Sorry, but, holy Hells is that a sucky site... very bad Idea to give them any actual answers. I strongly suspect that they are gathering info to steal identities/accounts & the like - something about it definitely doesn't "smell" right.
The amount of "free offers" you have to apply for is ludicrous, too. It forced me to give lots of false info that matches the zip code, just to see the quiz results, not that I didn't already know what they'd be... But, really, it was those added little off-topic questions in the quiz & among the info boxes following that raised the most red flags.
If you use any of those in security questions anywhere, and filled it out correctly, it's seriously time to change them ASAP. (As one example, I told them my mother's maiden name was "Fukyomama" - although Asia is one of few continents my ancestors didn't breed on/with.)
I'm not sure if I'll report them for phishing, or suggest to some demon or such that it might be fun to add a little adventure into their lives, or both. I might just let it go, too, but am feeling fairly affronted at the asinine attempt, so that doesn't seem likely. Even if they intentionally made it obvious to people like me, to drive us off instead of going the next step & ending up in direct opposition, it still irritates me & reminds that those like me are supposed to protect those who aren't, not just evade the predators & let them go on hunting others...
