I put in a credit card application for Bilt and they want address and id verification via fax. They really want me to send a fax apparently
Most of my documents are virtual now, and I don’t have a fax machine. I see that on Google play there are a variety of apps for sending faxes. Is this a good option to go through? Or should I print stuff and find a library with a fax machine
Great point. As far as I’m aware, for the most part, they’re not. Lazy bad actors can just buy a bulk set of fresh SSNs and credit card numbers off of the dark web for cheap.
Fax is still a terrible solution, overall. But it’s not usually a huge risk - other than as a warning sign that one might be working with an incompetent or malicious organization.
