Never Send Your Personal Info By E-mail

I just received this letter from Rogers Cable, a multi-billion dollar company that provides TV cable, long distance phone service, & high-speed Internet. In the letter they suggest that I e-mail them credit card information. I'm quite surprised by this because it is absolutely unsafe to send any kind of confidential information via regular e-mail. They are not encrypted and are thus vulnerable to being viewed at many points along the way between the sender and the recipient.

I think the moral here is that if you receive advice that doesn't sit right with you then get a few other opinions.
