The latest news seem to be that giving your name, age, date of birth, that are being asked in most questionaires forms on dating, survey sites, and such, leave us open to identity fraud, Im sure most of us have given out this sort of information, is anyone worried?

Yes, this is really a serious question to all us online money makingers and I have considered about this for some time either. To get paid from a paid survy program, it isn't allowed to give your fake informations to it, but if you do give your exact informations, it is a risk if the survey program admin sells your information to a third party, so something must be done to protect the privacy information from a program which you have joined in.

Actually I have thought about that too. I signed up for a few survery sites and then got more and more invitations to survey sites and completed actual suveys. Never made any money though. The last survey I received was absolutely intrusive and I began to think all this data about me is out there somewhere and could be used to my detriment. So I answered most of the questions with "decline to answer" and decided this was it for me. I will no longer do surveys.
