Maxine: In some sense that day has already arrived. There are single name entries on the DPL. The one I’m the most familiar with is the name Patricia. I used to work for a large online and in store retailer. Every time some woman by the name of Patricia wanted to buy our product it produced a “hit”. Our staff was trained to clear all Patricia’s who didn’t live in Colombia. That was the only way to deal with the multitude of hits but realistically she could be anywhere.

Thanks for your article, and the sad truth is that companies like ours have to spend millions of dollars screening our customers using this information. Wouldn’t it be nice if it was at least accurate. If they can’t find the guy how will we, next they’ll leave off the address completely so that we can screen everyone in the world with the same name as we do with the SDN list.

The 1439 Saltair Fazeli Avenue address may have been a clerical error for 1439 South Saltair Avenue, but it’s impossible to tell. The satellite photos and my recollection of that neighborhood suggest that its a residential neighborhood with three-story apartment buildings.

So, where did the Saltair address come from? That address sites between Wilshire and Santa Monica Blvd in West Los Angeles – probably an apartment house.
