Did u notice that u must be selective in what questions u answer so no one gets YOUR personal information?


Question:
some people ask where you were born, mother's middle or maiden name, dog's name, etc. THAT'S JUST ENOUGH THAT IF THEY FIND OUT SOME OTHER PERSONAL INFORMATION ON YOU IT COULD HARM YOU BECAUSE THOSE QUESTIONS ARE USUALLY SECURITY QUESTIONS WHEN YOU DO YOUR ACCOUNTING ONLINE WITH CREDIT CARDS, MORTGAGES, LOANS, ETC. TO PROVE YOUR IDENTITY!

Answer:
I am very careful, but thanks for the good reminder.
Although I haven't encountered any problems like that so far on this website, I was idiotic enough to fall prey to 2 other situations online:
1. I applied for an online job, and after giving them my name, address, etc., I could not reach the company, they never emailed me back, so I wound up reporting it on: ripoffreport.com, which is similar to the Better Business Bureau's website.
2. Recently, I gave a woman my phone number on an online support group site, and since she's only contacted me once to apologize for not contacting me, I really don't know what the heck's going on there. I am afraid that she'll somehow run up my phone bill, I don't know, there are just so many identity theft problems going on. But thank you for pointing this out to me and others, and hopefully it will stand as a reminder to all of us to be careful what we list in cyberspace.
2.
people are very tricky now a days
yap! your right.
I got to thinking of that when answering a question about my pets name.
and then when that pop-up come up asking me to identify my self to yahoo with a previously used credit card.
