Take it a step further, I'd say, and start using the SSN of that guy from LifeLock, the one who has a 1MM identity fraud guarantee. I did the same sort of thing with any site that requires SSN -- which, btw, it's technically illegal to use for anything other than social security data. Great tips.

October 1 is Facebook. Keep a sheet of sites with slightly different dates. I also use two letter codes for my middle initial for sites when registering if possible - i.e. Christopher MS Penn, Christopher FB Penn, etc. I’ve gotten some suspicious birthday messages for October 2, which is the date on my MySpace profile.
