<p>Disclosed herein are privacy protection systems and related methods for providing subscribers of the system or method, such as credit card issuers, banks, etc., independent verification of the identity of individuals attempting to do business with the subscriber. The independent verification disclosed herein does not rely solely on the information accessible or maintained by an entity that issued a piece of identification data to the individual. Instead, disclosed systems and methods may not only check with the entity that issued the piece(s) of identification data presented by a user to identify himself, but also may review the records of that issuing entity such that older records can be actively compared to current records in an effort to determine if the currently issued identification data is correct. Furthermore, the disclosed technique checks at least one other informational source to verify the identity of the user, and typically several other source of information that are not related to one another and are not administered by the entity issuing the identification data to the individual.</p> |
