I have used the account for about a month. I wanted to transfer to it from a paid discreet email I've been using, hush. It is in Canada. But it is hard to discreetly pay for hush.

However, a downside of proton. I was trying to pay for a month on secret benefits. My payment kept getting rejected, with a prepaid debit card (I need discretion). The payment processor told me they would reject any payment I used because proton was a 'suspect' email address. I should use something more normal, like google or yahoo.

I've used Google Voice forever, my login there is ancient. I realized that same login is a gmail email address. So now, when I am logged into Google voice on a browser, I just open a tab and type in gmail.com, and up comes an email inbox.

But at least Proton, Inc likely cannot just open up your entire email acct to law enforcement.

I have used Protonmail for years and probably have literally 150 accts at this point.

Anybody want to tell me who's doing it?

There are a number of sites that can delete your personal data from various sites and search engines. I personally have been using Deleteme.com and it's done okay. Supposedly it takes awhile to completely remove your PII but I have checked a few different times and it seems to be working.

I'm trying to figure out if others have been contacted and warned to stop or I'm just being singled out here. You can PM me with responses if easier.

Your conquests know your USASG user name?

Monsieur Trask. Ah, but I do have a burner phone. You misread my question. I feel I need to keep my IRL phone w / me when I am w / a gal. I mean, leaving it in the car when I go into a hotel is equally valid, but not ideal if there is a crisis at home. I need to know so I can get someplace I am supposed to be quick.

Obviously, many of us have SOs and have to keep in some semblance of touch even if we are with someone else. What are the best practices to be sure that we have the phone but the girl can't use it to get our IRL identities, and the phone does not reveal anything about our activities to the warden. Nothing would be worse than a call to her from my phone revealing certain 'activities'.

I always cut off WiFi when I am playing, because otherwise my phone (Android) will try to connect and I believe Google keeps track of all networks the phone contacts.

I have started taking pains that the last app I used before entering the location was not my texting / phone app, and also being sure that the last text I opened within that app was something harmless, like a text confirming a reservation from some general number.

All, Watch your backs out there. I received a call from a person claiming to be LCSO and made all these allegations, one problem. I DON'T live in Loudon County. The story line was complete bullshit. WORSE, they were giving me information off my DL and would only know it if they had an image of it. I know it's not from any of the Agencies as I would not send an image of it, it must be from a medical office as that's the only place I remember them scanning it. DATA BREACH.

The fun of getting a new license, credit freeze, LEO reports, and changing passwords.

Too bad a lot of my friends in cyber at NSA have retired, that could be fun having them trace the number down.
