Reply to comment by goodcreditbadcredit in I think I was just involved in a grift. by Dare2no

The grift is scamming you to get personal information for potentially committing fraud. In this case the grift was a drinking game in which who ever gets closest the right answer has to drink. Hoping after they give their answers you will then give yours. (the right answer being all your personal info, D.O.B, age, social, ethnicity, birth place)

They can easily be obtained without talking to you, and there's absolutely no guarantee they will be related to your security questions.

Ears pierced is a security question? Last flight you took? Come on. If it’s first car, elementary school, that’s one thing. These guys were just playing a drinking game. Lie to them. Ignore them. Who cares. But nobody was in danger here.

Real identity thieves don’t go through elaborate crap like this, they buy your stuff on the dark web.

I agree, this situation was harmless. Probably very annoying, but harmless.
