Do you know how cybercriminals steal your personal info? - Here are five common — but unexpected —ways that cybercriminals try to get this information from you, and how to stop them.

1.  Surveys and Games - if you give this information to unknown sites or post it publicly on social media, you’re actually sharing some of your answers to typical security questions used by banks (for example). 
2.  Old Devices - When you get rid of or give away outdated equipment, make sure you delete all your personal information first by wiping it clean. 
3.  Fake Job Postings
4.  Social Media and Dating Sites - Beware of “friend” requests from people you don’t know.
5.  Offline Shenanigans - shoulder surfing, listening, access your mailbox
