giving your name and putting your photo in my lot

be careful of the world of internet.....anything can happen

I'm a little afraid of putting pics Just in case... I've heard allot of strange stories of people getting obsessive with a particular person.. Scares me... Nice to make friends but Don't want to be stalked...

Well, some people are afraid to disclose this. I have never had an issue yet, as I also do an online Business and network with a lot of people all over the world, and do other things online here to make extra $$.

I agree with u,and I don't think I need to lie on the internet,since I don't know any of u guys.

If a person feels comfortable posting all their personal information online that is fine.

The medias are publishing it in that way..that's why peoples are afraid of that...

I will not give out my personal information in an open forum like myLot, because it is nobody's business but mine. The other thing is that we do not know who is collecting this information. Look at some of the discussions here, asking what is your bank, do you use paypal or ikobo, your email address and so on. If a person was to provide even some of that information, a smart scammer or hacker or fraudster could get fake ID made up. We all give away a certain amount of personal information just through taking part in this time of forum, so there is no need to make it easier for someone whose intentions are not honest.

I don't think it is a big deal to give some of the information. but a lot of people are scared of identity theft.

Because you do not know who gets on here surely you must be aware of the danger in that If not then I think you need to be very careful

well if you put you full name on here people taht know what they are doing and there are some people out there that look for names to scam. I for one don't have a prob posting my first and or middle name but will not my last for the most part. As for my picture no biggy. A lot of people don't like to post either name or photo and well in todays world that is understandable.

i think its personal choice

It is just for privacy and security. This is Internet and is always prone to scammers, hackers and whatever you may call those kind of people. So just limit what personal info you can publish here. We don't know what others can do.

many people are very consious about exploring their identity in public places. Same here, they wont tell you anything untill they trust you completely. Well i have completedmy profile and you can see my favourite cat on the screen too :)

Well, I don't mind posting my picture on here.... if anyone stalks me and then ends up trying to break into my place, then they will be facing a 9mm once they've gotten in.

If a person feels comfortable posting all their personal information online that is fine. I know that I do not. I have never posted my photo on any site and try to avoid giving out my personal information in a place where anyone in the world can see it.
