secure document e-mail question

[71chevellejohn]

I have a background check in the form of a Word file(*.doc) and the requestor(work related) wants me to submit it to them via email. Since this has a lot of personal information involved I am hesitant to just send it normally. I've already postponed them for a week over what I see as a personal security risk.

In regards to identity theft, is there any way to make it more secure when I email it?


Thanks in advance.

You could password protect it and send the pword in a separate email.

zip/rar it and password protect it.

save it as a pdf too.

Easy to crack.

Tell them you will call them with the information.

tell them to cough up the money and run it themselves

This isn't directly for my employer, but for one of their customer's customer's customers. They needed a signature, and my scanner broke a while back. So I emailed them and they said it was OK to drop off a copy with the end user's HR dept. I had to drive through on my way to Odessa today anyway. So I ended up delivering it in person and avoiding all the extra eyes/hands on my info.

I have already gone through a background check for my employer in regards to performing work in customer's homes and separate checks for each of the different State/Federal Agencies that I work with. Those have always been done in person or through some accredited organization.

You wouldn't think it would be this hard to get in to prison... LOL
