I enjoyed following AVB's contest from yesterday and was amazed at how quickly many of you were able to run down the answers to some fairly obscure questions. AVB even mentioned that he "pre-Googled" some of the questions to make sure the answer wasn't easily found. Still the internet is a formidable research tool in the hands of skilled and seasoned professional...or in the case of you guys, a bunch of cigar-smoking lazy a$$es who somehow manage to spend hours surfing the web when you are supposed to be working! :laugh: Still, it's scary!
So....I have recently had my personal information compromised (3 times this year)...Once by my company (stolen laptop from car), once by Office Max (server hacked with debit transactions) and once by the VA (stolen latop). This combined with the fact that I've personnally have made a lot of my information publically available over time....not all at once and not all in the same place though....makes me pretty vulnerable to identity theft. Just how vulnerable I wonder. I aim to find out.
Here's the contest...find out what you can about me. I'm curious to see how much info is out there and what can be learned with a little digging. Winner gets some really nice sticks from me (package of cigars worth at least $100).
Almost all of this info is out there somewhere (I'm not telling where, but cigars isn't my only hobby). A lot of it is public record. I added a few questions that require some digging, but are at least "inferable" from other statements I've made. 1 or 2 may require guessing or seeing me naked (ha, ha, ha...that's worth the $100 in cigars right there!).
