Yes, so I've heard. The internet has opened up a new world for us, but it also exposes us to lots of new risks.

Having to be ultra careful all the time is not a good way to live.

There are some sites that are especially bad about selling their clients stuff. Facebook is one of them. That's how they make a lot of their money. So there are some precautions one can take and one of them is the birthday.

Well I'm afraid the cat's out of the bag on that score. I'm glad you didn't tell me all this last week, when it was my birthday; it might have put a bit of a damper on the occasion.

I've done it in the past myself. No more. There was another site I was on where most of the women were born in 1899. That was a big clue. It was the one popular before Facebook. Things are such as they are. People who run scams often get a little info here and a little there and put it all together. There are programs designed to do that.

You can only go from where you are. My husband designed computer software for large companies. He was really good at it. His mind thinks that way. He got into the field when it was in its infancy. He's the one who let me know what kinds of things are possible. He also designed our website from scratch. I need to be more careful than I am.
