Be CAREFUL with those FWD Surveys

Just a safety reminder to all my online friends.....

know those surveys are fun to fill out and forward, but be aware those fwds don't always end up in fun-loving hands. Sometimes criminals use those forwards to find out information about you - like your favorite place, your pets names, etc - info they can use to figure out your passwords or worse, plan a home invasion. Some surveys even ask if you have a gun, if you have dogs, even ask about your children. Most of the time these surveys are in good fun shared amongst friends - but you need to be aware ANYONE on the internet can end up with them, and if read the right way can give a LOT more information than just your favorite color. So please, please be careful as to what questions are being asked. Just want all my friends to be safe!!! - Katina

 YEAH!  And there's another reason why you shouldn't send people those forwards.  Because it makes people want to kick your a$$!

I'm always the person people put down as least likely to do and send them back out...so why do they send them to me in the first place?  Thanks for the reminder.
