See What Anyone Bought At Sears - Extreme Privacy Invasion
Extreme Privacy Invasion

Making a purchase somewhere is harmless, right? Unless someone sees your credit card bills, they wouldn’t know see that lacy lingerie, blow-up doll or Pacman memorabilia, right? You may hope so, but you’d be wrong.

Sears is giving anyone the opportunity to trace exactly what anyone bought at the store. The only information you have to put in is a name and phone number.

Want to know what your boss bought? Or your secret crush? Your mother in law? Too easy. After flipping through your phone book, go to the Sear’s affiliated site, www.ManageMyHome.com and input name and phone number, and voila, you’ve gained access to a list of everything they’ve ever bought from the home store.

Thats WRONG. I can see the lawsuits hitting Sears now Dumb Idea. Yes Nice to Track what youve been shopping @ Sears BUT to Let everyone Know what U brought & how much NO, Its wrong. Like legal Hacking. Thanks Sears for more ID Theft. C U in Court Im sure.
