Sometimes while surfing we see some sites offering free joining & joining bonusetc. We fill in the free joining forms & provide all necessary information to the web site to whom we are not much familiar. What sort of precautions one should observe to keep while submitting the information like your name, address, cell no etc.. Is there some incident happened with you?

yes, it is true that giving information on net could be harm but as the world is getting so changed a time will come when u will have only one source "The Net" to do all ur works and fulfill all ur needs.....

it depends which sites you're going to enter your personal data to. so be careful. For example, if you're going to signup for an email account in Yahoo! or Hotmail, then I'd suggest you never enter real personal data except Name. Got the matter?

I heard some reports before that duplicated eBay site where they can make fake trades to their victim. The victim gave all his/her informations about credit numbers, names and address. The poor guy just sold his information and money away. These scammers should be put to prison somehow.
