The continued invasion of privacy REALLY IRRITATES ME! I forward this for
your information/action as you see fit. I just called them and the ONLY way
to get your name removed is via fax or letter. Call the 800 number listed
below and select option 1 if you are a Lexis customer or option 2 if you are
not. They will then give you instructions.
>Text item:
> FWD>Oh no you don't...
>This is not a joke...
>Your name, social security number, current address, previous
>addresses, mother's maiden name, birth date and other personal
>information are now available to anyone with a credit card through a
>new Lexis database called P-Trax. As I am sure you are aware, this
>information could be used to commit credit card fraud or otherwise
>allow someone else to use your identity.
>
>You can have your name and information removed from this list by
>making a telephone request. Call (800)543-6862, select option 4 and
>then option 3 ("all other questions") and tell the representative
>answering that you wish to remove your name from the P-trax database.
>You may also send a fax to (513) 865-7360, or physical mail to
>LEXIS-NEXIS / P.O. Box 933 / Dayton, Ohio 45401-0933. Sending
>physical mail to confirm your name has been removed is always a good
>idea.

>As word of the existence of this database has spread on the net,
>Lexis-Nexis has been inundated with calls, and has set up a special
>set of operators to handle the volume. In addition, Andrew Bleh
>(rhymes with "Play") is a manager responsible for this product, and is
>the person to whom complaints about the service could be directed. He
>can be reached at the above 800 number. Ask for extension 3385.
>According to Lexis, the manager responsible is Bill Fister at
>extension 1364.
