's what it is. *Wot maroons. *And while I'm casting maroons, you
too for posting it! *~

Irregardless, I treat any unknown caller as lying to me.
I had a neighbor taken in by someone that identified themselves as
police trying to catch an identity thief.
They conned him into giving out all his credit card information and
took him for bundle.
It's good to keep these things in mind.
