Women more likely to give personal details

It’s a shocking thought, but in a recent survey carried out just outside Liverpool Street station in London commuters were asked about the personal details. Like any legitimate survey that you would normally see where ask about phones and electrical suppliers etc.

But this survey was different the interviewers were fake, and the survey was a test to see how much personal and financial information they could obtain.

Sadly as expected there were quite a few people who were only too pleased to give up their details to a perfect stranger, with ten per cent of men and forty five per cent of women divulging details.

But it has to be said that there was an incentive offered the surveyors were offering a free bar chocolate to anyone who was willing to stop. If this was a real plan to obtain peoples details that would have been an expensive bar of chocolate.
