    It’s ridiculous how you can’t simply trust anybody on anything, because you never know if it’s a scam or not.

    OK, conecting with strangers on Facebook is stupid.

    However:

    Most people also provide their full name, address and phone number to the entire world in the phone book.

    The only thing missing is the date of birth – and DOB is not something people usually think of as private: birthdays are celebrated in public, they’re written in plaintext on the front of our driver’s licenses and video shop membership cards.

    The fact that banks etc. use DOB as a verification mechanism is crazy.
