 TITLE: 5 Ways Gen Z Is Putting Itself at Risk for Identity Theft CONTENT: 3\\. Taking Online Quizzes\n-------------------------\nWatch out for online quizzes that claim to help you discover your personality type or other insights about yourself by asking questions about your pets, favorite food or when you were born. It feels harmless to take these quizzes, but some of them can actually gather information that can help fraudsters access your online accounts.\nWatch out for quiz games too. Some of these purport to offer you the chance to win prizes or money, but then ask for personal payment information that can be sold later.\n**How to reduce your risk:** Be stingy with your personal information. If you like to take quizzes, make sure your accounts are protected with security questions that aren't related to common items like where you live, what high school you attended and other personal information.\nAdditionally, avoid quiz games that require a lot of data to play. Don't give out your Social Security number, and see if you can be paid via PayPal instead of giving your bank information.\nParents should be extremely wary of quiz games that require money. Let your child know you're not going to connect your personal payment methods, and speak to them about the dangers of these games. END
