[ Has nothing to do with fear, Leprechaun, but rather, an abundance of caution. Consider your post. I have one Shane Draney from Ogden, Utah. With this information, I can easily obtain some geneology information, including mother and mother's maiden name, and father's name. With a little digging, I can determine city of birth, and then I can request a birth certificate from your home state. Once I have a birth certificate, I can "become" you with little trouble. Short of that, with name, address, and age information, I can open credit cards in your name. Call it paranoia if you want, but this is done every day. Let me repeat, giving your name and age on the internet is careless and is setting yourself up for trouble. ]
Ok, well if it is that is easy it then I guess we could just open any phone book in any town or use the internet for that matter to find names then begin doing as you outline, but I think if is that simple then I bet milliions of peolpe have already figgered it out, if not already, then they know now.
