We have had two incidents reported in the last week of members being SCAMMED after posting a phone number in OPEN postings. If you need to transmit any personal information, use the Private Message function available by tapping on the members name and then tap "Start conversation" when their ID block appears.
I am thinking “Safe Internet” should be taught with “Safe Sex” since both can end up with you getting F——-d if you are not careful.
NEVER put sensitive information on an open post in any forum. At anytime there can be over 200 search engine bots hitting the forum and some of them are looking for sensitive info like phone numbers.
While we take Forum security very seriously, we can not stop them looking, but you can avoid being victimized by them
Off my soap box
