As much as I think Griffin should be shut down, the danger of
Griffin selling SS#'s to identity theft rings (they would only have
a few names and numbers) is small compared to danger of a near
minimum wage employee of Wynn with access to every Wynn Card holders
personal information, being in a partnership with such a ring.
We, all give casinos too much information that they really do not
need in order for us to stay at their hotel, play at their casino
and perhaps get a few comps during the process.
Nevada earlier this year had a misdirected (a nice term for moronic}
piece of legislation introduced by a state senator, that would have
given casino security (those poorly paid, untrained wannabee cops)
your full department of motor vehicle records. As a person who has
already suffered the problems that came from my identity being
stolen, I wrote a scathing letter to this person (no reply) but was
pleasantly surprised when his bill was soundly defeated.
One person working in a department with everyone's personal
information is all it takes.

has the Wynn legal department heard about this giving of personal

Griffin selling (esp SS numbers) your info is very illegal.
What's to
stop an identity theft ring from subscribing to Griffin?

Cautionary Note: Unless you specifically tell the player's club
clerk
in advance of handing her your ID to get a player's card, your ID
will
be scanned into Wynn's system. Scanning is not mandatory, but if
the
patron doesn't ask, they're not told. Sneaky and disappointing.
This
procedure does not comport with Wynn's classy image.

86 advantage VP players, they now have your photo.
They could then share your photo with other casinos or the sleazy
Griffin Investigations. If they share it with Griffin, you'll
automatically be lumped with cheats and other thieves. Griffin
already maintains a database of all LEGITIMATE jackpot winners,
including their name and SSN's.
