Safety tip for 2020 dates
Jan 2, 2020 22:38:58 #
Just finished reading this because it makes sense: when you're dating a legal document this year, write the whole year, e.g. 3/15/2020 instead of 3/15/20. Too easy for someone to add two numbers and make the date look like another year, like 2017 or 2022. In these scamful times it doesn't hurt to be uber careful.

Good info, however they probably started doing this in the last few years. 12/24/19 instead of 12/24/2019 or 12/24/1999
Where there are scammers out there, there will be fraud. Y2k must have brought this to our attention.

Every form I've filled out in the last 19 years has required 4 digits for the year. This was the result of the non-event of Y2K!

Makes sense.

Thanks for sharing, BlueMorel.

Y2K was a non-event because computer coders world-wide caught the reason (two digit data format for yearss) and executed a fix, world-wide.
