Okay here's the thing. The majority of calls posted are fraudulent calls and unless you're comitting fraud you have nothing to worry about. Believe it or not there are people from Africa pretending to be deaf and user the relay service to commit international fraud. No they're not REAL deaf users.
Relay operators should be careful about what they post. Especially in cases of the FCC law, and yeah it's a big problem. It's really never safe to give out your ssn (Social Security number) or ccn (Credit Card number)...but you should never feel violated, especially on a service designed to help YOU as an individual, pay your bills, access accounts, just like any other hearing person would do over the phone.
The VP device is free through Sorenson Communications, all you need is high-speed internet/cable/DSL to hook it up. If you're paranoid use VP. I'd be happy to see your smiling faces.
