Re: Is being "117" years old going to affect my credit rating ?
If you use your real name, and there are few/no others in the area where your IP geos to, then they'll probably be able to link it up to your real info.
Like you, I'm an old dude - 114 years old this January 1 as far as Facebook is concerned! But I use my real name, and I'm the only person with my name in the city I live and where I typically login from so I'm under no illusions that Facebook can marry the datasets to figure out who I really am. But who cares - I'm a lot more worried about the REAL data they have on me from other sources than what little they can collect on me via Facebook.
As for scrapers, I've had the app platform completely disabled for years so I know I'm not part of the CA dump even if one of my friends was dumb enough to take that particular quiz. Likewise, anyone trying to use my email address to access my profile won't get much, as I've had my profile hidden from public searches for ages so they won't even see my advanced age. Heck I don't even have my (fake) birthday visible to my friends, or a relationship status or even the city in which I live. Outsiders can't search through my phone number at all, since I have never given a phone number to Facebook. Of course that's only because I never trusted Facebook, so I always locked things down as tight as I could...
