Yep this. People give out far too much personal data on fourms. Your date of birth is a primary bit of info that lets someone find you.

That is true but people often tell you their age so the year is easy to work out if you already know the day and month.

I wouldn't care if people know my age or date of birth but it does have security implications especially when dealing with bank and government.

How do we know that someone has given their correct DOB?
They might have just made one up.....

If like me you don't get many replies to your posts, it's nice to receive some happy birthdays from members to reassure myself that I really do exist on the forum.....

Just give yourself a different (from the real one) birthday.

Bit like the Queen.

You still get the messages and the scammers are screwed.

I'm going to try April 1st!

My b day is February 31st. But don't feel obliged to wish me a happy birthday then. I'll still be too young to understand.
