Your answers to questions on facebook quizzes can be used by scammers

Facebook quizzes help identity thieves learn personal information, increasing people’s risk of being scammed, according to Prevention.com.

Some quizzes ask questions that are similar to security questions when setting up an account, such as where you were born, the name of the street you lived on, your favorite pet and more.

WTMJ reports that when you answer these questions on the quizzes, you could be giving scammers the answers to hack your accounts.

Your Elf Name is likely intended to simply be a fun holiday game, but scammers can use the information you provide, combined with the information on your profile, to scam you.

If you think your personal information or identity has been stolen, visit the Federal Trade Commission’s website about what to do.
