These sites are all scams. They mainly want your information. They will then illegally require you to fill in forms and click links which are meant to be selected randomly by the public. All to earn THEM money per click.

very dangerous
they can stalk you, or hack your computer, maybe even steal you social security number

who knows

[Mike]

it depends on which kind of info like credit card # phone and where you live is bad

[Jason H]

Depends on the site. Some sites are fine to put that, they even ask that on some game sites. Just dont put your credit card info on any of them unless you are 100% sure its a safe and secure site.

very simple if you wish to do online surveys you will have to make sure that the company is a proper company and not a fraud as there is allot of fraud company's online these days the best thing to do is not to do it but there are ways to find out if they are real or fake in different country's

[Emily]

yes, they can do bad things with that info, they can send you things you don't want, they can give your info to other people and third party organizations that you probably don't want to have your info.

How bad does it have to get before you figure out that giving strangers personal information allows them to:
A. know where you bank, your account number and how to get into it
B. Know your credit card numbers and expiration dates
C. Know your mother's maiden name, an important piece of identity theft
D. know where you live, your marital status etc.
E. know your social security number and often your driver's license number, the two most important pieces of information necessary for identity theft.
F. What else do you need to know?
