08:08 <@Mirage> These ppl would have just *loved* Timmy Chada back at my High School.. he was Sihk and so had his hair up in a turban all the time, but when/if he ever had to re-wrap it you could see that, due to them not cutting their hair, his hair was down to his waist.
09:20 <@dasunt> Anyone have any experience with working for Wells Fargo?
09:30 < aestetix> thank god no
09:33 <@Corydon76> They bought my mortgage shortly before the major scandal regarding opening accounts on behalf of customers hit the press.
09:34 <@Corydon76> They were supposed to have instituted major reforms and shakeups of the corporate structure, so any experience before then may not be entirely germane anymore.
10:10 <@eryc> pretty sure they got in trouble again for the exact same thing after those reforms
10:25 <@Evilpig> Congratulations! Quartermaster Logistics has shipped your order on behalf of Skybound Games for the Trial by Trolley Kickstarter!
10:27 <@Mirage> holy overfunding...   3.5mil vs 69k goal
10:31 <@dasunt> aestetix, Corydon76:  They kinda want me to interview with them, for a position I'm not too happy about.
10:32 <@Corydon76> dasunt: I'd do the interview.  At the very least, you'll get some more information about the job.  You can always say no, if they offer something.

10:33 < aestetix> what a rebel
10:33 <@Corydon76> aestetix: Is that Ethan?
10:33 < aestetix> yes
10:33 < aestetix> how did you know his name
10:34 <@Corydon76> His brother followed his lead several months later.
10:34 <@Corydon76> Old story
10:34 <@Corydon76> His mother went on a professional victim tour.
10:35 <@Corydon76> It was a hot story several months ago.

10:36 <@dasunt> Corydon76: I don't know.  At this point, they want a SSN, and while the company seems legit, and the person seems to work at the company, and a background check is logical at a bank, I'm not really comfortable with giving out that information.
10:36 <@Corydon76> It was kind of funny that she had a problem that he did his own research, and because it wasn't in line with her decision, she called it disrespect.  Funny, I thought "doing our own research" was exactly what antivaxxers wanted us to do.
10:37 <@Corydon76> dasunt: "The company seems legit".  What?
10:37 <@Corydon76> Is this not an inquiry from someone with a wellsfargo.com email address?
10:38 <@dasunt> Corydon76: No, it is a recruiting company that posted the job I did apply for.
10:38 <@Mirage> Most financial institutions will run credit/background checks.  I got turned down for a position waaaay back at a back because they didn't like my credit history.
10:38 < xray> Anti-vax is just like any other conspiracy theory. They do not recognize any of the sources of information you use as valid so there is no way to convince them.
10:38 <@Corydon76> And it seems a little premature to giving them your SSN.  The interview should happen first, and only then, if they decide they're interested, should the background check commence
10:38 <@dasunt> Which does exist, but you see the problem, correct?
10:39 <@Corydon76> dasunt: Yeah, I would tell them that the background check is premature.  They're welcome to invite you to sit for an interview, but you won't be giving your financial information to anybody who isn't an HR official for Wells Fargo.
10:41 <@dasunt> Agreed.
10:41 < xray> The process I have seen is, interview then job offer contingent on passing a background check. If they haven't already interviewed you and made an offer then they are violating industry practices which is a major red flag. If it was me it would be a hard pass. There are way to many good positions out there to take a chance with such a sketchy outfi
10:41 < xray> t.
10:42 <@Corydon76> I agree with everything xray said.
10:45 <@dasunt> I'm giving them the information they can get from my resume, or similar, and that's it.
10:46 <@dasunt> No SSN though.
11:14 <@dasunt> Kinda may just be a regular scummy recruiting agency though.
11:22 <@dasunt> Also, speaking of scams, did Amazon's CC start showing up as JPMCB card services for anyone else?
11:23 <@dasunt> Because that was a few moments of shock when Credit Karma (yep, I know, feeding the capitalist information mine) changed that on me.  All of a sudden I had an account I never heard of with a balance.

11:24 <@dasunt> Also, somehow, it didn't update a masive bill I put on a card that I usually have a few hundred on at max, so I got to see an account balance in the four figures.

14:12 <@dasunt> LOL, that was a scam.

14:40 <@dasunt> Huh, the last four digits of a SSN is actually a thing.  TIL.  Well, not going to work with those recruiters anyways.

14:58 <@Mirage> for social engineering/id theft i could see it since a lot of places ask for your address and last four as verification.
15:00 <@dasunt> > “One common thing that freaks people out is when [an] agency [asks] for their [Social Security number] or the last four digits of it,” says Megan Pittsley, a San Francisco-area recruiter. However, to prevent duplicate referrals, many large corporations now require agencies to provide this information when they submit a candidate, she says. “It's becoming a more common practice,” she says. “My
15:00 <@dasunt> best advice there is just to know who you're working with.”
15:01 <@dasunt> That's fucking insane.
15:01 <@dasunt> Last four digits + resume is likely enough information to guess the full SSN.
15:04 <@dasunt> I know SSN a few years ago was randomized, but before that, they were handed out in blocks for regions.

20:03 < K`Tetch> also its illegal to use the SSN for an identification number
21:48 <@opticron> and yet...
22:12 < K`Tetch> oh i know
22:13 < K`Tetch> kinda pisses people off when they ask for your SSN, and you ask 'why, I didn't know I was billing you, but if you insist, it's $200/hour in 6 minute increments"
