It amazes me that anyone will fill in their actual date of birth on an online system outside of a government or bank system. Just put a fake one in, no one is going to check! Jeez.
I use this for just about every non-official (e.g. govmt or banking) account I set up.
The vehicles these people own are rather implausible! In 3 tries I got a Ferrari F355, 1994 Renault Espace, and 1995 Toyota Previa.
