Strangers on IM

Ok so I know we have all had this happen. You are sitting there and someone starts talking to you out of the blue. Do you talk back to them? If you do do you regret it? I have recently had this happen to me and the lady is cuckoo. I am really off the wall. Anyone else ever had this problem?

Yes, i do talk to them provided i don't give out any vital information about me. No photos too. Some people usually act as strangers but they actually know you in person. They just want to know some juicy tidbits about your personal life so it's really best to just don't say anything. I do ignore sometimes because i don't think it's beneficial anyway. If i am looking for a chat, then i'd chat with known friends.

You have a very good point. I too do not give out any personal information over the chats as anyone can say they are are anybody on the net and we will not know the truth. I do like making new friends though.

I'll talk to anybody on the IM! I love getting to know people from all over the world that I otherwise would never have known. Sometimes you get a good internet friend and sometimes you just get unlucky. That's just how it goes.
