Beware of Password Scammers on Social Media!

Beware of password scammers on social media! Do not answer innocent looking questions such as the ones below. This is a great way for scammers to get information about you to harm you. Passwords are usually associated with things you love and/or do because it is easier to remember your passwords. This is why many companies require capital letters, special characters, and symbols. Yes, we dislike it, but it is for our protection.
