Shocking stuff!

 

[huggz]

I'm amazed at the amount of personal details people divulge over the internet.
It wouldn't take a genius to track down a person with whom you've had on online spatt would it ?
That guy could have been killed

 

[UKa]

well, to be digested with caution - somebody was stupid enough to disclose their identity over the net, no wonder really this happened then. ...

Really? You believe that.

So if you were to have a disagreement with someone in the street/pub/restaurant or whatever, you would expect them to track you down to your house brandishing weapons?

 

[ladylisa]

some loon was bound to do it sooner or later!

 

[jacks_mum]

how often do you answer your front door with a knife in your hand though? I'm guessing he was expecting the loon on the door step - i'm not condoning it by the way.

OMG that is so bad

I think maybe UKa meant that this could be avoided if the 2 people involved had remained anonymous.

 

[Tia]

Really? Not so sure about that. Anyone who goes to that sort of length to make their point probably has no trouble finding other suitable victims.

 

[UKa]

... that has happened too hasnt it? - all I am saying is that by giving out personal details on the net you really dont know who picks it up;

 

[Tia]

And this is why Internet chatrooms and forums have the reputation they have. We're all weirdo's, LOL!!

 

[thelwell]

all so to add its not just posting your details people can make up your id on the net just from snippets for fraud just keep personal details secure and if you have some unusual spellings of names dont use them
nearly all the sites are fed to search forums like google and name keywords can often locate a person posting on sites or some times addreses

 

[UKa]

totally

[Tia]

Well all I can say is "my breadknife's bigger than yours!!" Don't you know everything in North America is bigger!!

 

[thelwell]

no lol just all barking mad

 

[madgirl]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Because of this please could anyone who has opened a photobucket account recently check that their account is set to private - otherwise you are letting people see much more of your lives thatnyou may have intended. Also please be aware that it is possible to track down, say, your eBay user id if you use the same pb account on here and on eBay and then if you sell they have your address . . .

That's how I ended up here - a user on a forum I normally post on was causing a great deal of upset and by chance we found her on here when she posted the same upsetting picture but with a different story. . She's still spinning her yarns and causing a bit of worry but you all seem a lot calmer and more sensible than I'm used to. - thank goodness. Anyway I sort of got trapped and can't find the way out of here - or that's what it feels like!

Hope this helps someone (anyone) be more secure.
