Bottle water company wanted my Social to sign up!

Buyer beware for sure. ;

Have you tried Nestle Pure Life bottled - zuni bear

[ In Reply To ..]
water? It got the highest rating by the EWG. You can buy it at Walmart or just about any grocery store. I like the Culligan water pitcher and filter too and bought it on Amazon. I don't like to give my SS# either, especially over the phone.

What does purchasing bottled water - Have to do with your SS?

[ In Reply To ..]
I'm totally confused. Why would a water purchase have anything to do with giving out your SS number? Are you entering contests or something?

I had the same experience - NK

when I called to order a dispenser and bottled water delivery. They do a credit check and, therefore, need your SS to run it.

If it's a scheduled delivery type of thing where they - bill you, it is for a credit check

I used to have a regular delivery from Crystal Springs and they ran a credit check when I first signed up with them ot make sure that I was not a dead beat. That's probably why they wanted the OP's info.

Thanks - nm

At the same time, the number of unemployed grew by 170, ...

Bottled Water Or Tap?Feb 18, 2014
I was wondering, just out of curiosity, why people buy bottled water? I use reusable, washable, green-type containers and tap.  I use as little plastic as possible and recycle.  In areas with bad or contaminate. Water, I get it, but when I go to the stores, I see a lot of folks loading up on bottles of water.  Like I said, just curious.   ...

Anyone Own A Berkey Water Purifier?Aug 22, 2010

Small MT Company May Have To CloseJan 04, 2010
A wonderful small MT company in my town will soon be faced with closing if the Health Care Reform bill is passed.  She does not provide health insurance for her MTs but pays them well enough that they can afford their own (14 cpl).  She cannot afford health insurance for them because her group is too small for any significant discounts.  If the Health Care Reform passes which states that employers who do not provide health insurance will be fined/taxed $750 per employee, this MT c ...

Chloroform IS Found In Swimming Pool Water.Jul 03, 2011

Chloroform was reported in 1831 by the French chemist Eugène Soubeiran, who prepared it from acetone (2-propanone) as well as ethanol through the action of chlorine bleach powder (calcium hypochlorite). Calcium hypochlorite is a yellow white solid which has a strong smell of chlorine. Calcium hypochlorite is used for the disinfection of drinking water or swi ...

Second, of course, is nasty old government "interference" to encourage agribusiness's transition to proven means of growi ...
