LONG TIME CUSTOMER WITH A PROBLEM
LONG TIME CUSTOMER WITH A PROBLEM. SCOTTSDALE IS A GOOD COMPANY, GOOD PRODUCTS, PROBLEM IS THEY HAVE ADOPTED USING "PLAID" SERVICE TO PROCESS BANKING "E" CHECKS. IN ORDER TO USE E CHECKS, THEY ASK YOU TO GIVE THE "PLAID" SERVICE YOUR BANKING NAME AND PASSWORDS SO THEY CAN ACCESS YOUR ACCOUNT AND PROCESS THE CHECKS. NO WAY I AM GIVING SOME THIRD PARTY MY BANKING INFO TO HAVE IT POSSIBLY HACKED AND SPREAD ON THE DARK WEB. SEARCH FOR "PLAID" AND READ SOME OF THE REVIEWS. IF PLAID GETS HACKED, YOUR BANKING INFO MAY BE PUBLIC INFO AT SOME POINT. NOT ONLY DOES PLAID HAVE ACCESS TO YOUR CHECKING ACCOUNT BUT POSSIBLY ALL OF YOUR ACCOUNTS, SAVINGS AND CHECKING, UNDER YOUR PASSWORD. THIS IS MY OPINION AND I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BUY FROM SCOTTSDALE USING THIS SYSTEM. I HAVE WRITTEN THEM AND VOICED THIS CONCERN. CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR A NEW REPUTABLE DEALER THAT I CAN BUY FROM NOT USING "PLAID". EVEN MY BANK RECOMMENDED NOT USING A SERVICE THAT REQUIRES ME GIVING UP MY PASSWORDS. YOU CAN STILL DO WIRE BANK TRANSFERS BUT THEY ARE EXPENSIVE AND ADD TO THE COST OF YOUR SILVER PURCHASE. VERY SORRY THEY ADOPTED THIS SERVICE. I AM NOT SAYING "PLAID" IS A BAD SERVICE OR COMPANY, JUST NOT ONE THAT I CHOOSE TO USE TO BUY FROM SCOTTSDALE AND OTHERS TO PROCESS MY ORDERS.
