And the more that people interact with stupid Facebook games, the more
they gove away. People seem to have become very stupid these days when
it comes to security

Unfortunately, people seem to forget the lessons that previous Facebook
"games" should have taught them. It seems I am able to keep my group of
family and friends away from games or quizzes for a few months, but then someone finds a quiz that they say "gets them", and then another finds one
that says what their celebrity match is, and then suddenly everyone is
sharing everything again.

I've tried dropping hints and trying to model behavior. That didn't make a difference though.

I am constantly sharing stuff with family, mainly, but also friends to get them to realise how dangerous the internet is

I am of two minds on that. I don't want my loved ones - especially my
mother and her siblings - to be afraid to use the internet. They get a lot
of enjoyment out of it. But also, my mother almost got caught up in a gift
card scam. If it weren't for a Safeways customer service rep who asked my
mom "Is someone forcing you to buy all of these gift cards?" she would've
lost a thousand dollars...

I would be the same, my mother is elderly and it is her one outlet. I don't overdo it with her. in fact I have a facebook posting profile that omits her so she cannot see stuff that I know she would panic about without reason.

Exactly! One of the hardest parts about working in security for me is going against my instincts when talking with family. (:
