Have
seen this in a number of places and thought I would pass along, in
case you missed it. According to law enforcement, this habit could
put you at major risk of fraud.
When signing and dating
legal documents, do not use 20 as the year 2020.
The problem stems from
the ease at which the year 20 can be changed to any date from
the last two decades. For example 02/01/20 could easily be
changed to 02/01/2019, 02/01/2016, etc., giving scammers a
chance to defraud you. Of course that was also true of using 19
as it could have been changed to 1991, etc, but that would make
the dates changed to much older.
Incidentally, using
02/29/20 would be a bit less of a problem due to the lower
number of leap years. Just had to add that tidbit as 2020 is a
leap year. Ha.
