Ohio Ping
The answer: The quiz is legit, part of an effort by the state to thwart … scams. Specifically, the filing of phony tax returns.
Ok, it’s legit. But how does the State official asking the questions know the correct answers?
I suppose the answer to “What brand of car do you have?” can be gotten from the BMV, but “How long is your mortgage”? How is that info accessible to said State official?
And “How old is your grandchild”? How does this State question asker know I have grandchildren, let alone how old they are?
Does the State official have to pull the info from several databases, or is there one concise file on each citizen?
