I'm sure many of you have come across websites where you can take free surveys to get points for certain things.
I noticed all the free ones require adresses and credic card numbers and phone numbers.
My dad hates putting our credic card number online and I'm aafraid we'll get charged for something anyway?
Are there any fake legit addresses, credic card numbers, and phone numbers for purposes like this?

Xenolan answered Thursday February 25 2010, 2:31 am: Follow your dad's advice on this one. If it's free, why do they need your credit card number? Answer: because it's not free. Or at least it won't stay that way.
Posting your personal information online in an attempt to get free stuff is an open invitation to identity theft. It's a very bad idea. [ Xenolan's advice column | Ask Xenolan A Question ]
