    I'm worried that if I divulge those sacred last three digits, one of you people will steal my identity, and exploit me in numerous ways.

    DIverting income tax refunds.

    Logging on to snag 10C tickets.

    Defiling my Facebook page and using my Photoshopped image in pornographic publications abroad.

    I know how you people are.

    Just wondering why everyone feels the need to hide their number like its a direct link to the White House files on Area 51?

    Yeah, I've always wondered this too. It's not like, I don't think we can actually gain anything by knowing people's full number but then, yeah I only remember my 1st three now, oh shit, I've forgotten them too 449or469XXX I think.

    I thought this thread was going to be about people had started signing their posts with xx like letters or something, showing how much we all LURVE each other!!
