It has nothing to do with the people involved, it's all automatic (aren't computers wonderful?)
The https sites reduce the likelihood of this happening, so I'd prefer some other way of sending the info also.
Occasionally, when I have to send a credit card number to a mom-and-pop place, I send the numbers in two separate emails or I spell out the numbers. I'd feel more comfortable with that (if no https option/phone number is available)
Would that workaround work for the organizers?

I agree. There are a huge, and growing, number of programs that troll emails for certain number sequences, keywords, etc. This info is then put to nefarious uses.

i don't have time to set up something more secure. i suggest those of you not willing to send the info per mail send me their telephone number together with a timeframe when they can be reached - so i can call 'em to collect the necessary info. that seems to be the simplest, cheapest and fastest way.
cheers

Chris, do you have Skype capabilities? If not, PM me your phone # & time to call you & I'll call you. I have cheap int'l call capability on my phone service or I can Skype audio or video call you. I'm on eastern time zone. Will be out rest of day but back in office in the a.m.
Cheers.
Cheers.

Depends. In my office there are just 3 people and the fax machine is very secure-- so it depends--if you have a fax machine in your house or if your fax machine is located in a public place. But multiple emails are probably more secure

Requested info sent via Skype IM, so am set there. Now to get the airline tickets. Yeah I know - was supposed to have booked those a while ago. Now it's going to cost me more in $$ or in redeeming an award.
Cheers.
